Frosty forest fun
Art
In year 6, we have just finished our Art unit, making Maya masks! We were very knowledgeable of the Maya's as we have been learning about them in geography! In this unit, we learnt why they wore such masks and for what occasions. We then designed our very own mask...
Shadows
We enjoyed learning about how shadows are created and how they change throughout the day. We went outside and drew our shadows at 9am and then compared them to lunchtime and later afternoon to see how and why the length and direction of them had changed.
Forest school
We had a brilliant time at Forest school this week, lighting fires, whittling sticks, playing games and exploring nature. We enjoyed building dens and investigating the ice that had frozen around Forest school.
Sequence sounds in Scratch programming
Check out the children's scratch projects to sequence sounds. The children have programmed their instruments to play twinkle twinkle little star. You may need to press the instrument or the space bar to get them started enjoy.
The Arctic Circle
We used atlases and globes to find out where the Arctic Circle is in the world and then identified the countries that it covers. We know that the Arctic Circle only covers parts of these countries and we showed this on our maps.
Mystery Readers
We have loved welcoming more parents into our class to share stories with us. We have enjoyed lots of different texts including ‘Cops and Robbers’ and ‘The Giant Jam Sandwich’.
Food Chains
We have been learning about food chains in Science. We know that producers are usually plants that make their own food and are found at the start of a food chain. We discussed which animals were prey and which were predators. We then worked as a group to organise the...

Technology from the past
Year 1 had lots of fun exploring different items of technology from the past including old phones, a gramophone, a cassette player, cassettes and records. We worked out what they were for and compared them to objects from the present day. We even had a little dance to...
Safer Internet Day 3M
On Safer Internet Day, we asked the question 'What do you do online?' and 'How do keep safe online?' The children made animations to show what they do online and they asked each other questions to make soundbites about how they keep safe online or what they...
