What is Geography?

Firstly the children wrote down all the things they already knew. Then we completed a scavenger hunt in school to explore our ideas further and took photos of what we saw on the ipads.

Great work class 6!

Safer Internet Day 2022

Exploring Habitats

Finally the children worked in groups to explore one habitat in more detail. They worked collaboratively and then presented their work to the rest of the class.

I was so impressed with how they supported each other whilst presenting. You are all amazing!

Digital Leaders

Notice for all students in Year 2

Students in Year 2 have an amazing opportunity to become a Digital Leader within our XP schools.

This is a fantastic opportunity for children to develop their own individual skills when it comes to the latest technology. Children who are successful will get the opportunity to visit XP East and potentially the Apple Store to have further training on how to use technology including iPads, MacBooks and some of the other great technology that is used throughout schools. Our Digital Leaders will then become the experts who can then pass on their knowledge to our staff and students.

Below is a link to the Digital Leaders website where you can find out further information.

Applications will need to be sent to Mrs Parsons by Thursday 3rd February explaining why you would make a fantastic Digital Leader. This can be done in a format of your choice including a letter, slides or even a video showcasing your IT skills.

I can’t wait to see your applications!

Classifying Animals

This week we have been learning about carnivores, herbivores and omnivores. We worked collaboratively to group animals before writing about them.

I wonder if you can remember what sort of teeth each group have?

Fantastic Food Chains

Today in class 6 we were learning about food chains. The children worked in collaborative groups to sort pictures to make food chains. It was lovely to see them all engaged in their learning.

Making predictions

As part of our new expedition we set up an experiment to see how different objects react to being submerged in water. We added tissues, a swim nappy, a plastic toy and a packet of crisp to bowls of water and will keep observing them over the next few weeks!


Making Jellyfish

As part of our immersion we all made Jellyfish. The children were preserving parrots and concentrating crocodiles as some found the threading quite challenging.
