In our Science lesson this week, we have been modelling the movement of the Earth, Sun and Moon. We then made a model and wrote a short explanation in our books. 

Today we learned all about how the oceans regulate our climate. The ocean is like a big thermostat! Due to global warming, sea levels rise so we learned the order that this happens:

1. People burn fossil fuels.

2. The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rises.

3. Average global…

We were so impressed by the children’s independent reading answers this week! They have worked so hard on using their own opinions in their answers but also being able to use the text to support their opinions too. Well done Year 5! 

Year 6 have taken part in a debate to consider whether animals should be used in the war.

Year 6 used music technology to practice composing four bar melodies. We experimented with pitch by using a piano keyboard, seeing how the notes move on the musical stave.

Year 4 had great fun making clay creatures, mud paint and mini habitats for worms!

Year 6 have started a new topic of ‘Outdoor Activities’. We are learning about using keys when orienteering around the school grounds. The class completed a warm up around our new running track before doing an obstacle course, finding symbols and their word counterparts!

Year three, had great fun exploring for bugs, we had some wonderful discussions  about why we are now finding less bugs, we all agreed that now it’s getting colder the bugs are hidden or underground to keep warm for the winter.

We got messy with mud, making our paint and made some hedgehogs…

Year 4 ,today, in after school club got very messy! They made wonderful pattern paintings by rolling conkers in paint, made patterns with leaves, hunted for bugs and dug for worms!

Year three, today, in after school club worked hard and got very messy to make bird feeders, we know that we need to help the birds during the winter months. 

Have you spotted any in the trees around the school?

Year six have completed their Geography topic by presenting everything they have learnt to the class, including how we can help slow down climate change!

Year 6 have been learning about order of operations in Maths. We have learnt that any calculations in brackets must be completed first!
