We had a fantastic science lesson learning all about our senses. We used mystery feely bags to explore our sense of touch and use adjectives to describe the objects. We carried out a blind smelling test to see if we could identify the different smells. For taste, we tried different foods and discovered sweet, salty and sour tastes. We looked around and used our sense of sight to describe what we could see and sat very still to see what we could hear.
The children have settled in really well and have been working hard. They love exploring the areas of provision inside and outside and completing the challenges and have demonstrated their problem solving and resilience skills. Here are some of our photographs so far.
Class 2 have had a lovely day at the Lakeland Motor Museum, on the steam train and on the ferry to Bowness! This has started our history topic on transport from the past!
Class One and Two had a fabulous time at Brathay this week! The children took part in a range of exciting activities, including canoeing, climbing walls and poles, woodland adventures, and bushcraft. They showed great determination, teamwork, and resilience as they tackled new challenges. Despite the wet weather, everyone had lots of fun and made many wonderful memories.
Last week, we celebrated the birthday of David Attenborough by creating informative posters all about his life and work. We learned about how he helps people understand the importance of looking after our planet and protecting wildlife.
The posters were a fantastic way to begin our new environment topic in school over the next couple of weeks. We enjoyed researching facts, designing eye-catching layouts and sharing ideas about how we can help care for the Earth.
Class 2 have made their very own pouches! This fit in perfectly with our money work in maths. First, we practised our sewing skills by learning how to do a running stitch. Then we carefully cut our fabric and sewed the pieces together to create our pouch shapes.
Class 2 had a fantastic adventure in the woods, where creativity was in full swing! The children were challenged to transform an ordinary stick into something completely different using their imaginations. From magical wands to brave swords and even very large sea creatures, the ideas were endless. We then added extra accessories to bring our creations to life before sharing them with each other. Can you guess what our sticks turned into?
A huge well done to all of our Y2/3/4 pupils who performed their dance ‘The Epic Adventure’ on stage at the Brewery Arts annual dance platform event on Tuesday. The children have been working so hard on their performance and have been participating in Miss Heaton’s weekly dance club, supported by Ashleigh from the Brewery Arts dance team. The children thoroughly enjoyed their time on the stage and are already looking forward to taking part next year!
Class 2 had a fabulous time learning all about Beatrix Potter and the different animals that she used when writing her books. We then continued our day at Brockholes where we played games, did a Beatrix Potter hunt, had dinner and played on the park.
To start the year, Class 2 have been learning all about different materials in science. We have been exploring what objects are made from and thinking carefully about their properties.
Over the past two weeks, we have begun investigating the different properties of materials. Last week, we carried out an exciting experiment to find out which objects would sink and which would float!
Before testing each object, we made predictions and discussed our ideas. We talked about whether the material it was made from might affect what happened in the water. The children were fantastic at explaining their thinking and using scientific vocabulary.
