Computing
The Moon Landing
Year 1 have continued their History work of the Moon Landing and linked it with their computing project 'Digital Broadcaster'.
We have selected images from the moon landing, put them into the correct order to show a timeline of events before and during the moon landing. The children worked in pairs to narrate their pictures, sharing what happened when the Eagle landed on the moon.

Book Creator
Year 5 have finally finished their amazing science ebooks using the Book Creator App. Take a look at some of the work they produced - they were able to add pictures, photographs, videos and sound clips to show their understanding of solids, liquids and gases.

Tell Me a Story
Marwa and Sveta used Adobe Spark to re-tell the story from their Guided Reading book.
A Seed Story
To celebrate World Book Day, year 3 learnt a poem called A Seed Story. We explored the language in the poem and created our own versions of a seed story. We then spent time illustrating the poem. This learning linked to our Science topic and children were able to draw and explain the lifecycle of a plant. During the afternoon, we used our computing lesson to create the life cycle using animation. Please click here to watch our videos.
Final Designs
We have completed the final designs of our gingerbread houses. Children have worked for six weeks to practice, plan, create and edit their gingerbread houses in pairs using Sketch Up. This gingerbread house was designed and created by Dinisha and Levi in 3SA. Please join us for our class assembly after half term to see more of our fantastic designs linked to our Hansel and Gretel topic.
Safer Internet Day
We talked about the importance of consent online and what it means. We made posters to help to make the internet a safer place for ourselves.
Together for a Better Internet
In Year 5 we learnt about online permission and consent. We also learnt about dealing with tricky situations involving friends - how do you say no without falling out? We took part in quizzes, solved dilemmas and discussed our learning with each other.
Highlights of English in the Autumn term in Year 4
As well as writing our report on lions, Year 4 also used their computing and performance skills to present their information in the style of a nature documentary. Well done Year 4 - David Attenborough would be impressed! :) Keep an eye on the class page as more videos are uploaded.
Year 6 - Learning Journal Work
How incredible is this! Eesha made a VR (virtual reality) headset for her reading journal this week. Based on the book 'Trayaurus and the Enchanted Crystal' by YouTuber DanTDM.
Online Safety - Year 1
Year 1 have been using the story of Smartie the penguin to help us to keep safe online. In the story Smartie gets a new tablet for his birthday! He enjoys using it but then things start popping up on the screen, his brother uses a site that Smartie shouldn't be on, and some of his friends are unkind to him online. We talked about what Smartie should do in each scenario and agreed that the best thing to do is to tell a trusted adult. We used the chant "Before you tap and click, you need to stop and think, and tell someone" to help us to remember what to do if something happens to us online. We then spoke about who we would talk to if something happened to us online and drew posters of our trusted adults with the chant above.
