Levens X-Country Runners go for Gold!

 in Class Four / Class Three / Sport / Whole School by

What an afternoon of amazing resilience, determination and endless energy!  The Levens’ running reputation lives on with today’s incredible athletes pushing themselves to the finish line.  Not only did every runner complete their best ever run, they also cheered on the side lines supporting their team mates every step of the way.  It was wonderful to have such great support from parents and wider family members too!

We have returned with four medals: a gold in the year 5 girls race; a silver in the year 4 boys; a bronze in the year 6 boys and the year 6 girls too!

We are yet to hear our overall placing as a team, but couldn’t be more overjoyed with such enthusiasm, effort and endurance from everyone!

 

Screen Savvy Workshop

 in Class Three / Computing by

Class 3 had a fantastic morning learning all about screen time and how to stay safe online. The children thought about how long they should spend online, what they do online and how to stay safe online. They had a wonderful time with lots of interesting discussions and debates. The morning also included designing our own badges with key messages about screen time. Don’t they look fantastic! Thank you to www.facebook.com/screensavvykidz

Trust and betrayal in the Easter story

 in Class Three / RE by

Class 3 have begun to look at trust and betrayal and the Easter story. We started the topic by discussing trust and what it means to us. We then went outside and played some trust games leading each other around the playground whilst one person was blindfolded.

 

Anglo-Saxon and Viking workshop

 in Class Three / History by

Class 3 had an amazing day taking part in a Woodmatters workshop at the Footprint Centre, Windermere. The day started with a history lesson of the period with the children playing the parts of the key historical figures. We then made our own Anglo-Saxon coins and also made ink and learnt how to write using Viking runes. After lunch, the children had battle drills learning about battle formation and instructions and completed the day by learning how to weave, We learnt about making Viking sails and were amazed that this would need between 200 and 300 sheep fleeces and would take one person 35 years to weave so teamwork was essential! Thank you to Woodmatters and our volunteers.

Fabulous Anglo-Saxon homework.

 in Class Three / History by

Class Three have made these fabulous Anglo-Saxon house and village models as a homework project. The children learnt about the key features of Anglo-Saxon houses and villages in lessons and have used this knowledge in their own models. The models include open fires in the middle of the houses, thatched rooves, wattle and daub walls, meat smoking over fires and rivers close by. The details are fantastic. Well done Class Three!

Magnificent Masks!

 in Art / Class Three by

Linking in with our Anglo-Saxon topic, Class Three have been looking at the Sutton Hoo Mask and using this as inspiration for our own 3D masks. I think you will agree they look amazing.

Dallam gymnastics

 in Class Three / PE by

Class Three had a fantastic morning at Dallam Sports Hall completing a gymnastics carousel. The activities included learning how to cart wheel and do handstands. The children had a fantastic morning. Thank you very much to our helpers and to Dallam School for organising and hosting the event.

 

Learning how to deal with aggression and difficult situations.

 in Class Three / SCARF by

In the SCARF lessons this week we were examining aggressive behaviour and how we can respond to this. We talked about different situations and did some freeze frames. We followed this up by discussing why people may display these behaviours and how we could diffuse the situations including asking for adult help.

 

Splendid sound

 in Class Three / Science by

Class 3 had a fantastic time in science learning all about sound. We learnt about how different musical instruments create sounds and identified the vibrations. We looked at how sound travels to the ear and what happens inside the ear. We also conducted experiments testing to see which material would be best for soundproofing a room. We concluded our topic by making string telephones to help us learn about how sound travels.

 

Adapting recipes

 in Class Three / Design and Technology by

Class Three have had a busy week adapting recipes. We followed a basic shortbread recipe to learn the method. We then did a taste test, adding a range of ingredients to the shortbread recipe to see which flavours we enjoyed. Following this, the children designed their own shortbread, thinking carefully about their target audience. The children then made their own shortbread biscuits for the grown-ups at home. Finally, they thought carefully about packaging and designed a box for their shortbread including a company name.
