CC - exploring beam structures
Date: 10th Dec 2020 @ 10:00am
It's an exciting morning in 5HW today - in preparation for our bridge building, we're exploring ways of securing cardboard to create strong beam structures. We already know that square and triangular beams are strong shapes, and we've worked out how many folds we need in order to create one side with two layers of cardboard so it can be secured. We're exploring using split pins, sellotape, glue and plastic screws to fix our beam structures into shape. We're also practising using a stanley knife (under extremely close 1:1 supervision!) in order to cut our cardboard neatly to size.
We're definitely feeling confident in knowing which way to turn a screwdriver to tighten or loosen a screw now...helped by the rhyme Mrs Hodges still says to herself: "righty tighty, lefty loosey". Does anyone else still say that?!

This week, year 4 have been learning how to divide using a numberline.
To start off this tricky piece of maths, we created a human numberline using a skipping rope! The children have worked super hard, and are now tackling difficult divisions in their maths books.
Can you use the steps to success to practice at home?

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas...
Date: 4th Dec 2020 @ 1:28pm
Today we decorated our Christmas tree with our own handmade ornaments. We sang songs and danced together. They looked beautiful but we thought it needed a bit more shine and sparkle. Do you like the Christmas tree?
We also learned about the Nativity some more today. Last week we built our own small world nativities.This week we dressed up and performed it!
We love Christmas Celebrations in Reception.
Christmas has started in Nursery!

This week in Nursery, we have been very busy taking part in lots of Christmas activities! On Monday, we had a visit from Santa's reindeers, who left behind two elves, Sparkles and Elfie!! Sparkles and Elfie have been keeping a close eye on us all week. We decided that it would be a good idea to draw pictures of the presents we would like to give to the Elves! Not only that, but our Home Corner turned into Santa's Workshop!! We have loved wrapping lots of presents for our friends in class! Take a look at the video below to see what Christmas fun we have been getting up to!

We're really enjoying our Dance this half term - the two main skills we're working on are 'mirroring' and 'retrograde'. We've explored mirroring side by side, facing each other (2m apart!) and in a line. It seems very easy when we talk about it, but making sure our movements are synchronised perfectly is much harder than we first thought! Retrograde is the dance technique of performing movements in reverse.
Our the next couple of weeks we'll be putting the final stages onto our dance which incorporates these two skills, and is inspired by Victorian transport inventions. For now, check out this video of a perfectly mirrored step which is aiming to give the impression of a steam train. Well done girls!

Today we have been practicing retelling the story 'The Foggy Foggy Forest". We have put actions to the words so that we can remember the different characters. Our favourites are definitely Goldilocks eating chocs and Red Riding Hood and Gran in a van. After we practiced re telling our story we completed our hot spot challenges. Some of us pretended to be the different characters in the book whilst some of us made puppets and practiced using our phonics to write captions to match the characters.
Here's our retell of our story, we hope you like it...

The children have worked really hard this week so we thought they deserved a nice treat to end the week. Mrs Murton and I went shopping and we bought hot chocolate, marshmallows, twirls, chocolate biscuits, sprinkles and whippped cream. The children spent some of the afternoon drawing, reading and drinking hot chocolate. They absolutely loved it! Thank you Mrs Murton for making the hot chocolate, we loved it!

This week the children have enjoyed using their investigation skills to explore the properties of different materials. They have investigated which materials are absorbent or waterproof and have been using scientific vocabulary to compare them. The children have learnt new scientific vocabulary and now know that absorbent materials are porous and that waterproof materials repel water. Look at the fun we had!
