Roundhay Park
What a super day out at Roundhay Park this week! We staged our very own mini Olympics and held a medal ceremony for the winning team – well done yellow team! Followed by a picnic, ice-creams and plenty more games.
Stripy salad pots
As part of our Green Fingers topic, we have been learning about food origins and how all food comes from plants or animals. While our plants are not ready for eating, we’ve used vegetables that we are growing in our stripy salad pots.
Grating, snipping and chopping (bridge technique) were all skills we used to prepare our salad pots. There was lots of washing up to do too.
We discussed why some people might have different ingredients in their salad pot – likes/dislikes, allergies, religion and we also thought about how we could adapt this recipe, maybe adding pasta to make it a balanced meal.
Alice in Wonderland
A massive well done to the class for their first performance this afternoon. You all did brilliantly to bring this rather bonkers story to life!
Looking forward to Thursday’s final performance!
10 minute shake up
Recently children have brought home information from Change 4 life on their latest campaign, 10 minute shake up. Similar to our daily Wake Up Shake Up activity, here is a 10 minute shake up video for you to follow at home.
Code Club
It was the last Code Club of the year on Tuesday. This term, we’ve had the highest participation in two years and also the highest number of female coders.
As well as using Scratch this term, we’ve started building our own webpages using Trinket.
A massive thank you must go to Linda Broughton who gives up her time every Tuesday to run Code Club. Thanks also to Mr Baynes and Mrs Freeman who have helped out this year.
Maths Problems
Explaining subtraction by decomposition using Base 10 resources.
Earth, sun and moon
This week, we’ve created videos demonstrating how the earth orbits our sun and how the moon orbits the sun.
Space Dome
Last week, we learnt about the planets and stars in a Space dome. We found out that the stars in our sky change across the year. We also learnt about how the earth and moon move in relation to our sun.
Harlow Carr
As part of our Green Fingers topic, Year 1 and 2 have visited Harlow Carr gardens today. It’s been great to see the children’s enthusiasm for this topic and especially how their knowledge has grown when naming different plants and trees. We found plenty of shady spots to try and keep cool and the ice creams helped too. Well done both classes for demonstrating excellent behaviour. You were great ambassadors for the school.
