As part of this years theme of growth for British science week Diamond Class have been busy planting our own beans. We are going to observe them over the next few weeks looking out for magic beanstalks to take us to the giants castle!
This term Ruby Class have been learning to write a tale of fear story. As part of this topic we have been learning how to use speech marks in our writing!
I have been blown away with how well the children picked up this skill and can’t wait to see them use them in their final writing piece. 🥰
Ruby Class spent their SPaG lesson learning all about verbs!
The children learnt that verbs are action words. They then matched the picture to the correct verb and identified verbs in a range of sentences.
Check out Ruby Class in action below! 🥰
Today, Onyx class had a go at creating their own ‘classroom’ mountain environments. They tried to use all of their key vocabulary such as summit, slopes, valleys, faces, peaks, ridges.
They also learnt that Mount Everest isn’t the biggest mountain on Earth! Mauna Kea is in fact taller as it’s base is underwater! 😱🤯
Which big art do you think represents our beautiful mountainous regions the best?!
Ruby Class worked hard to develop their understanding of the Royal Family and it’s key members. They used all of their learning to create a family tree.
Check out their wonderful work below. 🥰
Ruby Class have been learning all about finding a third today! We used cubes to help us decided which of the representations showed 1/3 and which ones didn’t! 🥰
Today Ruby Class joined in with a live lesson run by the NFU! We enjoyed listening to a talk by Deb who explained how chickens develop.
Ruby Class showed off their excellent understanding of a chickens life cycle! We remembered so much of our learning from the Autumn term!
We then learnt how to care for chickens and what an incubator is and how it works. We loved seeing a chicken hatch inside an incubator!!
Deb then gave us the challenge of designing incubators. Check out our creative designs below!
Wow what a tournament! The Year 5/6 Netball team played utterly brilliantly this afternoon at the Crewe and Nantwich tournament. They fought hard, worked together beautifully and did themselves proud! 3 wins and 2 losses doesn’t do them justice. We are VERY proud of you all! Well done! 🤩💪🥳
Today in Opal class we had the change to practice our tie dying techniques.
We used baby wipes, felt tips and water colour paints to practice 2 different tie dying techniques. Stripes and swirls.
We were all very impressed with the results and cannot wait to try this on something even bigger
Today Diamond class finally got to hold the stick insects if we wanted to! We have been waiting for them to become adults so that they’re less breakable and they’re finally ready!
We talked about why they have red legs, what they eat and drink and how we look after them! The children had the chance to hold them if they wanted and lots were a little nervous but tried anyway!
