British Science Week – open lessons with parents

It was wonderful to have our parents join us for our science lesson during British Science Week.

We looked at micro plastic pollution and which materials were best at filtering out microplastics and how we can adapt our behaviours to try and solve the problem.

Volcanoes

This week in Geography we have been looking at volcanos and earthquakes. We worked in groups to create a double paged spread on volcanos. We also learnt the MC Grammar song:

Anti Bullying Week 2024

Anti-Bullying Week 2024: Choose RespectResources for Anti-Bullying Week 2023 - Ineqe Safeguarding Group

For Anti-Bullying Week, our class watched a powerful video that helped us understand how it feels to be bullied. The video showed the emotional impact bullying can have on someone, and it really made us think about how important it is to treat others with kindness and respect. We talked about the different ways bullying can happen—whether it’s physical, verbal, or even online—and how it can make someone feel isolated, sad, and hurt.

After the video, we had an open discussion about what we can do to help someone who might be experiencing bullying. We agreed that standing up for others, speaking out against bullying, and offering support can make a big difference. We ended the week by celebrating the positive qualities of our friends. We shared compliments, highlighted each other’s strengths, and reminded ourselves how important it is to create a kind and inclusive environment for everyone. It was a great way to wrap up the week, focusing on friendship, empathy, and making our school a safer, happier place for all.

LKS2 Art in the style of Romare Bearden for Black History Month

In LKS2 this week we have been learning about influential people during the civil rights movement. We looked at the art work of Romare Bearden and made mixed media monochromatic collages in a similar style.

We have learnt so much about the struggles of people, and the positive impact that people have when they stand together and unite. We read Benjamin Zephaniah’s poem ‘People need people’ and reflected on the heart warming message that he was spreading.

Stone Age Experience Day

Today we had an absolutely fantastic experience learning about the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age. During our sessions Sue taught us: how to use saddle and rotary querns to make flour and butter, use bow and pump drills, make shelters, and wattle a miniature wall.

Kat then showed us the timeline of prehistory, using stratigraphy and artefacts. We handled raw materials and authentic and replica artefacts. Then explored prehistoric sites and features, such as Stone Henge and Woolly Mammoths
using the VR headsets.

We then tried carding, spinning and weaving. We also handled a variety of raw materials for making clothes.

What a busy day!

National Coding Week – Year 3/4

This week is Coding Week, and in Year 3 and 4, we have been exploring what coding is all about! We started by learning the basics of coding, understanding that it’s all about giving a set of clear instructions to achieve a specific outcome. To bring this concept to life, we engaged in some physical coding activities where we followed a series of commands to create different shapes with our bodies. By acting out these instructions, we experienced first-hand how coding works, making the learning fun and interactive while helping us grasp the importance of precise and accurate coding.
