Water Safety

18th June 2024Laura Godley

Today, we were very lucky to be part of a live talk with Yorkshire Water about the importance of being safe near water. It was really interesting to listen to some of the hidden dangers around open water. The main messages were to stay away from the edge and ensuring that we don’t try to go in after someone who is having difficulty. It’s important that we call for help and don’t put ourselves into danger. We ended the call with a quiz, safe to say we had all discovered so much and scored full marks! We then continued our work by spotting hidden dangers and creating water safety posters to share with our grown ups.

Handwriting

18th June 2024Ruth Shields

Over the last few weeks we’ve been working in small groups so we can practice and start refining out handwriting. Some of us are focusing on ensuring we’re starting on the line and making small tweaks to improve our handwriting whereas others are going back to ensuring we are forming our letters accurately and using the correct joins.

Do all liquids evaporate at the same rate?

18th June 2024Ruth Shields

Last week it was time to conduct our next experiment which allowed us to discover whether all liquids evaporate at the same rate.

Before starting the experiment, we made a prediction about whether we though they would or not. It was great seeing children making reference to the viscosity and how this would impact the rate it evaporates.

Once we made out predictions, we set up the experiment and observed the changes over the next few days.

Computing – animation

18th June 2024Ruth Shields

After returning from half term, we had an opportunity to work more independently on the skills we practiced before half term. Before half term, we were asked to create an animation however, this was something we’d very little experience with it so depended on the expert.

In this session, children were able to complete the task with minimal support showing they had learned how to successfully put the blocks together to create an animation.

Art in MI

17th June 2024Stacey McClare

Some of us started working with water colours this afternoon in our art session. We used water colours to paint our own bees 🙂 We were all super focussed and loved doing this after a morning of assessments.

The other half of MI worked independently on some sketching. Children used a step by step clip to create their own drawing of a bee. There were some great first drafts 🙂 We can’t wait for our final versions!

Handwriting Focus

17th June 2024Laura Hamill

Crew Hamill have worked extremely hard over the last two weeks to improve their handwriting. On Friday, we stripped things right back to focusing on each letter of the alphabet and how to write this cursively. We then worked through handwriting sheets that had been made on the yellow lines we use to support our writing in writing lessons. Miss Hamill also gave us a set of these sheets to take home for homework so that we have even more practise of cursive!
