Maple
In Maple, we have been exploring doubling and odds and evens, using various resources to support our understanding. Year R have also created beautiful Spring themed artwork using different media, whereas Year 1 have experimented with line and shape, applying this when drawing London landmarks from memory.
Rowan
Rowan class have been using floor robots in computing. They have been creating their own algorithms and trying them out on our Bee-Bots. They then created their own maps and used their knowledge to challenge each other to move around their map using an algorithms. They really enjoyed testing out their ideas on the Bee-Bots and showed their resilience and persistence when they had to debug their programme.
Birch
Children in KS2 were treated to a fabulous concert my the MishMash trio, who came into school to perform as part of our exciting and diverse music curriculum. The trio, featuring the flute, clarinet and oboe, played a range of lively classical tunes which were well received by the appreciative audience. In the afternoon, Birch Class participated in a special workshop with Tim, Poppy and Pedro. We are so looking forward to seeing them again at Turner Sims on Monday!
Sycamore
Sycamore Class took part in a brilliant trip to the River Itchen in Winchester. They took part in a pond dipping exercise to answer the question, “How healthy is the River Itchen?” It seems the answer is very healthy as they found more than 100 creatures living on or near to the river! This was an exciting trip to add to our Stanmore Enrichment Curriculum.
Aspen
Aspen have been writing a news article about the invasion of the Bluchers, describing the events from our book called "Boy in the Tower.
Year 6
As a culmination to their learning in French, year 6 took part in a fashion show this week where the children had to introduce each other and describe, in French, what they were all wearing. The children walked the catwalk and tried really hard to pronounce each French word accurately. Thank you to Winchester College for all your support in teaching our year 6 children French.
We also started our new English unit - The Lady of Shallot - and the children started by exploring how rumours are spread and how they can be changed from person to person.
