We have been learning to draw on the computers.

Today we sorted toys into old and new which the children loved! Some children that they “preferred the old toys as they are new to us”.

When we came back from our Christmas break we noticed a strange circular mark on the grass so we went to go and have a look. The next day Mr Mack found CCTV footage of an alien landing at our school! The children have been very excited about this and enjoyed making predictions about who the alien might be, why he is at our school and what he wants.

For our longitudinal study in Science we will be observing our school field in each season to see what we notice about the similarities and differences between the seasons. We explored with our magnifying glasses, and found in Autumn, acorns, orange leaves on the floor, worms and much more!

The children started the week in our computer suite creating and painting their own landscapes of The Great Fire of London. The children had to overcome many obstacles: how to move the mouse, which button to click on and how to undo a demand! That paired with 27°c heat, the pressure was a bit too much for some! Alas, all children managed to create digital art that they are all proud of.

Capacity Is the word for maths this week! The children have been exploring which container had the biggest capacity. They have also solved problems, such as if I pour 1 litre of water into a different 1 litre container will I still have 1 litre?

For RE we learnt all about the story of The Sinful Woman. We know that it was polite to offer the guests a bowl of water to wash their hands and feet when going to dinner. But Simon did not offer this to Jesus, instead the sinful woman washed Jesus’ feet with her tears. The children imagined they were having dinner with Jesus and washed their feet to start off the learning for RE.

The children then acted out the story, creating a freeze frame.
