What Have Nursery Been Learning About This Week?
This week in Topic Nursery have been learning all about firefighters. We have been reading lots of stories and talking about what they wear and what jobs they do. The children have loved discussing what they know and dressing up pretending to be firefighters! In maths we have been reading the story Rosie’s Walk. We talked about the route Rosie took on her walk and drew a map to show it. Some of the children even had a go at drawing their own map to show their journey to school! We have been loving the warmer weather in Nursery and have had lots of fun playing in the water outside, please remember to send your child to Nursery with a sun hat that they can wear when we go outside.
What Have Year 1 Been Learning About This Week?
This week Year 1 have been learning about Fable’s in English. We tested out the moral in The Hare and Tortoise ‘slow and steady wins the race’ with some fun water races. In Maths this week we have moved on to time, the children have been looking at dates as well as clocks and time to the hour.
In Science we have begun to look at classifying different types of animals. This led on from the animal and insect hunt that we did around the school last week.
What Have Year 3 Been Learning About This Week?
- In maths this week, year 3 have begun learning about angles, the children have been super stars at recognising right angles, obtuse and acute angles, they have been looking all around the classroom for them. In writing we have been working on fables, so far, we have looked at The Mouse and The Lion. The moral is that kindness is a strength that everyone can own, so we have had fun practicing our kindness!
- In science we have enjoyed playing with torches to discover that light travels in a straight line. In history, we have travelled back in time to Egypt and learnt about who the Ancient Egyptians were. In DT we are looking at making a car, so this week we have deconstructed a toy car to see how they work.
- King-Smith class had an amazing time horse riding, and Benjamin class are very much looking forward to it!
What Have Year 5 Been Learning About This Week?
On Wednesday afternoon, year five had another very exciting and interesting Stem science workshop based on gravity. The children were asked to create and test three different models, for example one being slightly heavier, then measure their response when dropped. The classes discovered that design and weight does impact how each design fell to the ground. We have also started Sports Day practice in preparation for the big end of year event. Although the weather has been very warm everyone put in such an amazing effort.
