Yesterday we welcomed visitors from a range of companies to help host our annual careers fair. Year 6 pupils got to ask questions to different professionals including: a nurse, a midwife and an engineer, to name but a few! Thank you so much to everyone who gave up their time to help our pupils find out more about future career options.
This week Year 2 have been learning all about algorithms. They drew maps and mazes then programmed their Bee-bots so that they could move from one place to the next.
Year 3 went on a brilliant trip to Norwich Castle this week. They consolidated and deepened their learning on the Ancient Egyptians.
All children represented the school well and were safe, ready and respectful. The Year 3 team were very proud of everyone!
This week Year 2 have started their next Art unit. First, they made their own printing blocks and practised printing with them to make repeated patterns. Next, they dip dyed fabric to create a multicoloured surface ready to print on to next week. They have done a brilliant job so far and we can’t wait to see the finished project.
Year 4 are really enjoying their instrumental lessons as part of their music curriculum. This week they were able to learn the note ‘B’ and even play along to a simple song.
Miss Peek was very proud to pop in and hear Mrs Stevenson’s class progress.
Year 3 have been exploring different musical notes and vocabulary this term. They even had a go at writing their own this week.
They now know what a crotchet, minim and quaver is and are working hard on remembering the note values too.
As part of computing, year 3 were able to code and create their own bands on scratch! What a musical week!
Year 6 demonstrated fantastic teamwork and communication when peer teaching in their English lesson. This lesson was all about working together and generating vocabulary for our suspense narrative based on ‘The Curse of the Maya’. Children also came up with lots of figurative language for the main character’s senses. Each group moved around the room and added ideas or improved what was already there. The ‘Pupil Paparazzi’ then went and collected excellent examples that they wanted everyone to notice. Well done Year 6!
Year one have been doing some great learning in science! Last week we investigated why giraffes have big hooves by trying to push different sized objects into the sand. We also explored designing a menu and creating pizzas for animals depending on whether they were, herbivores, omnivores or carnivores.
Today we identified and named different body parts through playing different games and drawing round someone in the class then labelling the drawing.
Year 3 have been exploring programming as part of their latest computing unit.
Today they were able to explain that programming requires a start point and recognise that a sequence of commands can have an order.
They had great fun using scratch to support!
Year 3 had fun learning about hieroglyphics.
They wrote their own names in cartouches and cannot wait to show them in their assembly tomorrow!
