On Friday in RSHE as part of digital literacy Year 1 looked at when to ask permission to do something online. They used making good choices cards to decide if you need to ask permission to do something specific and what might happen if you don’t ask permission.
In PE on Friday, Year 1 worked on balancing and controlling a ball on a racquet to build up their striking skills. The children were very focused which helped them to remain steady and maintain control of the ball, great job year 1!
In maths year 1 are thoroughly enjoying their new topic, measure and length. For Fridays maths lesson the children looked at non standard units as cubes to measure the length and height of objects (and our Max!) Mrs B was extremely proud of how engaged and enthusiastic everyone was.
Y5 researched the changes to adults through the process of ageing through their science today before presenting their findings to the rest of the class. Next week, we will put this learning into a practical investigation around how age affects to reaction times. Looking forward to that lesson!
In Spanish, year 3 were practicing where they were from in Spanish. We got to choose any country that we wanted to say. Thank you Mr Rundle.
Year 4 started to look at classification keys last week as part of our science topic. We were given a range of different animals, and used our classification keys, answering the questions to establish what type of animals they were.
In geography, Year 4 have been looking at mountains in the UK. We looked at the four main mountain ranges in the United Kingdom, focusing on Ben Nevis in the Grampian Mountains. We played a Kahoot quiz to learn more about it, then, working in groups, carried out own research to find more about the climate and wildlife found there. We then collated our findings to present to the rest of the class.
Year 4 began their new DT topic this week, Functional and Fancy Fabrics. We looked at William Morris, and how he was an influential figure. We looked at lots of a William Morris designs, and created fact files about his life and why he was significant.
Year 6 have been doing Picture News. Last week, we looked at the question: Is it important to have a morning routine?
Year 2 have had a great day at the Winter Gardens completing two workshops related to different areas of our learning. We began with a Science workshop and thought about the things a plant needs to grow. Then we potted our own plants! In the afternoon we moved onto Geography and thought about being beside the sea in the past. We looked at old photographs and artefacts and learned all about Roker and Seaburn beaches!
