Classes
As part of the topic entitled ‘Significant Events’, the children in the Swans class are learning about the ‘Titanic’. In our recent history lesson, the children were given the name of a passenger who was on board the passenger ship; they then had to research facts about him/her and present their findings creatively in a […]
In Kingfishers Class the children have been learning about ‘Harvest’. The children have been thinking about how important the Farmers are and being thankful for their food. The children were tasked with creating their own scarecrows so they could help the Farmers scare away the birds. The children coloured in their scarecrows and cut the […]
Throughout the half term, the Swans class have been working with our music teacher to learn how to play the drums. The children learnt different rhythms, beats and pieces of music. The children then performed a 5 minute dynamic piece of music. Unfortunately, due to the current situation, we were unable to invite an outside […]
Our history topic this half term was based on the Ancient Greeks and we investigated the question ‘Were the Greeks similar to us’. We researched this topic in great detail and realised there were both similarities and differences; the Greeks were much more gruesome than us but they also lived in a democratic society. We […]
To link in with our Ancient Greek topic, our whole class reading and writing for this half term was based on the book ‘Who Let the Gods Out?’ by May Evans; we also linked part of our computing topic to the book. We spent half of our ‘computing time’ studying ‘online safety’ reminding ourselves […]
This term Woodpeckers learned about kennings, an ancient form of poetry originating from the time of the Vikings! We learned and rehearsed a poem along with actions and performed it to our classmates. Kennings are riddles – can you guess what our poem was about?
To end our dinosaur topic, the children in Kingfishers Class showed their grown ups their dinosaur models, clay fossils and dinosaur moving pictures. They were very excited and were able to explain what they had been learning about in class this half term. Well done Kingfishers!
In DT the children have enjoyed creating ‘Moving Dinosaur Pictures’. The children used levers and hinges to make their pictures move. They thought about the tools and materials they needed and the skills they needed to use. The children also created a lovely background for the dinosaurs. Great work Kingfishers.
On Wednesday 7th October the children and staff wore their favourite footwear to school as part of Walk to School week. There was a range of different footwear from flashing trainers to pink unicorn slippers. We have raised over £70 for ‘Living Street’ charity. Thank you to everyone who took part and donated money.
During the week of the 5th of October the children were encouraged to walk to school. This year due to the current situation staff were unable to provide a ‘Walking Bus’, but this didn’t stop children and parents from walking to school. They parked their cars at the end of Strickmere and walked to school […]
This half term Kingfishers Class have been learning about dinosaurs. In Art the children have been using clay. They have created their own dinosaur fossils and their own dinosaur models. The children have learnt different techniques while using the clay – rolling, pulling, smoothing, pinching and mark marking with tools. The children did very well! […]
It seems like week 2 of home learning was as busy as week 1 – walks, creations, rainbows, running, maths, bug houses and baking amongst other things. Happy holidays everyone!
