We have been mastering the skill of writing numbers in both digits and words. We also had to use our phonics skills in Maths today in order to support us to ‘Get Smart’. For some of us, we also had to show perseverance as it was a little bit tricky at times. But everyone worked hard to try and complete the task. We demonstrated to Mrs Atherton that at our school we never give up, we work hard to support one another using things such as the working walls to help.
Crew Ramsay has had a blast in their first P.E session this week! We used teamwork and sportsmanship which we have been learning about through our crew curriculum. We all showed respectful communication as part of our ‘Being Kind’ HOWL.
Crew McLoughlin enjoying the last moments of summer this morning during their PE lesson. They were practicing their dribbling and passing skills, as well as their team working skills. A few even managed to successfully hit the crossbar at the end of the lesson during the crossbar challenge!
Year 4 pupils participated in a special road safety course today, equipping them with essential skills for navigating roads safely. The engaging and practical session focused on crucial pedestrian skills, including safely crossing the road using the Green Cross Code, understanding different crossings, and identifying potential dangers posed by traffic. The students were enthusiastic participants, and we encourage parents to reinforce these important lessons at home to help their children develop responsible road habits.
Year 3 have been learning about how a website works and how we receive information on our computers. They learned that when we type in a website, we send a request to a server that sends the information back to our computer. In some cases, the server may need to request the information from the cloud which stores data before it’s sent back to the computer. Children then worked independently to demonstrate their understanding by drawing a diagram of how information is sent.
In computing this week, children in Year 4 were continuing to explore Scratch which is something we learned about last year. However, we were developing our understanding by learning about the position and orientation of our sprite. This allowed us to make links to our prior maths units of coordinates and angles. It was so lovely seeing the experts support the less confident children as well as them grappling with it when it got a little tricky.
Last week in computing, we learned about the different parts of a computer and ensured that we knew the correct names to use. We discussed the purpose of each part of the computer so we understood their job. Children then completed a task where they had to label the different parts of a computer independently which they did a great job of.
We have had the best 3 weeks settling in to our new crew, new classroom and new routine! We are super excited to see what is in store for us this year in F2 as Crew McGlone.
We have started our work on our final product by looking at self-portraits. We have looked at the features of our faces and the lines and shapes we could use to create these. We took each part step-by-step and used mirrors to create our self-portraits. We cannot wait to see our final product!
Our current expedition sees us exploring celebrations, in particular birthdays. We have spent time discussing what happens at a birthday party before deciding to throw our own party! We made our own party food (ham or jam sandwiches), created paper chain decorations to decorate the classroom with, as well as making party hats to wear! At the party we played lots of party games, danced, ate our party food and had so much fun as a crew!
