Designing Maps
This week, Year 1 have been looking at maps. We learnt the directions North, South, East and West and directed our friends to find objects on a map. Then we had a go at making our own! Well done Year 1!
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.

The Reception class have been thinking about cooperation. When we visited the forest school site, we thought about how we cooperate in our play. The children made sure that they included others in their games and worked together to create dens and camp fires.
In Geography this week Year 3 have been learning all about the differences between physical and human features. We worked in groups to sort each picture card and created a poster to display our understanding.
For RE in Year 4 we have been discovering what the 'Trinity' is and have designed our own trinity symbols. We can't wait to take these to Broseley Church when we visit on October 19th!
This week, Year 1 have been looking at the life stages of a human. We learnt that we start as a baby, turn into a toddler, next we become a child, then grow to be a teenager, next we become an adult and finally we become the elderly. Year 1 did at great job at working co-operatively to show these life stages on their timelines!
Good morning from all the Year 6 children at Arthog. The children have been enjoying an action packed week, we can't wait to hear all about your adventures when you return!
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.
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!
