Growing In Faith and Learning
Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Robins have had great fun making cress heads this week. Robins had a visit from the Police and they asked some excellent questions. Thank you to Mrs Wildes for arranging such a great experience. We have an exciting new hospital role play area. The reading ladder is proving popular with the children and more children are earning a treat for reading 5 times a week.
In Maths, Kingfishers have been looking at measures, in particular, capacity, mass and temperature. English, has been focused on our new topic of Minibeasts and we have been exploring our new text linked to this. We have had lots of fun learning a Salsa dance all about the World Cup.
Owls have been learning about safety. In ICT they have started their stop motion videos linked to the class text which we will hope to complete in the next week. They wrote a prediction and blurb in English. In RE, they have started their new topic on Sikhism. In Maths they have been learning about how to find area and have been undertaking investigations linked to this.
In Maths, Kestrels have been using a protractor to measure angles. They have started their new topic in Science - sound. PE has focused on tennis skills this week and in RE they have been learning about Sikhism. In English the children have done some excellent persuasive writing, persuading people to visit Greece. Y5 children had a wonderful day at Open Door on Tuesday at St Editha's Church enjoying a range of activities. We were also lucky to go over to Rawlett to bake delicious brownies.

They have also had a visitor who taught them all about what it is like to be blind. Our new outdoor construction and music areas have opened this week and enjoyed by all.
This week Kingfishers have been finishing off their topic on Explorers and writing their own poetry using Spike Milligan for inspiration. Next week they will begin their new topic of Minibeasts using an exciting book as the basis for their learning. In Maths they are busy exploring capacity and mass in practical ways.

In computing lessons, they have started to plan their own stop motion animations which have been a lot of fun. In Art, they have created their own colour wheels by mixing colours.

In English, the children have been writing a recount of their fantastic Greek Day. In DT children have been painting their Greek vases. The new science topic ‘Electricity’ is proving to be a favourite and children have been building circuits.
