It’s been a very creative day in Skylarks today. Firstly, as part of their science lesson on seed dispersal (ask them if they can tell you the different ways in which seeds are dispersed), the children learned to draw a dandelion plant with its seeds dispersing. Next, in music they started to compose a song …
Puffins collaborated with local band The Dunwells today to write a brilliant song called ‘Keep Believing‘. The whole process was fantastic and inspiring and ended with a performance for the whole school at the end of the day. Well done Puffins ~ great work! Huge thanks to The Dunwells for giving us such an enjoyable …
Didn’t we have a wonderful time the day we went to Yorkshire Wildlife Park! It was amazing seeing all the animals and the children were a credit to school and their families. Here’s a taster ~ more pictures to come soon.
Skylarks did some colour mixing today and learnt the primary colours (red, blue and yellow) and the secondary colours (green, purple, orange and brown). They carefully mixed paint to create a colour wheel and then did some colour ‘additions’.
KS1 learnt how important it was to have good hygiene and wash their hands carefully this week. We pretended that different coloured glitters were different germs. The children chose a glitter and rubbed it onto their hands. Next, they shook hands with their classmates and discovered how easily it spread. We discussed all the times …
Falcons have been learning the names of Les Vêtements (clothes) in French. They created their own items of clothing then paraded them in a ‘fashion show’. Some children had a go at taking the microphone and doing the introductions e.g. « Ici Zoe. Elle porte une jupe. » Bravo Falcons!
On world maths day, Falcons did me a huge favour by helping me with some real life maths problems. They helped me to work out how much money my own children need to earn to top up their student loans to pay for their accommodation. On top of that they worked out how much spending …
Here are some pictures of Bluebirds adding music to We’re Going on a Bear Hunt.
Bluebirds and Robins made carrot and potato soup yesterday. They practised lots of cooking skills like using bridge and claw techniques to cut (pre-cooked) carrots and potatoes as well as mashing, stirring and grinding (pepper and salt). We heard some lovely conversations about things like halves and quarters as well as cooking that they have …
Eagles, Skylarks and Herons used each of their 5 senses in Science this week. They tasted crisps, lemon and milk and dark chocolate and tried to decide which of them were sweet, sour, salty or bitter. They felt lots of items which were hot, cold, heavy, light, rough and smooth. They smelt a variety of …
