I am so proud of Autumn for finishing her non-fiction write, and accurately copying in out onto special paper. Well done for using the handwriting lines to ensure beautiful presentation! You have included lots of facts about hedgehogs and made suggestions on how we can help them ✍️
Today, Crew Colclough have been taking part in an experiment. We have been testing how different surfaces would affect the movement of a marble. There were a few children who were surprised with the outcome!😲
Yesterday we took part in a STEM challenge to build a house that would survive a flash flood.
Well done to everyone, you all worked so hard!
Crew Ramsay have worked hard to create a ‘Guess The Baby’ gallery in our hall! We did a gallery walk where we looked at the baby pictures and observed the babies to see if any felt familiar. Then we filled in a class sheet guessing which baby is which child. We noticed that although we grow and change, some things stay the same such as eye shape and distinguishing features. We were also shocked at how different some of us looked as we had changed a LOT!
Today, Crew Ramsay enjoyed hunting for bugs in our woodland area as part of our animals unit. We were very respectful and left no trace! We saw many mini habitats and even spotted birds’ nests with eggs which had hatched.
Last week, our children took part in an engaging and informative family learning session focused on first aid basics. The session provided a valuable opportunity for children and their families to learn essential skills that could one day help save a life.
One of the key areas of learning was Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Children were introduced to the correct steps involved in performing CPR and practised the technique using demonstrations and role-play activities. They learned the importance of acting quickly in an emergency and how effective CPR can help someone whose heart has stopped beating.
The children were also introduced to the DR ABC approach, a simple but vital method used when responding to an emergency situation:
Through discussions and practical activities, the children developed a greater understanding of how to assess a situation calmly and safely before offering help.
We are incredibly proud of the children for their participation and commitment. The knowledge and confidence they gained from this session will be invaluable and we hope they continue to share what they have learned with their families and wider community.
This week we have completed our case study reflections and moved onto our second case study all about forces and magnets.
