Spring
Spring Term 2
Spring Term 2 is upon us and it is certainly beginning to feel more 'Springy'! In English, we are thinking about character and setting in a range of film clips and texts, making use of noun phrases, a variety of sentence types and adverbials. In Maths we are looking at fractions, decimals and percentages as well as measure and converting. In Science, we are investigating animal and plants and classifying them. In History, we continue with Ancient Greeks. In DT, we are designing and making a phone/i-pad case using sewing skills and in Music, we are learning how to play the keyboard! In PE, it is dance and skittleball and in RE we continue to look at a range of religions and ask the question 'Why is there suffering?'
Blackpool trip to hear the National Youth Orchestra
What a marvellous way to spend our first day of this half term! A trip to Blackpool Tower Ballroom to hear the National Youth Orchestra perform a range of music, including classical pieces and film music. We loved the Ballroom! We were lucky to have great seats where we were able to observe the full orchestra. The children loved the harps and the massive bass drum and cheered throughout.
World Book Day
Spring Term 1
Welcome to Spring Term 1 and we are raring to go! In English, we will be looking at a classic novel - The Call of the Wild - by Jack London. We will be using an abridged, modern version of the text and some excerpts from the film. In Maths, we are learning to add, subtract, multiply and divide fractions as well as finding fractions of shape and amounts. In History, we study the Ancient Greeks. In Science, we are learning about classifying animals and in Art we are focussing on the post-impressionists including Henri Rousseau. In Music we will be improvising and in PE, we will be focussing on ball games and gymnastics. In RE, we are looking at how places can foster spirituality and in PSHE we will be thinking about Dreams and Goals.
Visit by the R.N.L.I.
We had a lovely afternoon with representatives from the R.N.L.I. who came to chat to use about water safety, how to call them in time of need and to show us some of the work they have carried out over the past year in Morecambe Bay. It was great fun and some of the children were able to dress up in some of their waterproof clothing and helmets!
