World Book Day 2024!

8th March 2024Leah Hockings

Year 5 have thoroughly enjoyed World Book day today, based on the famous author Roald Dahl!

We are blown away by the effort and creativity of the costumes and characters that our children have chosen to be this year, from the BFG, Matilda, Miss Trunchbull, Charlie Bucket, Willy Wonka and more!

We have spent the day doing lots of wonderful book related activities, especially reading (George’s Marvelous Medicine). Year 5 even created their own revolting recipes and mixed up a special concoction that had us “fizzing” with excitement.

We have hunted down Golden Tickets, went on a trail for book covers, played a class quiz and spent our afternoon trawling through Mr Twits’ disgusting spaghetti.

We cannot wait for next year already!

 

1 Red loved Williby Roc’s!

7th March 2024L Chisholm

This week year 1 spent some time with Williby Roc’s in our school garden. They listened to the story of Superworm then they went on a bug hunt. We then all created the signs ‘ACHIEVE’ and ‘TOGETHER’ which will form part of our school motto.

Reception’s Ticket To Ride!

28th January 2024K Richardson

Our current Learning Means The World theme is ‘Ticket To Ride!’  We have been using this throughout our learning.  In maths we have looked at numbers, 1 more and 1 less, number bonds, shape and positional language.  We have gone on magical train rides telling our friends where we would go and why.  We used our sounds and made transport words such as van, bus, truck, sub etc And of course some snowy fun!

 

May The Force Be With You!

We have just finished our current theme- May The Force Be With You. We have been learning all about forces. We have been learning about pushes, pulls, gravity and magnetism. We even created our own maths fishing game using magnets and paper clips.  We searched for magnetic and non- magnetic metals and recorded our findings on Venn diagrams. We also designed and made our own moving vehicle to investigate which surface would slow them down. It if safe to say we have all really enjoyed learning all about forces.

Friction Investigation

26th January 2024N Fada

7 Blue have thoroughly enjoyed our theme ‘May the Force be with you’ and learned all about forces.  They made a swing or a moving vehicle and recognised that you can make something start or stop moving when you push or pull it.  They really enjoyed setting up their own investigation to find out the effects friction had on a toy car travelling on different surfaces.  They found out that the smoother surfaces created less friction for the toy car and the rougher surfaces generated more friction.  The children considered how they were going to make the test fair and decided to make sure they started the car at the same point on the ramp and only changed the surface that the car travelled on. 

 

Fun with Forces and Magnets

26th January 2024N Fada

7 Blue have learned all about magnetic forces and the relevance of the magnetic North and South Pole. The children were able to predict whether two magnets would attract or repel each other based on which poles were facing each other then worked together to group a variety of materials based on whether they were magnetic or not. We had lots of fun making our own magnetic games to play too!  Well done 7 Blue scientists!

 

Exploring Erosion

12th January 2024s begum

In Science this week, we explored what erosion is. We carried out an experiment to see the effects of erosion using soil, sand and water. We also discussed how and why Marsden Rock has changed over time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Investigating Permeability

12th January 2024s begum

This week in Science, we have been looking at rocks. We started off the week by looking at different types of rocks and identifying whether they were igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic. Then we looked at permeability and carried out an experiment to see which rock was the most permeable and which was the least. We found out that sedimentary rocks were the most permeable rocks.
