YEAR 6’S I HAVE A DREAM ASSEMBLY

30th November 2022C Campbell

 

Year 6 produced a very thoughtful assembly today to celebrate our learning within our ‘I Have a Dream’ theme.

We shared our learning about slavery, apartheid and segregation; the children also celebrated the achievements and legacy of Martin Luther King through the eyes of a child who witnessed his famous 1963 speech.

The children spoke confidently and it was clear that they have thought clearly about the important themes within this unit of work.

Thanks to all of our parents, carers and other family members who came along too – we hope you enjoyed it!

1 Red love the Inuits

18th November 2022L Chisholm

This week we have been learning about what the Inuit people eat and how their clothes are made.  We looked at the materials they use in their every day life and created our own Inuit collage using the material that we thought was best suited for that weather.

Reception – Come Fly With Me Asia! We are off to India!

17th November 2022K Richardson

In our theme ‘Come Fly With Me Asia’ we have travelled to India. We looked at some artefacts and placed a Bindi on our foreheads. We have been trying out some Bollywood dancing and found out about the ceremony of Rakhi.  The children then made some Rakhi bracelets and we have started to make Indian flags 🇮🇳. We also investigated some of the spices used in traditional Indian foods. The children used their senses to look at, smell and taste them. We were so impressed that most children wanted to try them!

Come Fly With Me Asia – Our first trip was to China!

5th November 2022K Richardson

As part of our Learning Means the a World theme, ‘Come Fly With me Asia’ we have been looking at China, it’s culture, traditions and what you might see if you visit. We looked at the Chinese Zodiac and the 12 animals that represented each year. The children in our class were born in either the year of the ‘dog’ or ‘rooster’. We went outdoors and raced against each other using the 12 animal masks to see who won each time. The children were great sports and had lots of fun. They have also been looking at Chinese writing and having a go! We also have a Chinese restaurant that the children are visiting regularly!

 

Reception Harvest Festival – no social media

5th November 2022K Richardson

We have been learning about the Harvest Festival, why we traditionally have this festival in the UK and why. We then looked at various foods including fruit and vegetables and where they come from.  The children used their senses to describe how they looked, felt and  smell. They then became artists and drew some of the foods! Later, we will be tasting some vegetable soup!

 

Year 4’s Blazing Beacons.

5th October 2022M Reilly

This week in LMTW we have been learning how circuits work. The children learned about how the national beacons are lit across the country to mark important events for the Monarchy and the country. The children have recreated the lighting of the beacons by making a large circuit system that was lit using batteries, switches and bulbs.
