​In year one, they have been learning about the 4 countries in the UK and the surrounding seas. They used a map to identify where they are within the United Kingdom.
​In year two, they have been learning about Space. They learnt about the History of Space Science and the astronauts that went into Space. They looked at the Space race between Russia and America. They learnt about Sputnik, the first satellite that went into Space.

Year 3 have been learning about Brazil. They found out information about the physical and human features that they would find if they visited Brazil. They then wrote postcards pretending to be in Brazil, sharing the cultural life that they would see if they visited there. 

​Year 4 have been learning about Natural Disasters. They found out information about earthquakes and volcanoes. They labelled the different parts and then learnt about why they happen.

In year 5, they have been learning about the Maya period. They were looking at what signalled the end for the Maya Civilisation. They looked at the different events and factors that would have cause this. They then created a News report of what they think happened, using all the knowledge the learnt over their Maya lessons. 
​Year 6 have been learning about the Ancient Greeks. Children had to research about Parthenon on iPads. Then using the information they found out, they made their own; making sure it was structurally sound.

What’s been going on in 5CP? 
 
In English, we have trying to discover what happened to the Year 5 Morpekos (The adults collect Pokémon cards with the children). They suddenly just disappeared at lunch and we cannot find them. The classes looked at some CCTV evidence and we have been listing the suspects we thought might have stolen them I thought it was either Mrs Jarvis, Mr Barry Gregory or Mr Powell. Also, we prepared some questions for Mrs Bates as to what she might do if a teacher was found guilty. 
In Maths, Mr Palser’s class and Mr Haywood’s class have swapped classes. We have been turning decimals into fractions and turning fractions into decimals. We have been considering the value of numbers beyond the decimal point into the thousandths column. 
In PE we have been playing cricket and practicing catching to see how many we can get without dropping it and we do this in groups of three at random. When I dis it with Pheobe and Mya (in 5NB) we got to 200 without dropping it. We then practised our bowling technique where we had to keep our arm straight and aim for the stumps. After that, we got to bat as well!

Across the school this week, all year groups have been working hard in maths.

Year 6 have discovered algebra and have learnt how easy and fun it is to use formula to explain a rule and how to work out the answer to one-step equations.
Picture
​Year 5 have been converting fractions to decimals, problem solving by working out fractions of amounts and then converting the answers into decimals. 
Picture
​Year 4 have been learning about area (pupils are first introduced to the concept of area in Year 4) and how to work out the area of a space or shape. They used post-it notes to develop their understanding of the amount of space area takes and that area can be many different shapes.
Picture
​Year 3 have been looking at measurement and have been working on efficient methods of calculation, so that they can make informed choices when problem solving with measurements.
Picture
​Y1 have had a fun and exciting practical week learning about capacity. They have been outside with jugs of varying sizes and water and rice. They have been reading the scales on the measuring jugs to see what the capacity is and estimating how many cups of liquid are needed to fill different containers.

Outdoor Learning Club

This term, some of the year 2 children have joined the Outdoor Learning Club. What fun we’ve had so far!
 In our first week, we started off using the binoculars to look at the various birds that were flying around. We saw four blue tits, a robin, some starlings and the resident parakeets (who often come and join our club, watching us from their favourite tree in our school garden). We listened to some of the different bird songs, while Mrs Smith explained how the starling was mimicking the other birds we could hear.
We’ve also been using the mud kitchen in the outdoor learning area.

​The bug hunt was another exciting activity. The children enjoyed looking under logs and using magnifying glasses to look for bugs. Some children used the identification sheets to work out which bugs they had seen under the logs. There were so many woodlice and different worms hiding there.
Picture
​This week, we have been looking for signs of spring in our small garden area.
Mrs Smith has helped the children name the spring flowers that are growing.
The children spotted crocus, primroses, hyacinths and wall flowers.

​Also starting to grow again are our herbs.  The children smelt the mint, oregano and sage plants. Then we discussed where we might use them.
We are all really looking forward to finding out more in our outdoor learning club as we experience the joy and wonder of springtime.

Year 1 Blog From Miss Hobbs

​This term year 1 have been focusing on their five senses. This week they focused on the sense ‘smell’ and carried out an experiment to predict what item was in a box. The children were brilliant at guessing what was inside the box just by using their sense of smell, where they got almost all items correct!

Furthermore,  Year 1 have been focusing on measurement. They have been comparing length and height using everyday objects and using the language, long, longer, short, shorter, tall and taller to compare a range of objects in the classroom. After this, they were introduced to measuring everyday objects using a ruler. They learnt to start measuring from 0cm and rounded their answers to the nearest whole number.
In addition, year 1 have began looking at weight and mass. They discussed the words heavy and light and looked around the classroom for objects and described them using the correct language. They then found two objects and demonstrated which object is heaver and which is lighter using their arms to resemble a weighing scale.
learnt to compare length and height. We used everyday objects to understand and compare length and height. We used the words long, longer, short, shorter, tall, taller to compare the object.
 

 
​Lastly, 1CH would like to say a HUGE thankyou and goodbye to Miss Heffron. You are truly going to be missed.
