Eagle class – Miss Seymour

Look at what we did before when we were in Year 4

March 8th 2021 – National Science week and Take One Book

During our first week back post-lockdown, the children loved working in groups and getting creative with activities linking to Oliver Jeffers’s book “Here We Are”. They created posters for their star sign and made matching constellations. They also got crafty making under-the-sea collages.

Year 4 had a great time D&T exploring Roman bread recipes. They followed their recipe and were lucky enough to also enjoy a taste test with olive oil and salt…as the Roman did!

In guided reading this term, we are reading the Iron Man by Ted Hughes. Miss Armstrong is already impressed by how well the children are engaging with the text and wants to share Sam’s excellent description of the Iron Man himself.

In DT last term, year 4 studied Roman shields and then got crafty creating their own. Linking to their “Attack, Attack, Attack” topic, they re-enacted a battle between the Romans and the Celts on our school field.

Year 2 with Miss Armstrong

We had a fantastic day out in London on 26th June. Thank you for Ms Bender and Mr McGillivray for accompanying us on our visit to the Florence Nightingale Museum.

Circus time – 3.6.19

Classroom displays

4.4.19 – Barney, the 11 week old Cockapoo puppy, joined Year 2 on Thursday morning and had a lovely time being read to. He inspired some phenomenal information leaflets written by the children.

Year 2 have spent this term exploring a range of techniques to embellish fabrics, including tie-dye, plaiting and sewing. The children should be incredibly proud of their finished moon flags, linking to our Space Race topic.

3.4.19 – Year 2 had a great day last Friday. We were measuring and cooking in preparation for our Money cafe. We raised £43 whilst practising our money skills finding totals and giving change. Thank you to all the family members that came and supported their children. We hope to buy some new wet play games for our classroom with the money we raised.

Setpoint Materials workshop…LOVED by all!

Children enjoyed investigating materials to find out if they’d be suitable for The Three Little Pigs’ rain jackets and their lunch bags. For the lunch bags, they looked at covering the paper in tape, crayon and leather polish to make the paper waterproof. Through this experiment, the children learnt that they could make paper waterproof by colouring it in using wax crayons. Fascinating!

They also explored the flexibility of everyday materials by seeing if they could bend and stretch.

At Christmas, following an English unit where the children produced some wonderful writing, the classroom was transformed into a winter wonderland. Mrs Neville and Miss Armstrong were delighted when the children climbed aboard the Polar Express in their pyjamas, ready for a day of fun and and laughter including a secret cinema screening of Polar express, complete with hot chocolate with lashing of cream.

History Trip to the Science Museum for our Space Race topic

In Autumn, the children got to visit the Living Rainforest linking to our topic focus. They saw all sort of fabulous wildlife such as Asian Water Dragons, toucans and the pygmy monkeys, which they all wanted to bring home as pets! The children amazing the guides with all of their knowledge about the layers of the rainforest.
