This week 6EG have been working hard on some tricky fraction problems so to consolidate their learning (and have some fun) they’ve played a different version of Monopoly focusing on fractions.
Fractionopoly!
3LG Royal Ballet Workshop
This week we had some very special visitors in Y3. We were joined again by Bim and Miss Wendy, as well as a professional pianist and other members of the Chance to Dance team. The workshop allowed the children to demonstrate how hard they have worked in dance over the last term.
The Royal Ballet visitors were blown away by the attitudes of the children, and highly praised how kind, caring and helpful they were towards each other. Well done 3LG!
Circuit Champions
This expedition, years 3 and 4 have been learning all about circuits and today, it was the turn of 4TE to get their hands well into building their own circuits! As you can see, it looks like they’ve got the hang of it and were wired in!
Visitors from The Royal Ballett
This week saw the end of our weekly ballet lessons with a visit from dancers from The Royal Ballet. The children took part in a selection workshop demonstrating different types of ballet. Both visitors and school staff were extremely proud of the behaviour and effort from all children. We will find out soon which children have been selected and who will carry on with their ballet journey. Huge well done guys!
Y3 Build Circuits
This week we have officially kicked off Case Study 1 of our new expedition The Power of Life. We will be learning all about electricity and circuits so it would be rude not to build some of our own. Yesterday we challenged the children to assemble the circuit and switch the light bulb on. We think they did a pretty great job!

Positive energy in 4GC
A happy new year to you all! This week we have welcomed back our awesome pupils and hooked ourselves into our new expedition: The Power of Life. We’ve kicked this week off with all sorts of activities but perhaps the one that has yielded the greatest outcomes is some energy expressionism with our young artists putting brush onto paper depicting what ‘energy’ means to them.
Creative Collages
Super team work and communication this afternoon from year 3 who completed these wonderfully colourful collages representing the different parts of plants.
Welcome Back Year 4!
Happy New Year year 4 and welcome back! It is absolutely delightful to see everybody again! Today, year 4 started looking at their new expedition, “The Power of Life” which will involve looking at sustainability and looking after our planet. To begin this learning, 4TE created some lovely posters all about how we can look after our planet! Great start guys!
A picture speaks a thousand words
Merry Christmas and a happy new year, one and all! Year 6 are back with a bang after the Christmas holidays and have begun their hook week for the Spring expedition, ‘A picture speaks a thousand words’. This week, the children have explored the development of the camera and explored significant, iconic events that have occurred since its invention. Later in the week, 6CC will share with you pieces of art work they have completed as well as bringing the news to you. Stay tuned!
