Our Learning

This year our children have been learning how to play musical instruments. In year 4 and 5 they have shown a particular interest in the guitar and the violin. Earlier this term, they decided to host a concert for the school to show off what they have learned. Everyone was blown away by the performance. We really do have some talented musicians in our school!

During the last week of the Spring Term all year groups were lucky enough to watch a production of Treasure Island. It was very exciting and all children enjoyed it.

Year 3 children went to Bishop Barrington for a Multi-Skills Festival. Everyone enjoyed a range of different activities including, tennis, football, basketball, team building and cricket!

Year 3 and 4 have had two control sessions recently. We began the session by building a  type of futuristic transport using only 5 lego pieces. We came up with some excellent ideas. Then we spent half of the session desigining an airport terminal using lego. We had to include a list of different places like a cafe, children's play area and seating area. This was followed by creating a labelled diagram. The second half of the afternoon was spent using a computer program to program a motor for a set amount of time and experiment with different speed settings.

Year 4 enjoyed a visit to the local Church to explore the features of a church that they have been learning about in RE. We got the chance talk to the minister and draw some beautiful stained glass windows. We had a lovely time and hope to return soon.

Over the last half Term, Year 4 have been having lots of fun learning new skills. In Science we have been making circuits and learning about electricity.

The children in Year 3 have been learning how to play some different games using the parachute. We are going to write some rules and instructions for how to play.

The children in Year 3 have been learning how to cross the road safely. They have learnt how to use zebra crossings and pelican crossings. The children know how important it is to find a safe place to cross the road.
