This week Year 1 have started their new science topic learning about plants. Today they were looking closely and examining some fruit and vegetables that grow on plants and trees. Magnifying glasses were used to help to really see up close the inside of the fruit and veg.
We have some great artists in Year 1. Some of the detailed paintings of the fruit were amazing.
Today we have really enjoyed world book day. We had miss Taylor from year 3 read a story to us. This afternoon some year 6’s came to read to us.
Today, Year 4 had a rather disgusting science lesson-we took part in a demonstration to learn how our digestive system works, and how food is processed by the body. We all had a lot of fun and learned lots in the process.
As part of our topic work, we went to North Chadderton School for an art lesson and we made a clay tile. Some of us made a mask tile and some us made a feather tile. We all included Aztec patterns. We can’t wait to go back again next week to finish them.
Today we were working on division. We worked with a partner and used place value counters and a grid to work out a range of divisions. We all worked well together and are looking forward to learning more.
We had a great dance lesson yesterday with Millie. We worked in small groups to choreograph our own routines and we then performed them for the rest of the class.
We had a busy afternoon discovering the Ancient Maya countries and capital cities on a map. We are looking forward to our next lesson which is going to be about the Maya Calendar.
Today we elected our School Council Representatives. We heard some fantastic speeches and it was a very close contest. We are pleased to announce that Phoebe and Finlay have been elected.
The children have been building “strong” brick houses out of Lego for their little pigs to live in.
The children have been set a challenge to make a house for the pigs to live in using the resources in early years.
