Our Splendid Space Buggies

Date: 25th Nov 2020 @ 3:23pm

In Design Technology the children have made Space Buggies. They started by exploring and disassembling vehicles and labelling each part. Next they designed their own space buggy, wrote an equipment list and a method. Then they collected all their resources and began the construction process in pairs to bring their buggies to life. Finally they evaluated their work and thought about what had worked well and what they would improve next time. 

We are so proud of ALL of the children and the fabulous work they have produced! Below are a few pictures of the process, our class display and our final products.

One Snowy Night in Class 4.

Date: 23rd Nov 2020 @ 8:00am

Class 4 this week, we have been read the Percy the Part keeper story ‘One Snowy Night’

The children were glued to the book as the animals came knocking on Percy’s door, asking for a warm place to stay for the night.

We giggled when Percy and the animals all fell out of bed and shivered with fright when something came crawling out of the floorboards! Don’t worry, it was just a friendly mole.

 

Class 4 had a great time acting out the story and pretending to be the different animals that came looking for a bed.

Class 8's amazing Topic work on Stone Age weapons

Date: 20th Nov 2020 @ 4:42pm

Class 8 have loved learning about Stone Age weapons. The children found out what they used to make the weapons and the different weapons for the different jobs. They worked in teams of 2 to make their own spear, then acted out being hunter gathers like in the Stone Age times. The children really took on the role as you can see from the photographs. Super stars!

Also this week Class 8 listened to Mr Padley's assembly on Anti-bullying. Then we had a PSHE lesson where we talked about the different kinds of bullying and what they should do if they were being bullied or ever saw someone else being bullied. Class 8 then made a poster with the message to everyone young and old. Let's stand together and be United Against Bullying.  

Another fabulous week Class 8 with your work in school and at home. Well done!
