The Vikings!
On Friday, year 4 were lucky enough to have a visit from a real-life VIKING!!!
The children noticed that our classroom was a bit different to usual. It had animal skins hung up, giant horns, banners with Viking runes on and more. Viking Gary had come to speak to the children and show them lots of ancient artefacts from Viking times.
During the afternoon, we had an arts and crafts session where we created clay Viking lamps as well as performing a bit of roleplay as Viking warriors (using swords and shields!!)
The children had a great time and learnt lots!

The Eco Action Team have been very busy over the past few weeks. Along with Mr Brooks, they have built some planters using old pallets and filled them wirth compost and bulbs ready for the Spring. The crocus bulbs were given to school by the Rotary Club as part of their campaign to eradicate polio across the world.
The original planters were very overgrown and were in need to of a tidy up - they have weeded them ready for the Spring.
They have also carried out a litter pick on the field - especially after all the windy weather we have had recently.

Multiplication facts - 3's, 6's and 9's
During our maths lessons this week, Year 4 have been explictly learning about the 3 times table, the 6 times table and the 9 timestable. We have looked at different strategies when working out our answers. This can involve different timestables that we are more confident with such as using the 3's to help work out the 6's and the 10's to help work out your 9's.
Today, we used those strategies to play multiplication board games. The board games only had the 3, 6 and 9 timestables on them in order to help the children practice.

Year 3 completed their Stone Age topic with prehistoric art. They used natural ingredients such as berries and spices to create Earth colours. Next, they created a cave wall and used charcoal and paints to produce their own cave painting. Finally, they painted their hands in a style similar to the Stone age period. It was very messy but a lot of fun.

Some of the fabulous learning experiences our children have participated in this past half term!
DT Moving pictures: Humpty Dumpty
Date: 2nd Nov 2021 @ 9:53am
In Autumn term 1, Y1 learned how to make two different mechanisms - levers and sliders. They applied this learning to designing and making their own moving picture book using the beginning, middle and end of the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme.
The children were very skilled in their marking and cutting skills to make the slits for their mechanisms and could talk about why they had used each one.
To test out their design criteria, Y1 shared their books with some of the children in Early Years - they really enjoyed them!
