Scorpions Forest School

Today, Scorpions created Viking Runes. They worked in groups to create a runic coded message to locate an item that they hid somewhere on the school grounds. Other children than had to decode the runes and find the item. Once again we had a great morning. There was lots of excellent teamwork and collaboration. The runes looked really authentic.

Mathematical Problem Solving

Scorpions enjoyed solving a mathematical problem on Friday. There was lots of excellent discussion and mathematical talk about how to go about solving the problem, made even more exciting by representing the problem using marshmallows! It was fantastic to see the children so engaged and focussed on finding a solution.

Scorpions Forest School

The weather was not very kind to us today but Scorpions still had a great morning at forest school creating ‘Dragon Eyes’ from natural materials. The children began in groups collecting items that they could use in their designs. They then thought about how they could use the things they collected for the different parts and colours of Dragon Eyes.  The end results were amazing! Well done Scorpions!

Pentecost Art

The children in Bees have been learning about Pentecost. We read the story from the bible and then created a picture story board and wrote about Pentecost, retelling the story in our own words. We then looked at some pieces of art that showed Jesus returning to earth as the Holy Spirit after his ascension to heaven. From this, we produced our own piece of art using oil pastels.

Well done Bees, your pictures are beautiful. They are going on display at St John The Baptist Church Ditton Priors if your family would like a closer look.

Bees Sewing

Bees have finally finished their sewing! Mrs Cains, Miss Burton, Mr Smith and Mrs Davies are very proud of their achievements. They have learnt lots of new skills including sewing buttons, fasteners and lots of new sewing techniques and stitches. All the children have been amazing at sewing, showing excellent concentration and perseverance and what they have produced is all their own hard work. They designed their covers based on our class read, The Iliad and the Odyssey. Their designs were inspired by their understanding of the events of the story. Well done Bees. Your covers look great!

 

Sewing in Bees!

Today we have continued to learn how to sew. Last week we looked at how to thread a needle and how to sew a basic running stitch and today we have learned how to sew an enhanced running stitch and how to complete a cross stitch. We are having to concentrate really hard as some of us have never sewed before and are learning a new skill. We are enjoying our Friday afternoon sewing activity. We are working towards creating an embroidered story panel based on our class novel The Iliad and the Odyssey. However, we have a long way to go and lots more stitches to learn!

Next Week Lunch Menu

This is the lunch menu for next week. Please order via ParentPay should your child require one. Thank you.

Bees trip to Shrewsbury museum

Yesterday Bees enjoyed a trip to Shrewsbury Museum to take part in a workshop about Evolution and Inheritance. We have begun to investigate this as part of our science learning this term.
Our workshop leader was Hannah. She began with a timeline of the life of Charles Darwin, a leading scientist who researched and wrote about evolution. We had to place artefacts related to his life along the timeline. We then looked at fossils of trilobites and ammonites. We looked at their similarities and differences. We looked for variations relating to evolution and why certain types of these organisms would have survived and others died out.

Hannah showed us replica skulls of early humans and a 200 year old chimpanzee skull.We looked at how these early humans have evolved over millions of years into modern humans.
It was a really interesting workshop, we were able to put our classroom learning into practice by handling the artefacts and fossils. We discussed with each other what we could see and better understand how scientists use evidence and questioning to test their theories.

We all thoroughly enjoyed the day and would like to thank Shrewsbury Museum for hosting the workshop.
