Topic review
Thank you to all the parents and carers who came to our topic review session this afternoon. The children were proud to show off their topic and science books, sharing all the learning they have been doing this half term. They took part in our Topic Review quiz which was great fun. Have a go at home with your child to see how much they can remember.
School Council Film Night
What a fabulous film night we had yesterday!
With your support, we raised over £500 for the Dog’s Trust.
The film last night was so good!
I liked eating the popcorn.
It was great because I got to sit with my friends.
I hope it becomes a regular event.
Living and learning – I know what a drug is
All classes had interesting discussions today about drugs and medicines. Below are some of the things they said.
A doctor tells you how much medicine to take.
You should never take any one else’s medicine.
Some drugs are illegal and you can go to prison if you have them.
Alcohol and cigarette are drugs.
Gymnastics
The children are continuing to enjoy their gymnastics-based PE lessons. Today we focused on balancing and stretching.
Golden star
Well done to our most recent Golden Star.
Computing topic – creating algorithms
We have been thoroughly enjoying our computing topic this half term. We have been learning about algorithms and codes. They need to be clear and precise – this can take a bit of work! We created games for the Blue-Bots and then had to program them with algorithms to make them travel around.
Science : observing changes in weather (temperature).
Our Science learning this half term is all about observing seasonal changes and changes in weather. We put a thermometer outside and the children have been keeping a keen eye on changes throughout the week. We recorded the temperature in our Science books and had some interesting discussions about why the temperature went up or down. Help your child at home by talking about the weather forecast, changes in temperature and sunrise /sunset times.
Living and Learning : I know how to make things better
There was some fantastic homework this week showing how we can make things better. In our homework review sessions,we had the chance to look at each other’s homework and talk about what we liked and why.
Computing : using the Blue-Bot floor robots
The new floor robots, Blue-Bots, have been put to good use the last couple of weeks. We have been learning how algortihms and codes work to make the Blue-Bots go where we want them to. We have found out you have to be very precise otherwise things don’t work out how you want!
