Term 3 Week 3

We started off our week in a very fun way by doing African Drumming with Joy Duncan.  I was so impressed by the amount the kids remembered about the different types of drums and rhythms.

 

In writing this week we continued to work on our ‘rainbow aim’ of  engaging the reader by including openers, connectives and correct punctuation. Our theme this week was Alice in Wonderland so the kids characters have met a whole host of wacky characters! This is the last adventure these characters are going on as we are creating new characters next week. when we will also be adding a new aim to our umbrella.

During our ‘Big Question’ we have been learning about the different states of water; solid, liquid and gas.  In the photos we were exploring how the molecules are in different densities in the the different states.  We also did an experiment to show how a basic water turbine works (it involved Mrs J getting quite wet so the kids thought it was extremely funny!).

 

SNOW CLOSURE 15/01/24

Please all stay safe and cosy as the first priority.  If possible please complete the 3 items on the top row (reading spelling and times tables) in the first instance and then feel free to choose 1-2 other tasks from the board.  There is a task available on Sumdog if you have your log in details handy, everyone was given a  bookmark at the start of the year with log in details on the back, the websites are listed below.

Fingers crossed the snow is short lived and we see you all very soon.

Term 3 Week 1

Happy New Year!

It has been fantastic being back at school with the kids and hearing all their festive news.

This week we have been learning about the different states of water (solid, liquid and gas/vapour). The kids were learning about how the molecules are closer together in solid and further apart in gases/ vapours.  The kids then did some watercolour art and I think they did a brilliant job!

P4/5 have drawn birds of their own choice, coloured using colouring pencils and high lighted with glitter and attached the birds to wool to make their mobiles. They  have made remarkably beautiful drawings.
