This week Class Six have been working as artists and creating rocket and space art inspired by Peter Thorpe. We worked with the tricky medium of chalk on black paper to create some stunning artwork!
We think the children have outdone themselves and the art is incredible!
This week Y2 have been making the most of the good weather! We spent lots of our crew sessions outside, but our favourite was our Tranquil Tuesday crew sessions.
We spent time celebrating World Maths Day in our key stage one community meeting this morning. We thought about when we use maths outside of school, why it is important and we even talked about some famous mathematicians!
We finished our community meeting with some maths puzzles. I was very impressed how people were grappling to solve the problems!
This week in our Wise Wednesday community meeting we reminded ourselves of our new Science characters that are going to help us to think scientifically.
Next, we had some Science riddles to try and solve – look at how many scientific superstars we had this morning!
I wonder if you can solve the riddles? Have a go …
1 – With my powerful lens you can look at the stars, and spot the planets like Venus and Mars.
2 – I’m a type of energy. You use me every day … for light, cooking, computers and the music that you play.
3 – I am a gas that is found in the air. Without me, there would be no life anywhere!
4 – I am a precious metal mined from deep underground. I’m yellow in colour. In jewellery, I’m found.
5 – I am part of your body, with a very important role. Your voice, sight and memory are some things I control.
6 – I can be sunshine, snow, wind or rain. I change every day … people often complain!
7 – Plant and animal cells too tiny to see are magnified when you look through me.
8 – I am a liquid. In rivers I flow When I freeze I am ice. I’m called H2O!
On Friday we celebrated World Book Day! Class 6 looked absolutely awesome in their book themed costumes.
We started the day by creating crew book murals where we all thought about our favourite books and how we can represent them.
We had a fabulous Alice In Wonderland themed day where we took a trip to the mad hatters tea party and spent the morning using our imaginations to create our very own wonderlands!
This morning in crew, Y2 have been thinking all about World Wildlife Day and what we can do to help the wildlife both in our local area and around the world.
in crew this morning, Crew Gate have been thinking all about craftsmanship and quality. We’ve been thinking of all the ways we can produce work we are really proud of. We spent our crew session praising our friend’s craftsman.
