Today, 4TE were given a very special assignment… Using their recently aquired proficiency of grid method multiplication, the children had to solve a series of questions in order to uncover a codeword which led to a stash of ‘gold’ hidden somewhere in the school! The children showed brilliant resilience and teamwork to perservere with the challenge and as can be seen, to eventually find the gold!

Today, 4TE were able to observe digestion up close and personal by taking part in an experiement which showed them all of the stages of the digestion process! Needless to say, nobody wanted to have any snacks afterwards!
Today’s maths saw me set a series of confounding challenges for the pupils of 4GC. However, not to be deterred, the students once again showed great resilience and perseverance to solve these problems. 4GC rocks!
So impressed with the attitude, creativity and physical ability of these incredible year 6 children. This half term we have been working hard on body movements and control and today they have created some really impressive routines and performed them to their peers. The courage to throw themselves in to gymnastics, challenge themselves, perform outside of their comfort zone all with a smile on their faces is so impressive.
Over the past few weeks, 5HJ have worked hard to develop reading fluency and prosody. This week, we have learnt about the differences between the suffragists and suffragettes, completing ‘reading gym’ sessions where the children read quietly to themselves for a given length of time. This has really helped develop our stamina for reading.
This week 3EG have investigated how the digestion system works by taking part in the tight experiment! The children used a sandwich bag to resemble the stomach, and filled it with biscuits, banana, water and orange juice. They then squashed and squeezed the bag to break the food down, as it would be in the stomach. The mixture was then put through a tight leg to resemble the intestine. The experiment bought science to life for the children, and was incredibly messy!
In music this half term we are learning the rhythm of Salsa music! We are practising using dance moves to understand the rhythm and body percussion to get the beat. Well done to 3SG for getting stuck in and working on their moves!!
We have been working in pairs to write a fun and creative informal text about the skeletal system. Using Models of Excellence (that include lots of humor and imagination), pupils transformed a basic scientific topic into an engaging, lighthearted text, making learning both entertaining and informative. This will be presented to reception children at the end of the term!
