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.
Tennis training
Have you been watching Wimbledon? New tennis lessons are starting at Roundhay Park next week.
Explosive homework
Some super creative homework this week. From news reports to realistic looking volcanoes, Year 3 had the lot!
A carousel of learning
Whilst I read with a group (‘guided reading’), there are lots of other learning activities going on in a carousel arrangement across the week. Activities included volcanic top trumps, a pairs memory game, free reading, group reading, Mathletics and great use of the Maths challenge table.
A spot of gardening
Thanks to Zeewa and Edward for volunteering to help Mrs Edwards tend to the front garden. Clearing out of weeds and watering to do done!
Free tennis lessons
Free tennis lessons (for children and adults) are available locally at David Lloyd and Roundhay Park over the next few months.
Class photograph
A quick reminder that the photographer will be in school on Tuesday morning to take our class photo – smiles at the ready!
‘Join our Club’ girls football
Fourteen of our Year 3 and 4 girls took part in the Wigton Moor ‘Join our Club’ festival at Immaculate Heart Primary. This followed a series of curriculum training sessions at school as part of the Join our Club initiative.
The festival involved three local schools, with over 60 girls taking part, providing the opportunity for the girls to play in friendly matches and demonstrate their skills. It was great to see so many girls getting involved, especially in the heat and after a three day residential for some! Well done to all our players.
Girls from Years 3, 4 and 5 are now invited to attend the Wigton Moor girls team trials on 28 June.
Dance at Allerton Grange
This morning we visited Allerton Grange High School and were taught a few dance routines by the students there. A special mention to Brandon, Edward and Matthew who all demonstrated some great moves.
Volcanoes
Our topic this half term is ‘Extreme Earth‘. We’re studying how the earth is made up of different layers and tectonic plates. Our focus has been volcanoes and what causes an eruption.
Work has begun on our very own volcanoes using plastic bottles and papier mache. We had lots of fun creating these and are really looking forward to our very own eruptions later in the week.
Take a look at our progress so far.
