We were very lucky to have a visit today from a music expert. Mr Hull brought along more than 10 instruments which he entertained us with. We listened to different types of guitars, drums, wood wind instruments and even a harmonica!
We are very grateful that he took time out of his day to come and visit us. Hopefully he has inspired some children to take up an instrument!
Today we were scientists again and discussed what humans and animals need to survive. The children knew they needed food and water to survive and we also discussed the importance of air.
They produced lots of beautiful work. Well done everyone!
Today in our expedition lesson we have been scientists and investigating life cycles. We began by ordering the life cycle of a human and then thinking what skills an adult has that a baby doesn’t. We came up with lots of great ideas.
We then completed a matching activity where we linked different animals and their offspring. We noticed that some animals look like their parents but others look completely different.
To hook into our new maths unit on multiplication and division we used mini m&ms to create equal groups and linked this to the multiplication sums. Everyone worked really hard and we were even allowed to eat the chocolate at the end!
Today in our experience lesson we pretended to be on a bus. We all bought our tickets from bus driver Nandi and found somewhere to sit. There were people listening to music, drinking their coffee and even reading a book. Unfortunately there were more people than seats so some people had to stand up! We rang the bell and got off at the train station!
I was absolutely blown away by some of the writing today.
As part of our hook week activities we have been listening to different genres of music and reflecting on how the songs made us feel. From Taylor Swift and Jay-Z to Bob Marley and Frank Sinatra, there was something for everyone!!
This afternoon we kicked off our spring term expedition with a great family learning session.
We used our art skills to produce some amazing pointillism fruit which will be displayed in our classrooms.
I wonder if you can guess what our new expedition is all about?
The children in KS1 were lucky enough to meet their volunteers that they read with on the laptop each week.
The children spoke to their volunteers and even told some jokes!
