Practical Learning…

Hello,

We hope you are all enjoying the wonderful weather.

This week, the children have enjoyed a range of practical and ‘real life’ experiences across the curriculum. On Thursday 6th July, Year Three took part in a Healthy Eating visit to Oaklands Catholic School. Across the day, the children worked in teams to produce a healthy 3 course meal that they served to their parents after school. The trip was a brilliant success and we would like to thank all members of staff who volunteered as well as all parents for their support of the children after school. Please see the photos below…

The children have also enjoyed learning through practical experiences in other subjects. For example, in Maths, they have measured and compared mass, capacity and length through measuring sand (g and Kg), water (ml and L) as well as lengths of string (mm, cm and m) in the school playground. Both classes enjoyed working in groups to carry out measurements from their challenge cards. Please see the photos below…

In English, the children have continued their work towards their Healthy Eating topic. Both classes have now produced their own persuasive and engaging letter about Healthy Eating. The children also enjoyed writing their own Thank You letters, to the teachers who had led the Year 3 cooking activities at Oaklands Catholic School.

 

We hope you all have an excellent weekend,

Miss Honeywell and Mr Austin.
