Technical Problems

Unfortunately, we are experiencing some technical difficulties with our phone lines and internet connection. This means we will not be able to answer the phones or pick up any voicemails so if we could ask that you report any absences via email on [email protected] or message Mrs Bradshaw on Class Dojo. Please do not inform teachers directly as these may not be picked up.

Our technicians are working hard to resolve this issue and we are hopeful a solution can be reached tomorrow. We will keep you updated.

Thank you

Super Sketching!

to culminate our spring expedition, ‘FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHTS’, year five have been busy working away on their sketches of iconic figures who have helped change the world. Following a sequence of learning about how to use of tone to create a 3D effect and learning how to accurately sketch features of the face, 5CC began to draft their sketches with the class being given a choice of three: Martin Luther King, Bob Geldof and Lord Shaftesbury. We are looking forward to seeing what their final drafts look like and how they will feature in our final product, the iconic figures calendar.

Fabulous Flatbread!

As the end of term draws ever closer, we have being finishing up our final Case Study as per our current expedition: What makes us Human? Here, we delved into the world of diet and nutrition and in particular asked the question: what is a balanced diet? As part of our learning, we designed a snack including the requisite amount of carbohydrates, protein, fats, fruit and vegetables etc… and the result was a delicious treat that was consumed by our fabulous foodies (the pupils…..and Miss Oliver).

We are scientists!

This week Year 3 have celebrated British Science Week by taking part in a range of scientific investigations. One particular experiment was called Magic Milk, and is an easy one to try at home! All you need is milk, food colouring, and washing up liquid. The children learnt how the microbes in the washing up liquid attracted the fat and the protein from the milk, but that it also made amazing colour explosions because of the food dye!
