This week in Year One, we have been focusing on measurement. We have been using various resources to measure and compare length and height. We have also been measuring outside! We used metre sticks to measure a 10m track and then timed each other running the track.
Today Year 4 went on a trip to the Potteries Museum in Hanley to see the Staffordshire Hoard and make Saxon pottery!
Then we made our own Saxon helmets.
In the afternoon we made pinch pots. 
It was a brilliant trip and all paid for out of our enterprise money!
Today in Nursery we have been super busy!
Whilst listening to classical music we drew on a large piece of paper how it made us feel. We talked to our friends if the music made us feel sad, happy or even excited.
We also talked about what colour crayon we would like and also how we should be holding it.
After we had drawn what the music made us feel we had to use our listening ears to listen to the instructions Miss Langford gave us!
We drew big circles and zigzag lines.
Yesterday, we spent the afternoon exploring our new topic which is all about animals. We discussed pets that we had and created bar charts to reflect pets in Year One. Those of us with pets completed a descriptive piece of writing about them. We also discussed what we would like to learn in the new topic and what we already know about animals. Some of us also had a go at sorting animals into groups.
We had a brilliant time making colour wheels as part of our light topic. We were all amazed to find that when we spun the wheel that all you could see was white…
On Thursday morning, year 4,5 and 6 went to Crewe Lyceum to perform a Broadway and Motown medley. A special thank you to Miss Booth for helping us to learn all of the words and movements to the songs.
Wow- we had a super last afternoon of the half term. We learned all about ratio and proportion and then put our skills to the test to make mocktails. We were given 4 different juices to choose from and had to measure then find the percentage, fraction and then the ratio. We finally got to test our new creations.. Some of us enjoyed and some didn’t.
Have a fab Easter!
Last Friday, we held our Staff vs Pupils football matches, all in aid of Sport Relief. We had a fantastic turnout of players (both pupils and staff) and amazing support from pupil and parents.
We managed to raise just over £420!! Thank you so much for everyone’s support, it was a very enjoyable evening for staff and pupils alike (as well as lots of sore teachers over the weekend!)
In our Science lesson yesterday, we learnt about a few different types of trees. We then went to see if we could find any of the trees in the school grounds, by matching the leaves to our key.
Nursery have been very busy cooking up some lovely Easter treats! We worked on our physical development by stirring our treats and pouring the chocolate into the mold. We were very careful making sure that our chocolate went into the mold and not the table! We also picked the colour of our cases for our Easter nests.
Class 2 had a great time sharing a wonderful breakfast (that they had made) with their parents this morning. Over the week, they have been busy making their very own lighthouses, baking breakfast muffins, flapjacks and scones and making lunch boxes, all linked to our text ‘The Lighthouse Keeper’s Lunch’. They loved sharing their great achievements with all the Mums, Dads and Grandparents.
Class 4 have not only got Purple Blue Peter Badges…. But today Diamond Badges started to arrive!
Baking, story telling and 10s and 1s using concrete objects (Counters and us!)
Last week was Science Week! We all loved it – we had so much fun and learnt a lot! We completed various Science tasks and activities to earn our ‘Crest Award’. We were all super scientists!
