We are all so proud of Max for making his own book! We loved listening to the Pokémon Adventure. Max was inspired to write a book after doing lots of research about Roald Dahl.
Fire at Forest School
Today the boys and girls took what they have learned about fire to the playground and lit their own fairy pillow.
We even toasted marshmallows on our fires.
This was one of our Make your Marks Achievements we got to stamp off today!
British Science Week
Thank you to the STEAM Leaders for kicking British Science Week off with an amazing challenge! In groups we made tinfoil boats and tested them to see if they float and how much they held. Tell you parents who the winner was!
Magic Maths
We really enjoyed our maths challenge today. We had to create the most valuable picture.
– stones = 1
– leaves = 2
-sticks = 3
Explain to your family what you created today!
Inspirational People: Greta Thunberg
We have been learning about the inspirational person Greta Thunberg. Inspired by her work we decided to create posters to stop climate change.
The boy and girls also stepped into Greta’s shoes and pretended they were at a summit talking to world leaders and told us all what we can do to make a change and stop climate change. They were all very passionate and gave an extremely convincing presentation! Well done boy and girls!
“Greta travelled to New York to meet world leaders on a sail boat because it’s emission-free” Milla.
“Greta Thunberg went on strike from school so world leaders would listen to her about climate change” Isla.
Mary’s Meals
A few months ago we wrote to Mr Magnus McFarlane- Barrow (the founder of Mary’s Meals) to ask if he could come and visit our school and tell us more about Mary’s Meals.
We were fortunate enough today to have a visit from a Mary’s Meal Volunteer, John Duffy who told us about his travels around the world to help children have a meal at school. He showed us lots of photos from his travels to help us understand what life is like for some children in Malawi and Haiti and how Mary’s Meals help them go I school and get a meal.
World Book Day!
We have had a wonderful few days celebrating world book day!
We enjoyed creating a human library with exciting reads from home and our class library.
We have taken part in a book quiz too!
Finally, we completed our celebrations with a visit from Maisie Chan, the author of Danny Chang does not do maths and many other exciting novels! Today she taught us a lot about Chinese zodiac , we even had a go at creating our own magical creature and she read to us from her new book Tigar Warrior: Attack of the Dragon King.
Numeracy and Maths: Place Value
We have been using concrete materials to show the value of each figure in numbers up to 2000.
STEM – how do germs spread?
Yesterday we investigated how germs spread by conducting an investigation in the play ground with glitter to see just how far germs can spread.
STEM – how do we stop germs spreading?
Last week we were investigating what causes germs to spread viruses and bacteria. We loved using the ultra violet light to see how washing our hands with soap can stop the spread of germs.
