Separating materials
Y5 are continuing their learning about materials. We have been separating different mixtures of materials using a range of processes; including sieving, magnetism and decanting.
When children are healthy, happy and safe, curiosity is ignited and learning is optimised. In this section, you will find out what children in school and nursery have been learning this week.

In year 4 we are learning about what happened after the Romans. Who invaded Britain? Why? How?
Today we focused on ordering and sequencing events after AD43 onto our own timeline.
Last week, Year 1 we're using crocodiles to understand our 'greater than' and 'less than' stem sentences. We really enjoyed using the crocodiles and now understand that they are very greedy and always want to eat the greater number!
Year 3 have been learning to identify the major bones in the human skeleton. We learnt all the scientific names for each bone and then worked cooperatively to build a model skeleton.
This week, the Reception class have been reading 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff'. We decided to have a go at building bridges of our own and looked at lots of different examples of bridges to help us. The children used a range of equipment and then thought about how they could test the bridges to see how strong they were. These investigations will carry on into next week.
Children have enjoyed our Welly Wanderers sessions this week in Nursery. They explored the wood, played on the swing and loved their hot chocolate at story time!
Year 3 have been learning about the Stone Age. We have looked at cave paintings and used charcoal and pastels to recreate our own Stone Age art!
In Year 5 we have been thinking about our knowledge of states of matter, including solids, liquids and gases. We learnt how molecules behave differently depending on their state and acted as molecules ourselves!
This week, the Reception class have continued to explore the story 'We're going on a bear hunt'. We tried to experience all of the things that the family did on their bear hunt. The children looked closely at the swishy swashy grass, they talked about what water felt like and they made some squelchy squerchy mud! We visited the little forest school area and acted out the whole story.
This week in year 4 we have been curious about how we digest our food. We co-operated in teams to create a live model of how this works! We had great fun and can explain the process really well now!
The Reception class have had a fantastic week and have all settled in very quickly. Our topic this half term is 'Let's explore'. We have explored the school grounds and got very wet in the process! We have also been reading 'We're going on a bear hunt' and have started to create a large collage map of the family's journey. Here are some photographs of what we have created so far.
Year 3 have had a wonderful afternoon at our Mexican themed party. We enjoyed preparing and eating tacos. We listened to music and loved the glitter bar! Have a great summer holiday everyone!
