See below the songs for our Christmas production!
Year 5 were set a challenge to explore what happens when you add water to corn flour. We discovered that it made an unusual fluid called oobleck which is a Non-Newtonian Fluid. This means that when pressure is added (e.g. you punch it) it acts like a solid and is hard. When you pick it up it acts like a liquid and is runny.
As you can imagine, the classroom was a little bit messy!
This week, Chris introduced us to call and response songs along with some funky dance moves.
We also explored our first fretboard!
As part of our new video editing unit in computing, the children were investigating different filming techniques when recording videos. They tested out different angles and talked about the effect it had on the video.
Well done to Year 6 for leading us in a very respectful and thought provoking assembly on Remembrance Day.
To mark Remembrance Day, Year 5 decided we want to show our respect by creating a window mural. Mrs Potter kindly painted a soldier for us and Mrs Chrisp worked with the children to create a field of poppies.
For our class wreath, we used a compass to create different sized size circles and staple them together after snipping around the edge.
Today, Year 5 experienced their fist ukulele session and they were naturals! We discovered all the different parts of the instrument, how to hold and play it, the string names and even managed to play along with a song.
Apparently, Chris teaching them the ukulele is a step up from listening to Mrs Hanratty sing! We can’t wait for our next lesson.
A big thank you to Siddharth and Jasritha who shared with the class how they celebrate Diwali. The class made their own Diya lamps, made their own sweet treats and decorated the class for the celebration.
Year 5 have creating their own Anglo-Saxon brooches to link their art and history topics. First, they designed them and then used glue and string for the outline of the design. They then covered them in tinfoil and decorated them.
Y6 visited Reception class to meet their new buddies. At whole school events, Y6 will support their buddies and will also visit them during the year to support Reception’s learning. Today’s task was to share a story and get to learn names!
