Willow Class: Bird Classification Stars!
This week, Willow Class became "Bird Detectives" as we dived into Lower Key Stage 2 Science. We’ve been learning how to group living things by looking at their unique features.
What We Learnt:
• Bird Basics: We identified that while all birds have feathers and lay eggs, they can look…
CAD - Greenpower
Oak Class had a blast tinkering using CAD in DT this week! We used computer aided design to build our own 3D steering wheels in preparation for our Greenpower project portfolio!
Romeo and Juliet Ballet
Oak and Willow worked in small groups to create a short ballet performance for the last scene of Romeo and Juliet!
Grouping Living Things: Vertebrates and Invertebrates
In our first science lesson, Willow sorted animals into groups based on shared characteristics. They identified B-road groups of animals including vertebrates and invertebrates recording their data in a Carroll and Venn diagram.
Electrical circuit components
Oak Class started their unit of work about electricity by learning about and correcting matching the symbols used to the correct electrical circuit component. We revisited prior learning and discussed the difference between a good electrical conductor and a good electrical insulator. The…
DT - scale models
As part of the Greenpower Goblin project we are participating in with the academy, Oak Class measured the chassis of the car in order to create their own scale models in groups. The children decorated their models in line with our chosen theme and evaluated their work using our ‘talk like a…
Making biscuits
Pig the Pug watched us completed our final task for “Travelling Tales.” We decorated some special Pug biscuits ready for Ralph’s visit later this week!
DT Paper sculptures
This week in Design Technology we created sculptures using paper! We tried out techniques for rolling, folding and fastening the paper to the base.
Egyptian Artefacts!
Willow loved looking through some real life Egyptian Artefacts!
Shape poems
In English we have been creating shape poems! We looked at lots of examples together and discussed the structure. Then we chose our favourite fruits and created vocabulary lists to describe them.
Egyptian Day!
Willow had an amazing time at St Andrews this week for our Egyptian themed day! They took part in a variety of activities including crafting their own cartouche, making their own clay amulet, painting masks of eternity and mummy wrapping fun!
Developing Role Play
This week we have enjoyed playing in the house role play as we have been gifted some new baby dolls. We are so pleased with our new babies and accessories. We have enjoyed dressing and pushing the prams with our babies in.
