Today, we listened to the story of Adam and Eve.
Congratulations to our new School Council! Miss Kane is looking forward to the first meeting on Tuesday.
Congratulations our winners!
To mark mental health day, Year 1 came to school in their colourful clothes.
Across the day, we enjoyed making worry monsters to take any worries away and. Everyone also talked about and drew ten things they love as these are the things that make us happy!
Today the children put their sorting materials knowledge to the test by trying different methods of separating. We are using evaporation to separate salt and water, filtering to separate sand and water, sieving to separate flour and sweets and finally magnetic attraction to separate paper clips and rice.
We were very impressed with their scientific enquiry skills.
A big thank you to Rev. Cuthbert for coming tell the children all about his role within the parish.
Congratulations to our winners!
Today, Y5 carried out an experiment to explore the process of filtration to try and separate an insoluble material (tea leaves) from a solvent (water). The children had a variety of different materials to use as filters and we discovered that some were more successful than others. Material with very small holes such as woven fabric acted as a good filter and resulted in very few leaves getting through the material. We called what was left in the material the residue.
The children in Year 1 have had a great first few weeks in their new class and everyone has been very busy.
We have explored our feelings through the story Silly Billy and wrote our own Silly Billy stories which we shared with our friends in Reception. Then this week, we have had special messages from Professor Klunk who has been giving us ‘quests’ to complete in our English time. We are excited to find out what he wants us to do next.
We are learning about the features of our Marsden area in geography and we even have a new bear – Paddington – to help us with this learning. We took him to the windmill and he loved it! Now, we are trying to make our own windmills in class.
We are developing our number knowledge and we made some alligators to help us identify the greater number this week.
We are also investigating all about animals in science and we know not all animals are the same.
It really has been a busy time!
Well done to Nathaniel as our child of the week and Lucas, Maisie and Nathaniel for great NumBots work. Who will it be next week?
