  Music - Take us to the bridge

  Posted by Mr N Kavanagh

  We listened to and appraised the pop song "Hands, Feet, Heart" and had a great discussion about how music tastes are different and that it is ok to like something if someone else doesn't. We then looked at the composition of songs and how verses, choruses and bridges are used.

  History - Enquiry questions

  Posted by Mr N Kavanagh

  After Boot Camp, we worked in small groups and then individually to think about questions we would like to find the answer to. We discussed what the word enquiry means and how we could find the answers to such questions as, "Why did World War I happen?", "What did they use pigeons for?" and "What weapons did they use in the air?"

  Computing - Programming Quizzes

  Posted by Mr N Kavanagh

  Today we had to change a given design by choosing characters and backgrounds for our animation. We then had to create a program based on our new design. We had to base our design around the question "Who Lives Here?" and add different characters and backgrounds accordingly.

  Our focus today was to be able to dip our heads underwater. We played lots of games to build our confidence and we even got to blow some bubbles underwater. We then recapped how to use floats to glide across the pool.

  Computing - Programming

  Posted by Mr N Kavanagh

  Today we had to create a program using a given design. The children had to work out the actions of a sprite in an algorithm and decide which blocks to use to meet the design. They had great fun using the tap to start function and creating speech bubbles.

  PE - Swimming

  Posted by Mr N Kavanagh

  We have been using flotation aids today to help with our water confidence. We kept our shoulders submerged with our eyes looking at the floor of the pool. Then we let our feet and long legs float to the surface keeping our arms by our ears.
