Platinum Jubilee in the Stars Class

*Successful Learners        *Effective Contributors

We participated in lots of activities to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. We wore a crown and robe, did a scavenger hunt, read a funny story called ‘The Queen’s Knickers’ and made crown biscuits at HE. Wearing golden crowns we had a lovely picnic in the garden and played parachute games with the Moonbeams. The Corgi cupcakes were really good too at our jubilee lunch on Tuesday.

Digital Week in the Stars

*Successful Learners

We had a good week using many types of digital technology. We used the I Pad to take directed photographs in the garden and played many games and activities on the Promethean Board. We talked about many changes in technology, made tasty smoothies using a switch and watched a story using a QR code. We had fun using beebots with Miss Smith and making a telephone from paper cups and string (it really worked!) and compared it with today’s handsets and mobiles. Gaming safety was discussed and not to share information. We used technology to cross the road on our outing when we used the pelican crossing.

Earth Day Activities in Stars Class

*Responsible Citizens

We have done a few activities throughout the week to signify Earth Day. We discussed ways to save energy and recycling followed by a trip to the park where we did a nature scavenger hunt. We planted seeds and built a den in class. Inside the den we read a book by torchlight to show how difficult it would be to do things if we were short of electricity. We also made a microwave sponge which uses less energy to cook than in a conventional oven.

One of our Easter activities was decorated eggs. We made Mars Bar tray bake which we cut in to egg shapes. We then iced our egg and decorated it with sweets and sprinkles. We think they look great and will taste even better.

Stars New Dinosaur Theme

*Successful Learners        *Effective Contributors

We started our dinosaur theme by creating handprint dinosaur pictures for our wall display. At science, we did a floating dinosaur experiment where we saved the dinosaur by adding stones to the jug to raise the water level by displacement. We had fun lighting up glow dinosaurs with a torch and making dinosaur shadows. Mrs Gilchrist used a ‘green’ screen for pupils to act out being a dinosaur and superimposed this on to their chosen background. This was a very exciting use of technology. We used a switch to activate the microwave where we made yummy ‘smores’ by melting marshmallows.

We found lots of goods with the Fairtrade logo and made a collage with rice, tea and lentils. We froze sliced bananas to see how they changed, played bingo and watched video’s and played songs about Fairtrade.
