Y6 Investigating Music

30th November 2020 By angelaritson

Y6 have been learning about notation this week and looking at a stave by playing some practical games. Through different activities this week, we have found out that where notes on a stave sit show which note that equals . We have been creating our own mnemonic phrases to remember note names and had fun being very creative with this. To really test our knowledge, we used giant staves to spell out different words and had to stand correctly on the stave to represent the notes. We have also investigated rhythms and beats and played a game of bingo.

Y3 Magnetism

30th November 2020 By angelaritson

As part of their Science topic, Y3 have been learning about magnets. They have looked at what a magnet is, explored whether two magnets attract or repel and have now started to look at which objects are magnetic. Children found a range of objects in the classroom, discussed the materials and made a prediction about whether it was magnetic before testing it.

6C Maths Week Challenge

30th November 2020 By angelaritson

The whole school enjoyed Maths Week England last week (WB 09.11.20) to celebrate Maths in a variety of different ways. Each class completed Maths Mission tasks using their Maths skills, lots of which showed us how valuable Maths is to everyday life. Some wonderful examples include work which focused on the children creating posters about themselves using number facts, playing a game focusing on factors of a number and completing a jigsaw puzzle using numbers in a different language. Resilience, determination and focus were needed throughout the week. It has been great to see all children working on puzzles and questions with such positive attitudes.

Throughout the week, we also participated in a competition on Rockstar Times Tables. Well done to everyone who worked on this at some point.
Class achievements as follows at the end of the competition:
6C: 20,547
6H: 16,367
4C: 14,938
4H: 5849
5H: 1497
3C: 474
3H: 412
5C: 214

6H Remembrance Medals

13th November 2020 By angelaritson

Today, we learned about people who died in the wars. We found out that brothers from the same family were stopped from serving together. Why poppies? They were the first flower to grow in the fields after WWI ended so this is the flower to represent all those who died. Lest we forget. Each one of us designed a medal to show bravery.
