LKS2 have been learning how to effectively use water paints, for a background in their third and final Case Study! This is to create the effect of smoke, as would have been seen in British cities during the Blitz!
After completing backgrounds, Years 3 and 4 were then preparing to practice a variety of sketching techniques in preparation for sketching landmarks that will from part of the same piece of art, so please keep your eyes peeled!
Today we continued with our ICT work. We created our own sprite based on Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman to travel in space. We followed the instructions carefully then started to create our own back drop. Some great support was given today by our peers which was lovely to see.
Today we consolidated the learning we had just done around decimals by taking part in a kahoot quiz! Such engagement by all!
Today, we completed a tough Crew Challenge of passing a ball with different body parts. It was a great laugh watching how we passed the ball!
We also dressed in our football shirts to celebrate the big game later! Check out the fantastic football following from today!

Luckily, the weather turned around after a soggy start this morning an we were able to play our long awaited football tournament. With some new players starting today, it was a great showcase of enjoyment and pride. The girls really loved the games that they played, all smiled (even after late tackles) and encouraged each other to be their best. It was a joy to watch.
Our Year 3/4 team played their first game together and managed to finish third, which we are so proud of. This was the first time for a number of them playing a football game today. There were so many great performances, but Daisy was like a hoover in defence, vacuuming up any dangerous passes. She takes the player of the tournament for Year 3/4.
For our Year 5/6 team, some of the girls had played previously, but there were some new starters. As the tournament champions, they have also made us feel really proud. With lots of great displays all over the pitch, the girls managed to win all of their games, against some tough opposition. Madi takes the player of the tournament, with some great tackles in midfield.
We can’t wait for more tournaments in the future!
Due to the rain, Scotty’s heroes took place inside however, that doesn’t mean their survival skills weren’t put to the challenge. Unfortunately, the children were stranded at sea on a dingy (fitting for the weather today) and they had to chose which items were important and why. There was a range of different items chosen but children were able to explain why they thought it was more important than other items.
Today we started case study 3. We thought about what we already know about coding and created a KWL grid. We then discussed what coding is and watched a clip on binary, building background knowledge. After, we used an alphabet chart to build our name in binary!
We then watched another clip to find out what coding actually is. We added our findings to our KWL grid. The next clip proved how much our lives depend on coding! Finally we worked collaboratively to create a group code, we had to ensure our instructions were clear and could be followed. We then thought about the guiding question and how coding helps movement in our world.
