Maple
After watching Paddington bear meet the Queen at Buckingham Palace, Maple class made marmalade sandwiches. They were delicious (although a little sour for some) and the children wrote instructions in case anyone else wanted to try. They also made new crowns for the King in case Paddington should pop in for tea again!
Rowan
Fantastic Freeze Frames!
Rowan class have been loving their new English text, Clem and the Crab over the last two weeks. We have been learning about protecting the environment and cleaning up litter that may affect the animals. We created freeze frames of scenes within the book so we could get into our characters shoes and understand their thoughts and feelings. We used our Confidence to perform our freeze frames in front of the entire class. Amazing as always!
Birch
Children in Birch Class enjoyed a chilly walk around the local area this afternoon as part of their geography topic. With a focus on land use, the children used a 'Stanmore Spotter' to find places on their route, which included a break at the outdoor gym at the Carroll Centre! They will be using this knowledge to create a display of the different ways in which land is used in Stanmore.
Sycamore
Sycamore Class have been studying 'King of the Cloud Forest' by Michael Morpurgo. We have enjoyed the first part of the story, but we left it on a cliffhanger, where Ashley has been found in the middle of the Himalayas by some strange, hairy creatures...! This has stimulated high quality descriptive writing and means that we can now create our own endings to the story.
Aspen
This week in Aspen, the children wrote a narrative using our current book "The Misadventures of Frederick" for their SOA. The focus was to use speech to advance the story.
Year 6
In year 6, the children have put their best feet forwards and have showed flair in their musical dance abilities, whilst planning and teaching sequences from famous musical theatre shows in PE.
In science, they have worked together to create and analyse series circuits using a range of different electrical components.
