Greenwich Trip Year 5

Wow! Year 5 have had an amazing time in Greenwich today. We learnt about the meridian line and Greenwich's most famous astronomers. We had an interactive lesson in a Planetarium. What an experience for them all. Did you know that there are over 200 moons in our solar system?

Curly's Farm

We fed and watered a variety of animals today. Collected eggs from the chickens. Watched pigs being injected and learnt about why they were receiving treatment. At the end of the day we were aloud to take home some fresh eggs from the farm too!

We got to hold and learn about the chicks that were 5 days old. 

Year 4 diorama projects

 

Year 2- IPC

The children IPC topic this term is ‘Live and Let Live’. Learning about living and non-living things. 

On Monday 20th June, the children visited Shorne Country Park. The children explored the pond area by using a net and seeing what creature they could find. 

Afterwards they were given the opportunity to draw the different creatures before releasing them back into the pond. Finally, we ended the day playing in the park area! 

 

Year 5 - IPC

In Year 5 we have been investigating and exploring famous Greek and Roman Art. Can you guess what we are doing? Greek Masks. The children have been learning about how masks were used for entertainment. They allowed the actors to express emotions and gender. The creations are incredible. 

Year 4- IPC

Today Year 4 started their new topic - Active Planet. We were tasked with making erupting volcanoes. First, we created the volcano using paper and a plastic bottle, then painted it to make it more realistic. After that, we made a solution of washing up liquid, bicarbonate soda and water and added this to the bottle. Once outside, we added red food dye and vinegar to cause our volcanoes to erupt!

Year 6 - IPC

Year 6 had a great start to the week by making potions. This was to prepare us for our instructional writing later in the week! We all planned and designed what our potions would do, how we would make them, and then used a range of ‘magical ingredients’ to see what they would look like! We also had a look at what reactions took place when we mixed certain ingredients together.We are pleased to say that all Year 6 pupils passed their first Potion Making Class at Hogwarts!
