Year 6 Ice Cream Treat!
Base 3 – Euro 2020
Base 3 have been working hard to produce flags of all 24 countries participating in the Euro 2020 championship.
To help keep their interest during the competition they are completing a wall chart each day with the results of all the games.
As part of the fun, each child (including Mr. Smart and Mrs Holloway) has pulled a flag out of a hat and is following that country through the competition to see how far they can get.
Who will be our Base 3 Euro 2020 winner?
Base 4 Maths
Today Base 4 have been outside for Maths and have been working out the age of trees.
Once they have worked out the age, they have also been learning how to convert inches and centimetres.
Base 8 Music
Year 1 were very excited on Friday because they got to play some djembe drums that Miss Cliff delivered! They have been learning about Sub- Saharan African music in their music lessons this term and having these drums really brought the music to life
Base 8 Beans!
Miss Hedges ran out of time before Half Term to add this to the blog.
In Base 8 the children were learning about what plants need to grow and have enjoyed creating their own experiment to see whether their beans will grow without soil.
Butterflies!
As you know Reception have been learning about the life cycle of a caterpillar and over half term we had some very exciting news! The caterpillars became butterflies!
The children were all very excited to see them in the butterfly garden and this morning we took them to the forest at the back of our school and watched them fly away!
Base 1 Gardening
Base 1 are learning about the lifecycle of plants and flowers and as part of this topic they are weeding and clearing the garden area in preparation for sowing some seeds.
Luckily the rain has stopped!
Year 2 Maths investigation
Year 2 have been using daisies this morning for an interesting Maths Investigation.
Eden and Isabella explained to me what they were doing to find out the answer.
The children were all working hard and looking forward to analysing the results later on in the lesson.
Sunflower planting in Year Two
Year Two made the most of a sunny day to plant some seeds outside. We look forward to watching how they grow. The boys in the first video will tell you a bit more about what is happening!
Base 8 – Rainhill Trials
The Rainhill Trials was an important competition run in October 1829 to test George Stephenson’s argument that locomotives would provide the best motive power for the nearly completed Liverpool and Manchester Railway.
Stephenson’s Rocket was the only locomotive to complete the trials, and was declared the winner.
Base 8 have loved learning about the Rainhill Trials and in challenge time designed and made their own steam engines before recreating the competition in school.
