This week in Woodpeckers, we have turned into news reporters, reporting on the latest volcanic eruptions happening on Earth! To begin with, we learned all about how volcanic eruptions happen, discussing each step from the beginning in the magma chamber, to the final eruption out of the main and secondary vents. Then, we set off …
Woodpeckers spent the morning learning about states of matter and how to classify materials based on their properties. Toothpaste remains a contentious issue, but I think we got there in the end!
Today, we read Chapter 3 of the Chronicles of Narnia and discussed how the characters in our story might be feeling so far. In groups, the children were given a picture of a setting which they had to study. The children had to consider the following: What might you see here? What can be heard? …
This afternoon, we finally erupted our volcanoes! Over the course of this term as we begin to learn more about volcanoes, earthquakes and tectonic plates, we will determine what creates bigger and better eruptions. Stay tuned for (hopefully) some much bigger explosions.

In this chapter, our main character, Will, went to the Sprats’ Jig with his brother Marty even though he ‘hates dancing!’ Woodpeckers task was to analyse our main character by considering Will’s appearance and external feelings and his internal feelings.

The children have written these measurements down on their whiteboards using the correct unit of measurement (mm, cm and …
Our new topic this term is Planet Earth. In this topic we will learn about volcanoes, earthquakes, tectonic plates, the Ring of Fire, rivers and the water cycle. To kick our new topic off, this afternoon we created our own volcanoes. We watched a short video to learn how to create a volcano using black …
We have completed the ‘make’ stage of our DT cooking project. We measured, weighed, chopped, grated (and finely grated), peeled, snipped, tore, boiled, stirred, drained and garnished. We really enjoyed making and tasting the lovely pasta bake.
