In Science, Year 5 have been looking at Galileo Galilei’s theory of air resistance. We have designed different parachutes, changing different variables to see which parachute fell the slowest!
Year 2 have been busy in computing. We continued our learning on Computational Thinking this afternoon with programming and algorithms. We looked at giving our partner a set of directions they had to follow. We then applied this to programming Bee-Bots. We had to identify errors in the algorithms and we started to debug them. To finish off our we had a tinker with scratch junior.
More football matches took place this week – this time it was the boys’ turn! Some absolutely excellent matches were played and they really really impressed Mr Barron, Mr Richardson and Miss Marley with their skills and effort this week. Very exciting matches to watch and a 1-0 win had us all feeling marvellous

This term Year 2 have been learning about Andy Warhol and printing. Linked to their topic of Monarchs, they created their own Andy Warhol inspired piece of Pop Art. Children had to think about colour, shape and repeated patterns. Children then evaluated their final piece and communicated this with parents and carers on Seesaw. We are so proud of our final pieces!
Year 5 had a fantastic day visiting Jarrow Hall. We learnt all about Anglo Saxon life, listened to a Viking Saga around the fire and even took part in a Anglo Saxon and Viking battle. Year 5 were so well behaved and impressed all of the Year 5 staff with their fab knowledge and questions! 
This afternoon in year 1 we have evaluated our aboriginal art work in
an art gallery style. The children’s artwork was placed randomly
around the classroom and the children carouselled around looking at
all of the different pieces. The aim was to be positive but also
critical to see how we could improve our work. The children were asked
to discuss the following: can you identify the native animal? Have
they used the dot technique well? Is there a range of colours and
pattern? Do you like the pieces? Can you suggest how it could be
improved? The children were fantastic at this and are really becoming
evaluative artists! Great job year 1 
For Miles Away Monday Year 2 spent the morning focusing on Geography. First, children looked at continents and cities, identifying the capital of Australia and where it is located. Next, children discussed different human and physical features. They had to sort different landmarks into human or physical and compare landmarks between the United Kingdom and Australia. They then moved on to learning about climate and weather. Children had to identify the similarities and differences between the climate in the UK and Australia, thinking about the equator. We then linked our learning to topic and learnt about Captain James Cook and his voyage to Australia. In the afternoon we LOVED sharing our learning with out parents and carers. We created aboriginal artwork, using patterns and shapes to create artwork linked to our geography.
Year 4 have had an amazing day learning all about Australia. We started of the morning with geography and developed our understanding of location, as well as physical and human features. Next it was Science, where we learnt all about different, native Australian animals and their habitats. This afternoon we concentrated on the arts, first by listening to some traditional aboriginal music and then we created our own aboriginal artworks, concentrating on lines, dots and control. We thoroughly enjoyed our COOL afternoon too, it was amazing having so many visitors observing our learning.
