Year 5 have started forest school sessions with Miss Jones. We have enjoyed den building and creating bug hotels. We used the knives safely to sharpen sticks to use as tent pegs. We are looking forward to starting fires in our sessions soon.
This afternoon, Reception and Year One enjoyed a local woodland walk. We discussed the features of the wood, how it felt and what we could hear. We compared it to the rainforest.
We have investigated missing numbers.
Year 4 and 5 had a great couple of days at Oaker wood! We enjoyed lots of different activities like rafting, low ropes, monkey climb, zip line, puzzles, toasting marshmallows, playing games around the campfire and eating chicken nuggets and chips!
Year 5 and 6 had a visit from the RAF museum, where they had a go at creating their own rockets. They had to think about their design to see which one would travel the longest distance. We went on to the field to launch the rockets by pumping up pressure into their launching machine. The second activity was following instructions to make a hopper using the lego spike resources. We had a great morning!
For the first time ever, we entered the Book Slam reading competition: it is a fun reading challenge for primary school children. One group worked on 2 books; one was to be discussed with a judge in a Teams meeting, the other needed a promotional video to be made for it. They worked hard to create their video independently using different software, and the Teams discussion went well despite feeling nervous! Da iawn!
We had great fun completing VE Day Lego Challenge cards. We chose who we worked with and which challenge we wanted to complete. We made celebration cakes, peace gardens, spitfires, Union Jack flags and old-fashioned radios. We have shown that we have great construction skills!
Today we were excited and honoured to be joined in school by ninety-nine year old War veteran Christopher Price. He answered questions asked of him by Years Two, Three and Six. Pupils learned of his experiences in the Second World War as he gave us a valuable insight as to what life was like. Diolch Christopher!
Easter Competition
We have been learning about the relationship between multiplication and division. We used a range of resources to help us solve some work problems.
