Celebrating Independence Day for Road Trip USA in LKS2

We have been celebrating Independence Day in LKS2 this morning as part of our ‘Road Trip USA’ topic. We enjoyed learning about New York and planned a sight seeing tour around Manhattan using our compass directions. We learnt more about why Independence Day is a National holiday in USA and enjoyed singing ‘This land is your land’.

Science in LKS2

In LKS2 in science we identified and classified mains and battery powered devices. We learnt how electricity gets to our homes and school. We then became fire health and safety officers and gave advice to our school community on how to stay safe.

 

RAF Shawbury STEM Day

Year 3 and 4 had the pleasure of attending RAF Shawbury for a wonderful STEM day, the children were all engaged and came away full of knowledge. They worked collaboratively to build a wheel barrow to transport a cup of water safely, they got to experience flying with VR headsets, built their own gliders and tested rockets. Thank you RAF Shawbury for the amazing experience.

LKS2 Weekly News

This week the children in Years 3 & 4 haven’t stopped. We have started our assessment week off with a bang and all children have worked incredibly hard to show what they can remember from all their learning. They have tried their hardest and persevered. Well done!

We created our river creatures in DT (thank you for providing the box) and we will be adding our pneumatic system in this week. We can’t wait to show you the final product.

We also started to learn our Easter play – The Three Trees. We hope you can come and watch our performance on Thursday 14th March. Could all children please bring into school black bottoms (trousers, leggings, joggers) and a black t-shirt. If these could be brought into school before Tuesday 12th March that would be much appreciated.

We are looking forward to welcoming you into our classrooms on Tuesday to share our learning with you.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Miss Wade, Mrs Cartwright, Miss Jones and Miss Hodson
