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?
Today we welcomed our grown ups into our classroom and enjoyed completing Harvest activities together and showing them our learning so far this term. It was a lovely morning!
In Year 2 we have been looking at Christopher Columbus and his epic voyage. To conclude our topic we used loose parts to create our own Christopher Columbus ships.
Well done Year 2!
We had a beautiful harvest today – despite the weather!!
The vegetable carvings are amazing – thank you to everyone for your hard work.
Y5 started to read the text Beowulf last week. We were text detectives and searched for information about King Hrothgar from the book. Once we knew a lot about him we talked about what we would ask him if he was in our classroom.
Then the children were put in the hot seat pretending to be King Hrothgar and answer questions from the other children. They were very intimidating warriors and answered questions using what they found from the text.
Today, we listened to the story of how Christians believe the world was created.
To celebrate National Coding Week, a mixture of Y4 and Y5 children accessed a program which gradually builds up their coding skills. We used Rodo Codo from the Code Hour and the children loved it! They were much better than Mrs Hanratty at creating effective code.
