Our Wonderful Inquiry Work
Allan Ahlberg Class
Allan Ahlberg class have enjoyed exploring different types of technology this week. In our Maths learning, we have used iPad apps to support our learning of positional and directional language (up, down, left, right). We have also started to practise for our Sports Day, and used the Activity boards in the hall to support us in developing our team work skills as we had to cheer on the other children in our group. As a class, we were also lucky to have a lady come in to teach us Music, and we found that it is very hard to feel sad when you’re dancing!
JK Rowling
Year 4 have had a very busy start to the term! To kick off our inquiry, we have investigated animals that include humans, specifically focusing on the digestive system. We worked together to complete an investigation which demonstrated the process of digestion. Using some biscuits, bananas, sandwich bags and tights, we were able to model how food is processed in our bodies. It was quite messy, but helped us to understand our digestive systems. Following this, the children wrote a brilliant explanation text using their scientific vocabulary to share their ideas. Well done Year 4 for being so knowledgeable!
School information
Cream Teas
KS2 got to enjoy their Jubilee Celebration Cream Tea with their parents Thursday and Friday in the first week back in module 6.
Thank you so much to Marie Rogers who made the cream teas that the parents were able to purchase, they were really scrummy and enjoyed by all.
PE Reminder
A polite reminder to please remove earrings from any of the children on PE days. Due to health and safety regulations children are not able to take part in their PE lessons if they are wearing earrings. We understand some children have new ear piercings that are healing and whilst they cannot remove their earrings, they will not be able to take part in PE lessons until they are able to be removed. If you have any concerns around this please do speak to the class teacher.
