Year 6 Explore Earth

Year 6 have certainly had a sensational start tot he new term with lots of 'sticky' learning taking place. On Tuesday 8th January we immersed ourselves into our new text 'Brightstorm' by Vashti Hardy. Our activities included folding our own sky-ships from origami, making our own compasses out of corks,needles and magnets, using co-ordinates to find our way around the 'The Great Wide' and creating some lovely pieces of sky-ship art.

On Wednesday 9th we have been on a whistle stop tour of Earth's natural phenomenons; earthquakes, tsunamis,volcanoes and hurricanes! The children created their own models of tsunamis and volcanoes, built and tested earthquake proof building and recorded live news reports during hurricane winds! A fantastic couple of days in school which have got the children ready for the some great learning this term.

Year 3 Rotten Romans

Year 3 had a sensational start to their new theme on Wednesday 9^th January.  The children had a visit from a Roman soldier and were put through their paces as trainee gladiators!  It was great fun dressing up as citizens of Rome and finding out about what life was like in Roman times – putting on a toga certainly isn’t as easy as it looks and not many of us would recommend being a slave! We can’t wait to find out more about the ‘Rotten Romans’ this term!

Year 5 USA Road Trip

          In Year 5 this term, our topic is America – A USA Road Trip.  To get our road trip off to a roaring start on January 8th, we all dressed up in the colours of the American flag.  During the morning, the children became well acquainted with key facts about the USA, sang the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ as children across America do each day and, most importantly, enjoyed an all-American breakfast.  In the afternoon, they all joined in American football and created their own artistic version of the American flag.

          What a sensational start to a sensational topic!
