Iron Man - DT, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 16th Mar 2017 @ 6:33pm
Many of our Iron Men have been completed. The children have worked extremely hard to design and create these with very little input from myself. They have had to try things out, overcome difficulties through problem solving and there has been lots of collaborative working through supporting each other. They have developed a variety of skills through this unit of work. I am very proud of their final moving models as I'm sure you will be.
Swimming - Water Safety, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 16th Mar 2017 @ 6:28pm
Over the past few weeks we have been learning a variety of life saving skills during our swimming lessons. We have swum several lengths of the pool wearing our shorts and T. shirts, practised a reaching rescue and learnt the help position. The Sharks had their assessment today and the fishes will have theirs next week. All children will still require their clothes next week please.

Vitruvian man , by Miss Leigh
Date: 13th Mar 2017 @ 3:03pm
With our topic being inventions and inventors we have started looking at famous inventors. In Science, we have looked at the work of Leonardo da Vinci, and have explored his work on the vitruvian man. We measured our height and then tested his ideas against ourselves. Most of the time we found he was correct, however, occasionally they didn't work. We discussed why this might be and think it is because we are still growing and not an adult yet.

DT - Linkages and Levers, by Mrs Catterall
Date: 11th Mar 2017 @ 6:50pm
The children have been working extremely hard this half term following a series of instructions to create 4 different moving mechanisms. Each mechanism uses levers and linkages in different formations to create a particular output. We have displayed these on a design board. The children are now using this knowledge to design and create a moving Iron Man. Work is in progress and we hope to have some completed moving iron men to show you next week.

Outdoor springtime fun, by Mrs Hothersall
Date: 8th Mar 2017 @ 5:50pm
The weather has been fab this week and so down in reception the Meerkats have been exploring outdoors. They really enjoy the water area so we are trying to make it even more fun. The mosaic bench is coming along, it's very time consuming but it will be worth it. Also we've been whittling more wood for our messy maths area to make simple 2d shapes....

Brilliant Bongos, by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 5th Mar 2017 @ 9:49am
The Bongos have had a tough week ! They were asked to trial some Year 2 tests and they have worked so hard, with smiles on their faces and great determination to complete them all. I am very proud of them. They have also learnt about the continent of Asia and in particular the country of China. In English we have been continuing to learn about clauses to add detail to our writing and most of the children have had a go at including clauses within sentences in their own dragon themed stories. The projects that came into school earlier in the week look great and I am looking forward to seeing the ones that came in at the end of the week when I was out of class tomorrow.
London 2017, by Mrs Fletcher
Date: 4th Mar 2017 @ 1:02pm
Carla, Keira, Gracie , Sara and Molly went to London with 51 other children from local primary schools. The purpose of the visit was for members of school parliaments to visit the Palace of Westminster to find out more about how parliament works. The girls had a great time seeing the sights of London including Downing Street and Buckingham Palace. On our tour of Westminster the girls went into the queens robing room, the House of Lords and the House of Commons. They also took part in a workshop called Ypur Voice. They will be sharing more of their day in an assembly .
