A wonderful time was had by all on our visit to the woods at Humblescough Farm. The children enjoyed working in teams to make waterproof dens, cooked S’Mores on the fire, made Japanese art, played hide and seek, designed clay models and learnt how to use flint and steel to make fires! 
It stayed…

The class had a very productive morning learning about how to provide first aid when they are at home or out and about with their friends. 
 

They learnt about burns, head bumps, choking wounds, bleeding and breaks and what to do if they have to deal with someone who is unconscious.

This week the children have started a science experiment to see if they were right in their predictions about what a plant needs to be able to grow. They put two Broad Bean seeds into a bag with water and kitchen roll and then I stuck them into the window. Separately, we have denied one seed water…

They learnt that an algorithm is a set of clear and precise instructions. Instructions should be…

Using Lego bricks to create prints the children experiments creating patterns, combining colours and creating pictures. They created the new colours by overlapping prints and aimed to work carefully and accurately to create their prints. 
 

The children put their understanding of colour mixing into practise to recreate their own versions of the artwork ‘0-9’ Numbers in Colour created by the artist Jasper Johns in 1958-59.
 

They looked closely at Jasper’s work deciding what the subject was (numbers and primary colours) and then…

The children investigated how to mix primary colours to make secondary ones …

Our design and technology project this half term has been learning about structures. The children have made windmills out of paper cups and showed great problem solving skills as they worked out how to stop their windmills falling over in the wind and how to construct them. So much great learning…
