6CC have begun their week with some Star Wars coding after an extremely hot weekend. All enjoyed taking control of BB-8 using code to dictate his movements and avoid the evil Sith hunters. More to follow on this coding adventure!
On Wednesday 7th July, a team of Y5/6 children made the trip to Askern CC for the final sporting competition of the year. Our terrific team performed well and ultimately progressed to a second place playoff where they secured silver. Top job team!🏏
How amazing are our completed pop art pictures in the style of Andy Warhol. We all think they are extremely striking, we hope you agree!! Awesome effort as always from our fabulous year 3 team!
This week, year 3 have been studying pop art by inspirational artist Andy Warhol. We completed a gallery walk, making praises and wonders about some of his most iconic pieces. As you can see, we also had a go at creating our very own pop art pictures using sweets and sugar as inspiration. Check out the vibrant colours and the attention to detail. Great job 3HJ!
A brave team of year three and four children ventured to Askern Cricket Club yesterday for a Campsmount cricket competition. Competing against three other local schools, the children all performed magnificently, demonstrating good tactical awareness and skill. Most of all, their sportsmanship and respect for their team members and the opposition must be celebrated as they recognised the sterling efforts of their competitors during their innings. Well done, team! 👍
This week, in preparation for creating our own sweet treat, 4TE became connoisseurs, reviews and critics of exisiting sweet products to see what qualities of different products we liked, and maybe didn’t like, to influence our own future creations! It was a lovely break in the midst of test week where everybody focussed and applied themselves to their best abilities! In the same week, we took part in a number of TTRockstar Rock Battles where against strong opposition, we triumphed against the might of Year 6 alongside our fellow Year 4 class, 4GC. What a super week we have had!
Excitement and enthusiasm are just two of the words you would use to describe our Maths lesson today as 6CC set to work planning their very own theme parks!
Each pair began their work by budgeting and discussing which attractions and amenities should be included in their theme parks. Plenty sensible kept much of their £4 million budget which came in handy after they had overlooked one major aspect of their park: pavements! 😱 Despite the slight planning flaw, the groups proceeded to design the floor plan for their theme parks. WeOur crew can’t wait to present their finished parks and to create branding advertising their creations!
6CC began the in a creative manner, designing their own shapes to then create a repeating pattern or ‘tessellation’, inspired by the work of M. Escher – a famous dutch artist and mathematician. Over the course of the next four days, our crew will be completing their design and then combining them to create a giant tessellation consisting of uniquely different patterns!
Last week, 3HJ enjoyed spending the afternoon testing a range of different kind of sweets as part of our market research to decide which sweets were popular and which weren’t a hit. Haribo Tangfastics seems to get the seal of approval based on qualities such as appearance, taste and texture. Surprisingly, my favourite – jelly babies – came out quite low!
6Cc enjoyed developing their batting skills in this week’s PE lesson. Our crew focused on mastering the basics of batting (hand and foot positioning) before learning about two particular shot types: a froward drive and a square drive. The activities were made all the more pleasant by the glorious summer weather; we finished off with two separate games of quick cricket, allowing them to put their batting skills to the test in a game situation. Top notch! 👌🏼
