This week, 3TE have been developing their division skills with a variety of challenges, including this particular activity where the children were traversing around the room solving a variety of problems using a newly discovered method. The children have since expanded this knowledge even further with addtional methods and even harder problems. Keep up making those division discoveries!
This week, Year 3 were given a secret mission… Treasure had been stolen and hidden somewhere in school! The Year 3 children were tasked to use their multiplication skills in order to solve a range of questions, crack a code and figure out where the treasure was hidden! These super sleuths were courageous, resilient and showed great endevour to find the treasure. Well done all of your delightful detectives!
Today, the children in Year 3 had a chocotastic time creating their own chocolate lollies! They also learnt all about the history of chocolate, heard about some different chocolate flavours and decorated their own lovely creations!
Today in 3TE, the children have been engaging with mathematics and art simultaneously by creating some beautiful reflective artwork. As you can see, they have indeed achieved some lovely creations!
Our amazing children made waves at the Legacy swimming gala yesterday showing incredible skill, teamwork and sportsmanship. We are all so proud of their dedication and the fantastic medals they brought home – true champions in and out of the pool!
Despite last-minute dropouts leaving us with only 7 players instead of the usual 9, our team showed incredible determination and teamwork. They topped the group stage with an impressive 16 points — ahead of Carcroft, who finished 2nd, along with 3rd and 4th place teams all tied on 12 points.
The final was a tense match, with Carcroft threatening to steal the victory thanks to some powerful hits. But our resilient players held their nerve, securing a fantastic win. In a tense trophy reveal, XP trust comrades, Carcroft, were given the runners up medals whilst our amazing Y3/4 team secured the gold. Well done to everyone involved — you did the school proud!
This week, Year 4 have been undertaking many scientific endeavours, some of which are pictured below. Firstly, we have been making circuits and experimenting with different items, seeing which may be conductors and insulators. We have also had scientific engineering challenges such as could the children create a bridge using only ArtStraws/Lollipop Sticks and could the children create a parachute and protective shell to protect an egg cracking from a height. Finally, the children have also ran a science fayre which children from the Infants school took part in. The best part of this specific event, was seeing how brilliantly the Year 4 children interacted with the younger children and how they were so kind and helpful towards them!
Last Friday, 4TE celebrated a tremendous World Book Day by exploring everything to do with Alice in Wonderland! This included a fabulous tea party and some absolutely fantastic costumes, which can also be seen. Everybody had a lovely time and enjoyed celebrating everything surrounding books!
Today, 4TE were tasked to use their division skills within maths to solve a great crime! Through using great perserverence, teamwork and resilience, this bunch of budding detectives and mathematicians managed to crack the case! Great work, team!
Yesterday, I had the privilege of taking a team of swimmers to a Legacy Sport competition at Askern Leisure Centre. Our children were amazing, bringing home a range of gold, silver and bronze medals in breast stroke, front crawl and back stroke. The team spirt and support for each other was what makes our children so special. A huge well done to all involved!
