Year 4 enjoyed taking part in Red Nose Day. We showed our support for the charity Comic Relief by wearing something Red and making a donation. We also used our research skills to find out facts about how the event started and the people it supports.
This week children have taken part in the 2025 Red Nose Day. Children were asked to wear something red for a £1 donation to Comic Relief. Well done to everyone who took part and raised a fabulous amount for charity.
Children in Y3 used this time to explore the history of Red Nose Day by scripting and performing their own Newsround reports on the history and purpose of Comic Relief.
Year 2 showed amazing maths skills when sorting 2D shapes this week.
To extend our understanding of animation, Year 5 explored how stop-motion animations are made, specifically the work of Aardman studios and their films “ Wallace and Grommit”/“Chicken run”.
The class worked to plan a series of still images which, when put together, would create a fluid animation using modelling clay.
Have a look at our attempts!
Today the children enjoyed a visit to the Word. As we are thinking about food waste at school , the books that Angela read were all about food. We even did a craft activity about food. We enjoyed it very much!
Alongside British Science Week, the whole school took part in Step into the NHS Day. We were introduced to some of the 350 different jobs that you can have within the NHS. We also had the opportunity to meet real life NHS workers and even dress and act as our favourite job role.
As part of our journey in creating a pop-up book suitable for Year One to read in the future, Year Five have spent this afternoon planning each page of their final piece, in addition to how a mechanism or structure could be implemented into it. They were challenged to use levers, sliders and automatic pull strips to bring their books to life! Watch this space for the final product!
This week, children took part in national NHS Day. They have been learning about all of the different types of jobs available in the NHS.
Children discussed a range of jobs available in their community and in hospitals before designing a poster to share information and celebrate the job or jobs they had chosen.
In Year 2 we loved learning about all of the amazing staff who make up the NHS. We discussed how fortunate we are to have this amazing service to look after us all.
We have been learning about magnetic coins. We sorted our coins into magnetic copper, non-magnetic copper, magnetic silver, non-magnetic silver. We found out old copper and silver coins were not magnetic.
