Line graphs – 29/11/22

30th November 2022Ruth Shields

In Maths, we have been learning about statistics and in particular line graphs. Being able to draw an accurate line graph is quite a tricky skill to learn so we spent some time practicing how to draw line graphs. As part of this, we used varying number increments on the graph so children started to understand that they won’t always go up in 1s or 2s.

Terrific Tuesday

29th November 2022Hannah McLoughlin

Today we made a start on section 3 of our SLCs (which stands for student led conferences). This is so we can practise for January so we know what to say and are confident to present.

Next, we engaged in some active magic maths; we went around the class to answer consolidation fraction arithmetic questions which were stuck around the room. Watch us here in action…

We also started our CS3 computing, we learnt about coding and some interesting facts about binary (this is the language of computer systems).

We also fitted in some rehearsal practise so we felt ready for our presentation of learning on Thursday and to ensure it would be out of this world! – Connor

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.

Girls football tournament! ⚽️

23rd November 2022Simon Gerrard

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!
