Where we live…

This week we have been Geographers learning about where we live. We have looked at maps to see where we live and learnt that we live on a continent called Europe. It was fun looking at a birds eye view map of our school – we spotted the muga and our playground!

We then enjoyed creating our own birds eye view map of our classroom. We challenged ourselves to include a key on our maps.

Year 6 Writing Workshops

The week we have been inspired by Luke Temple’s writing workshops. In these pictures we are creating our own mutating mansions. We are really looking forward to writing some amazing stories! 

Exploring our new Early Years outdoor area

The children in nursery and reception have been so excited to explore our new outdoor area! We have a new texture kitchen to make pies, potions and perfumes, a core strength area, water wall, maths and literacy zone and our own mini ‘Community Park’. A big thank you to Cool Canvas for creating this amazing space for our children to learn 🙂

Week 7 – Magic mixtures!

During outdoor learning this week, Les Grenouilles wrote poems about magic mixtures. We used natural materials like red autumn leaves and prickly conker cases to help us imagine interesting ingredients.

Week 6 – making aeroplanes

This week, we made paper aeroplanes and learned about the forces that keep paper aeroplanes and real aeroplanes in the air. We also experimented to see if changing the shape of the wings affected how well our aeroplanes fly. We enjoyed testing how our paper planes flew!

Check out our amazing paper aeroplanes…
