Curriculum
We have been learning about the different classes on board Titanic. The children were given the freedom to present their work however they saw fit – there were some amazing results!
The Swans have been thinking about how the freezing temperatures affected the people in the water when Titanic sank. They carried out some investigations that compared their fine motor control before and after their hands had been in the very cold water!
This week, the Woodpeckers have been learning the keys on a keyboard, typing up some information about the Anglo-Saxons. They used ctrl a to highlight text, ctrl b to make their writing bold and learnt other ‘shortcuts’ on the keyboard.
The children in Year One became ‘artists’ and started a new unit of work – Painting and Mixed Media. The children thought about the question – Can we investigate how to mix secondary colours? The children listened to the Sesame Street Lego Three Primary Colours. Miss Jones asked the children some questions- What are the […]
The Swans have been thinking about why the Titanic didn’t spot the iceberg until it was too late. We looked at water displacement to measure the volume of the iceberg and the children were able to clearly see how 90% of the iceberg is under the water which is one of the reasons why it […]
In Art, the Owls looked at the work of the sculptor Magdalene Odundo and how she prepared for her sculptors by drawing in 2D but making it look 3D. We had to draw large shapes, using our whole arm. We used lots of overlapping curved lines in different colours to make our work look 3D.
The children in Kingfishers Class began exploring their new topic for this half term. The children received a letter inviting them to a firework party. The children were asked to work together to build a Guy. Miss Jones read the instructions and the children followed them with support. The children learned about why the guy […]
The Owls had a great first day back at school. We had an immersion day based around our first topic, which is Ancient Greece. We learnt the myth of Perseus and Medusa. We acted out the story and then re-told it as a storyboard. We made our own Greek vine leaf garlands. We even had […]
Today, the children have been learning about the Anglo-Saxons – who they were and where they came from. We will continue our learning and are hoping to produce some ‘eye-catching’ newspaper headlines over the next few days ready for our newspaper report. We look forward to sharing them with you.
The children in Kingfishers Class have been very busy learning about London. The Year One children have been creating leaflets all about London. The children choose different London landmarks and wrote facts about them. The children shared their leaflets with the children in Year Six. They were very impressed with their London leaflets. The Reception […]
The children had a lovely surprise, they received some caterpillars in the post. The children had a good look at the caterpillars, then started their caterpillar diaries! They wrote about the caterpillars and drew a picture. The children will continue to observe the caterpillars over the next few weeks to see what happens!
The children in Kingfishers Class were very excited about digging up the potatoes and seeing how many they got. The children dug through the soil with their hands collecting the potatoes. The children had to look carefully to make sure they hadn’t left any. The children then listened to instructions and were able to clean […]
