Shaping Clay
Measuring in Science
Working Scientifically Before half term, the children planted seeds. We have been able to observe the changes over time to those seeds/ now plants. We were able to measure the height of the plants and record their changes through close observations. We have also been...
The rhythm of life in 1.2M
The children have been enjoying music lessons and today they were using the musical instruments to keep the rhythm and the pulse of the music as a group.
Keep calm and move a quarter turn to the right
In Computing today, the children have been learning about instructions and sequencing those instructions. They enjoyed giving their robot partners instructions to get to the X on the ground. Then they attempted to make the Beebots move around to make a square. By the...
Robots Have Landed!
We were very excited to begin our Robot Programming unit in computing. We practiced giving instructions to our robot partners to see if they could move around the glue stick without knocking it over. Then, we had a look at the real robots we will be using this half...
What is it like in Cloudland?
Our new text in english is Cloudland, so we went outside to imagine what it might be like there. We spotted Albert's cloud bed and a super cloud to play cloud ball on. We also spotted jagged clouds, which would be great to climb up!
