  Dance Show

  Posted by Ms Jones Jonzon

  As our term of dance was coming to an end, we got the opportunity to showcase what we had learned over the half term to Year 6. We totally smashed our performance to 'Better Place' from Trolls. I was super proud of everyone as it can be quite nerve racking to perform in front of others, but they all did such a brilliant job! Keeeeep dancing!

  Exploring Magnetic Poles

  Posted by Ms Jones Jonzon

  Today in Science we explored with magnets. We had the opportunity to see if a magnet worked through card (yes!), we investigated why certain ends of magnets are attracted to each other and why others repel and we very much enjoyed making creations using magnetic tiles.

  Reading our Stories

  Posted by Ms Jones Jonzon

  We enjoyed listening to each other's stories about Boudicca vs. the Romans. We have been working very hard on using correct punctuation for speech as well as adding in adverbials of manner to make our writing more detailed and interesting.

  Library visit

  Posted by Ms Jones Jonzon

  Today we were lucky enough to get to visit the new Community Library. The children enjoyed exploring the range of books, completing activities they had set out for them and we also spent time enjoying a story all together. What a lovely way to spend a rainy afternoon!

  PE - gymnastics

  Posted by Ms Jones Jonzon

  We have been doing a gymnastics unit this half term. This week we took all we have learned about landing safely and tried it out on (and off) the apparatus! We have been discussing our 'motorcycle landings', where we try not to make noise (landing through our feet), bend our knees and land with arms out.

  Fencing Taster Day

  Posted by Ms Jones Jonzon

  We really enjoyed learning about and having a go at fencing. We learned about a 'scoring' vest, where you score points by landing touches with the foil. We put together sequences as we lunged toward our opponents!

  Making Roman Shields

  Posted by Ms Jones Jonzon

  We had so much fun making our Roman shields today! We started by painting the shield red, then the children mapped out their designs and then put the finishing touches on. They turned out so well and thanks so much for providing the cardboard! The children are very excited to try out some Roman battle formations with their spiffy shields!

  Author Visit

  Posted by Ms Jones Jonzon

  We were so lucky to have a visit from author B. Ware today. We had an assembly where she read us an excerpt from one of her books. She also led a writing workshop in the hall. It was so inspiring to meet a real author and get to ask her any questions!

  Wonderdome

  Posted by Ms Jones Jonzon

  We were lucky enough to have a visit to the Wonderdome today! It is a planetarium and we learned lots about space. The children asked great questions too, such as 'do stars rotate'? The answer was yes! We also enjoyed looking at one of Saturn's moons that looks like the Death Star from Star Wars.

  Measuring pull

  Posted by Ms Jones Jonzon

  Today in Science, we conducted experiments to measure how much force was required to pull an object. In small groups, the children used force meters to predict and measure how much force would be required to pull their object across the table, on the carpet and on a sticky, rubber mat. They also tested out the force required on other surfaces that they thought of. We found that the surface with the highest friction was the rubber mat and the least was the table or hard floor.
