Gymnastics
On Friday, a group of children attended an event at Leeds Gymnastics Club. It was great to see the children trying out new skills and really enjoying themselves. Thank you to Mrs Bharath and the parents who helped out with this session.
Geography: Exploring OS Maps
As part of our geography learning, we explored the UK using OS maps today. OS stands for Ordnance Survey. The children were amazed at how detailed these maps are and we were particularly excited to find Loch Lomond, Scafell Pike and Snowdon on them as these are physical features of the UK that we’ve already learnt about.
Dig out any maps you’ve got at home and see what exploring you can do without eve leaving your house!
What is reflection?
In this week’s science, we have been learning how you can see objects round corners using mirrors!
We also discussed how the angle of the travelling light ray is the same as the angle of the reflected one.
Ask your child to define what reflection is using these words:
- travel
- direction
- light ray
- light source
- change
- mirror
Living & Learning – Community Week
Here’s Y6 showing off what makes them who they are!
And this second picture is definitely showing it, too!
Andy Goldsworthy inspired art
This week the children looked at the work of artist Andy Goldsworthy and were inspired to make their own environmental art.
Have look at our display of the children’s work next time you are in the classroom.
29 November 2019
This week’s homework is Practice Makes Perfect and is due on Thursday 5 December 2019.
Having learnt all about Scotland in our topic learning this week, the children have a text t0 read and answer questions. We’ll read it together and mark our work in our homework review on Thursday 5 Dec.
Living and Learning: Staying safe in the community.
Today, we welcomed both the fire and police service into school. The children were thrilled to see a fire engine parked in the playground!
These vital services keep us safe and it was very interesting to hear all about the roles the professionals play. Ask your child to tell you about the photos below.
Living and Learning: Who’s in our community?
This week, we welcomed Natasha and Alex from RNIB. They shared lots of information about how they support people with visual impairments in our community.
Living and Learning: Who are we?
Even though we are all different and unique, there are still many connections between us. In this learning, Year 2 produced a ‘spiders’ web’ to show how we are connected.
If one of the connections was cut, how would that person feel if they were excluded from the web of connections?
The key message is that communities that include everyone are stronger.
Living and Learning: Who am I?
In our themed week, this week, we’ve enjoyed finding out about the identity of members of our class.
