Shapes, Stomp and Speak Out Stay Safe!

Maple

Children in Maple Class Y1 have been learning about 3D shapes. They were challenged to build the tallest tower that they could and talk about which shapes were the best for tower building. 

In Year R, children are showing off their phonics skills by spelling words and learning about circles and triangles in maths.

Rowan

This week Rowan have been working hard to count the sides and vertices of 2D shapes. The children had lots of fun making the shapes in different ways and making patterns with them. Whilst they were doing this, they noticed that the number of sides a 2D shape has is the same as the number of vertices

Birch

In science, Birch have been thinking about animals with different types of skeletons. We learnt about vertebrates and invertebrates and thought about how we can identify animals with endoskeletons and exoskeletons before sorting some unknown animals into groups

Sycamore

This week, Sycamore Class have transformed into musical maestros! They have used their junk modelling instruments to channel the skills of “Stomp: The Musical” to join together to form a band to create a short musical arrangement. 

Aspen

This week Aspen class has a special visit from the NSPCC, learning about how to speak out and stay safe. It was a valuable visit and inspired the children to use their voice and encourage others to speak out and stay safe. We always encourage children to have five trusted adults that they can speak to about their worries or concerns. They were incredible during the session. 

We also had a wonderful trip to Winchester College this week to have a wildlife talk from the Hawk Conservancy Trust. Once again, their behaviour was impeccable during the visit. 

Elm

This week in year 6 we have been drawing on our Maafa knowledge and connecting this with our Trailblazer artwork. The children researched Maafa inspired artwork or took inspiration from other trailblazer artists to create their own. Some children used red, black and green portrayed in 'Union Black'  whilst others used 'No Woman, No Cry' by Chris Ofili.
