P3/2 enjoyed becoming electricians for the afternoon, constructing circuits and experimenting with a variety of components to see how each one contributed to the circuit.

P1-4 had summer vibes this week! Three classes worked together, using our food technology skills to make healthy ice cream from frozen fruit and cocoa powder.
Children also designed menus for their own ice cream shop, used their talking and listening skills to complete orders correctly in a digital Ice Cream Parlour, and used their knowledge of symmetry to finish ice cream designs.

This week P2/1 were inspired by two of our favourite things – pop up books and dinosaurs! Children made hatching dinosaur puppets inspired by Rob Biddulph, and learned how to make their cute creations move by selecting the right parts of the model to stick together, leaving other areas free to move. It was a very fiddly job that helped strengthen little hands, but the children agreed it was well worth the effort.

P3/2 have finished off their Scotland topic just in time to move onto a new mini topic focusing on the World Cup. We began by looking at all the world flags and used our knowledge and research skills to label each flag. Miss Smith was super impressed by our knowledge of flags. Next lesson we are going to arrange them into their continents before looking at different cultures and of course football. We are so excited about this topic!

P2/1 are wrapping up our learning about Space, which has been a very exciting journey! Children have built rocket ships and control centres indoors and out, have created galaxy jars and splatter paint universes, and have answered lots of interesting questions such as ‘how are rockets made?’ and ‘what makes the moon shine?’

They have created a solar system model with logs and paint, and explored beyond our galaxy in PE games! The creative ideas, knowledge and enthusiasm shared has really been out of this world!
