Irresistible Learning
Maple
Thinking creatively, Maple class took on the challenge to make props to help them discuss the different types of weather we see throughout the seasons in the UK. They have also been both immersed in learning and excited in anticipation of the Chinese New Year. The classroom has been full of decorations to celebrate!
Rowan
In Rowan class we have been testing the properties of different papers, looking at their strength texture and absorbency.
Birch
As part of our 'Rocks, Relics and Rumbles' topic, children in Birch Class have been learning all about soil. After learning about what is in soil, they used the 'Soil Hand Texture' chart to discover what the different samples of soil types we had were. Use a glass jar, the children examined what was in the soil and recorded it as a diagram.
Sycamore
Sycamore Class have been writing Survival Guides, all about how to survive life on Mount Everest. We had to learn lots of facts in order to give the reader some top tips for survival.
Aspen
Aspen class spent the day at Winchester College doing a variety of team building activities. They made and tasted soup which was delicious. Visiting the boat house, they assembled a single skull ready to row down the River Itchen. In the science lecture theatre, they saw a variety of skulls, including a 2-million-year-old woolly mammoth tooth, and felt the sharp teeth of a Nile crocodile. The college staff all commented on their respectful behaviour and excellent attitude to learning. Well done Year 5.
Year 6
This week Year 6 enjoyed a special RE Q&A with a member of the New Life Church. The children have been exploring sacred places for different religions and came up with their own questions to ask - they were very insightful and thoughtful! This gave then a chance to deeper their understanding of sacred places and the importance they can have on their community!
