Road Safety Competition

Class LH warming up with Pudsey

On Friday, Mr Peck led Class LH's warm up using Joe Wick's "Children in Need" warm up.  The children followed Joe and Pudsey through some exciting and, at times,  complicated moves.  

After that, we then started our hockey session learning ball control skills and how to pass and send the ball. 

FOREST SCHOOL

WEEK 4 -CLASS KB

A bright but frosty morning at Robin Wood. The children investigated the woodland by taking part in a texture scavenger hunt before experiencing using a bow saw. After listening to a tool talk they safely cut a tree cookie to decorate at a later date. Lots of free play was enjoyed including potion making, building animal homes, making fairy doors and having fun in the mud.

CHILDREN IN NEED

CLASS CH

Class CH had a fantastic time creating accessories for their cuddly toys in aid of Children in Need. Don't they look fantastic.

Year 3 Totem Pole Night Lights

Year 3 researched Totem Pole designs and are in the process of painting. Once painted they will convert the design into a night light with an electrical circuit.

Year 3 get creative in American landscape dance!

Year 3 constructed some dances that link to our topic of Roadtrip USA. They were aiming for fluency and connection of movement and used landscape images for inspiration.

Year 3 Scientists explore electrical circuits

Year 3 have been creating an electrical circuit as part of their electricity topic. We had a lot of fun during this lesson and had some Year 6 helpers to teach our Year 3 class how to make a continuous circuit.

Year 3 and 4 Children in Need

Classes KV/JA, LC and VWe brought in coins to decorate Pudsey and Blush.  We had plenty of coins to use. We then counted and sorted them all afterwards.  We managed to raise £183.86!

We decorated Blush with copper coins.

We decorated Pudsey with silver coins.

Class LC Pumpkin Muffins

As part of  'Road Trip USA', Class LC made pumpkin muffins.  We discussed all the pumpkin going to waste after Halloween and how we could use pumpkin to make tasty food.  The children looked at the pumpkin seeds.  The muffins were delicious!

One Springy Day...

Children in Need Success

WOW!!!
We are really delighted to announce that the children's fundraising efforts on Friday for Children in Need raised a fantastic £572!  

All the classes did really well, we were very impressed by the activities that took place to raise money.  The Year 3/4 classes 'Pudsey' pictures, created from all the small change, raised £185 - as you can imagine the counting of the 1ps/2ps/5ps etc took Miss SImpson & Mrs Jenkins quite a while!  The yummy Year 5 cake stall after school raised a whopping £128.
Well done to everyone for their efforts and to all those who so generously donated!

Year 5 Children in Need

Today we have had a busy and yet exciting time, all to raise money for Children in Need.
In SC, we have made Pudsey Bears, marble runs and a host of other models out of recycled materials.
In JT, we had a talent show, where children performed a variety of entertaining acts.
After school, Year 5 hosted a bake sale, selling cakes we made at school and contributions from home.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed today, in money, cakes, talent and junk, we greatly appreciate it.
We are leaving the final total as a BIG surprise for all of the children on Monday.

A rainbow brightens Key Stage 1

The children in Key Stage 1 all wore a top which was the colour of the rainbow.  We were able to get a photo of everyone together to create the rainbow.  Thank you to everyone who donated to Children in Need.  The final total will follow.

Just a few images of the children earlier this morning - activities for Children in Need are happening through the school.
Don't forget the fundraising bake sale after school.

Year 1 Science Club

Today, year 1 encountered their second Science Club session. They were posed with a conundrum: How

could they observe the car park from the classroom without looking directly out of the window? We talked about using mirrors and reflecting light, then set about making periscopes. The children used Lego, polydron and cardboard periscopes. Miss. Whipps was very impressed with their final constructions; the children thought carefully about where the mirrors might need to be positioned. Further pictures to follow...
