This week in music, the children have been using the charanga apps to create their own beats using percussion. This ties in with our learning in music this half term - which has been focused on rhythm, beat and pulse in songs. Whilst much of what we have already done has been played with real…

We are very excited to share that some of the children in Middle school have finished their cars in DT! They have carefully measured and cut out cardboard panels for the body of the car to make them as streamlined and aerodynamic as possible. 

These are just the first few cars that have been…

The children have thoroughly enjoyed experimenting with metallic wax crayons and Brusho crystal colours. They drew the natural objects, leaves, that they had studied last week in metallic wax crayons using the skills they have learnt in previous weeks. 

This week I introduced them to wax resist…

Children came in to sit on the furs around a fire where they listened to the sounds of the forest. 
Next, we learned about Skara Brae and how archaeologists find primary and secondary…

Here is a gallery of some of the brilliant work and learning the children have been doing in their science lessons over the past few weeks. We have learnt that light travels in straight lines, that we see things because light reflects from objects and into our eyes, that light reflects from shiny…

Middle school have explored internet safety as part of their computing lessons this week. 
Children have considered what is safe to post online and who we should share information with. Children also considered how we can tell if something online is real or not! Everyone signed a 'safer internet'…
