Staying Healthy!
This week we have been discussing what makes a healthy lifestyle. We are aware there are some substances that can be really harmful to the body but were shocked to learn some of the effects they can have. We made posters to explain these effects and also created adverts to educate others and…
United Against Bullying!
We loved seeing everyone wearing their odd socks on Monday to celebrate the fact that everyone is different! We watched an assembly and had a really good discussion about what bullying is and how we can stamp it out! We all decided that everyone can play a part - our jigsaw pieces say it all! They…
FREEZE!
We are really enjoying our book 'Pig Heart Boy'. This week we dug deeper into how the characters would be feeling and we even became the characters ourselves! Whilst in character, we wrote e-mails to our family to share our thoughts and feelings and we also acted out a scene from the book in small…
Doctor in the House!
This week we were lucky enough to have a virtual visitor to our classroom - Dr Austin (Finlay's dad). He told us all about his job as a cardiologist and we got to ask him questions too. THANK YOU so much for giving up your time to talk to us - it was fascinating! Thank you for everything you do…
Interesting Investigations
This week we continue our book, Pig Heart Boy, and write a balanced argument about human's receiving hearts from pigs to save their lives. The children came up with many pros and cons and were sensitive to the thoughts of others.
We were really creative and made some abstract artwork to…
Children in Need!
Thank you for all your donations to Children in Need today. It was great to see so many Pudseys around the classroom. We started the day by supporting Joe Wickes with his 24 hour challenge and joined in for the final 10 minutes of it. Some children were a little out of breath, they couldn't…
TTRS Battle #2!
What a week! I'm exhausted just watching all the scores roll in. It was very tight between Mrs Charlton's and Mrs Kearns' classes, with the Y3/4 class only just pipping them to the post. Mr Moore's class didn't really turn up to this tournament, scoring fewer than 3000 points, compared to the…
Blood Glorious Blood!
What an exciting week we have had. We have made graphic organisers about the heart and the circulatory system, dissected a pig's heart (yes, you heard right) and made some (fake) blood! All while starting our new book Pig Heart Boy and impressing the teacher with some fantastic addition and…
TTRS Battle #2!
It's that time again, folks! The latest round of TTRS Battles! We go live at 3:20pm on Thursday 5th November until the following Thursday at 12pm.
We have some real clash of the Titan battles, including Miss Hamar's class vs Mrs Meadows' class - the two highest scoring classes of the last…
Culture Week - Judaism
This week we have learned about Passover and created information fact files about the festival. We have looked at Jewish symbols and made exploding books about them. We also created these symbols in bright colours using our printing skills. We made Matzah bread and we thought it tasted really…
A Child's War Topic
I can't believe our first topic in Y5/6 has come to an end - time is flying! I have been impressed with the children's previous knowledge and also their thirst for learning more! They have worked together this week to plan a street party to celebrate the end of WW2 - I have witnessed some…
Artists and Bakers in the Making!
What a fantastic week we have had for producing some amazing work - our classroom is looking great! We completed our Blitz art and also managed to follow a WW2 recipe to make some biscuits. They tasted very 'oaty' the children said and although they much preferred today's treats, they were…
