Around Home and at School 15th January 2021

15th January 2021 By lesleyannbox

Such a range of wonderful learning across school and lovely to see many of our learning taking place outdoors too. The engagement and effort that the children ( and of course parents/carers) are putting in to the home learning is impressive. Thank you once again to teachers and teaching assistants who are also doing an exceptional job under very different and difficult circumstances…

A selection of the wonderful learning that has still been taking place for our children both at home and at school. I love the way Miss Callender  turned her living room rug upside down to create a number grid/division board for the children in Swifts- and are those your slippers peeping out too Miss C!!Well done everybody… children, staff and of course parents. Team effort!!

Robins have been making potions and medicine this week- inspired by Mary Seacole. They have been finding out lots about Mary Seacole actually… I hope they can remember these and share with you at home!



Lots of science investigations and experiments going on in the Larks class- they used glitter ( feeling festive!!) to represent germs and investigated washing their hands with different things such as water, soap and water and sanitiser. I wonder if they can tell you their results!

 



More science in Swifts class- exploring the human skeleton and identifying bones in our body.

 

 



Wow- the artwork in Owls class is always impressive! How adorable are their felt Christmas cards this year. Just beautiful- I would actually buy one of these from the shops!! Wonderful to see the Advent foodbank growing and growing too- thank you Owls.

Advent Around School… the children have began their Advent preparations in school. I will keep adding to this gallery as we journey through Advent together as a school family…





Robins have had a busy week exploring 3D shapes in maths, and helping rescue the sea creatures from all of the plastics thrown into the sea… goodness me, I am so happy our children know not to do that. They did a grand job of litter picking and I am pleased to confirm they saved ALL of the sea creatures. Phew!!  They also had a remote lesson with the Dog’s Trust this week, looking at safety and awareness of dogs in our community. Can they tell you al about it?



In their outdoor maths lesson this week, Larks worked collaboratively to create pictograms using their favourite emojis! They were able to collect the data and record it using a tally chart, and then present it using a pictogram. From there they were able to interpret the data and answer key questions from Mr Dougall and Mrs Lewandowski. Marvelous mathematicians!!



 

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in Swifts. Advent preparations in full swing!!


This week the class have learned about multiples and common multiples by visiting planet Zog in search of food for aliens. Each alien we met had very specific dietary requirements ie only eating multiples of 3 and 5, and the children enjoyed exploring rules associated with identifying large numbers that each alien could eat.

Robins created such an impressive recycling centre with their natural materials and loose parts this week. Some little chefs in there too… wonderful!



Larks were exploring balance in their PE sessions this week. Some great team work going on, and some gorgeous smiles too. Wonderful!



In science the Swifts were challenged to investigate if all of their teeth do the exact same job for every food group they eat. They then had to eat 5 different food groups and monitor and observe the teeth they used to break down the foods. The recorded their data on a table grid and collated their findings to draw upon a conclusion. They enjoyed the marshmallows best!



Owls have been learning all about how our immune system fights infections – topical!! We carried out a scientific enquiry to find out why it is so important to receive the right blood if we need a transfusion. Did you know that if you were given the wrong blood the antibodies would attack your red blood cells and you would be very ill!
