Welcome to Nightingale Class

We had a fantastic time at the S.S. Great Britain on Wednesday. The children really enjoyed the trip and had great fun discovering Brunel's marvellous inventions. Here are some photos of the trip:

Another fantastic library trip today...

This week was our STEM week and for our class challenge, the children had to make a marble run that would run a marble in the slowest time possible. The children had to think about angles of slopes and the best way to guide the marble down to make the slowest run. It was really tricky, but great fun. The children were totally absorbed in the lesson all afternoon.

Welcome to Miss Munday!

All of our lovely Geography week work is on display in the hall. It looks amazing. I am so proud of you, Nightingale Class. Come on in and have a look!

We have been looking at the wonderful country of Iceland in our Geography week. The children learned all about the country and found out some amazing facts about Iceland. Ask them and see what they remember. We also had a go at creating our own aurora borealis, the Northern Lights. The children rose to this challenge and created some absolutely stunning pictures. Here they are...

As a part of our Geography and Eco week, we have been looking at the importance of recycling and keeping our environment tidy. We had a go at doing some litter picking. Naughty Mr Munro decided to litter the playground! Luckily, the children were there to help tidy up the mess. They had great fun!

We have been having fun reminding ourselves about colour mixing and which Primary colours make which Secondary colours.

Well, the end of another term. Well done to all of Nightingale Class for the hard work you have done and well done to you parents too. Thank you for my gift, it was most generous! Wine and books are my two most favourite things in the world!

Have a great Christmas and a happy New Year!

We have had great fun in our DT lesson this week. We made a moving monster out of card and split pins. The children learned about pivots, linkages and levers. 

Another successful trip to the Library where we had some lovely Christmas stories read to us before we chose some more books. We also spotted our stained glass windows around the high street!

We have had such fun in our Maths and Art week. We have been looking at lines of symmetry and origami. We had a go at making origami cicadas, finger puppets and aeroplanne gliders. We learned that we need to have good lines of symmetry for our origami to work well.

Library trip and Yoga... in one day!!!!

What a busy day we've had in Nightingale Class! First, we went to the Library and had great fun listening to some stories and then we got to choose our own book to take back to the classroom. Straight after that, we had a fun and relaxing yoga session. The children listened really well and we played some really exciting games. 

In our science today, we had fun engaging in scientific inquiry. Here, we asked the question: Do older children have bigger heads than younger ones? 

We had a go at predicting what our findings might prove and then we conducted an experiment. We took a child from EYFS, Year 2, Year 4 and Year 6 and then measured their heads. Here was our conclusion!

We have finished our amazing Picasso self-portraits. They look absolutely amazing. Well done, Nightingale Class!

We had great fun with our Taekwondo session. The children really enjoyed learning about the moves. They did really well.  

Our Cauliflower cards are finished. The children listened really well to the instructions and produced some beautiful cards!

It has been a busy day! we have had great fun in our music lesson today. We had a go at playing tunes with the xylophones. It was noisy and fun.

We have been super writers this week. We have been looking at the story of George and the Dragon. The children have been finding out about writing narratives and how they have a beginning, middle and end. They have been rewriting the story of George and the Dragon. On Tuesday, they wrote the beginning... Wednesday, they wrote the middle and today they are writing the end. They have all worked REALLY hard and have written a lot of words. I am really pleased with them.

We have been learning about team work in our PE sessions on Thursday. Today we played a story game in an enchanted wood where the fairies and pixies had to weave a fairy ring around their circle. They then had to use the fairy rings to try to move across the forest floor. They worked really well as a team and thought hard about how to best work as an effective team.
