Take a look at our latest news happening in school at the moment.

• Year 2: ICT

  Mon 30 Jan 2023 Louise Chapman

  This week in ICT, Year 2 have been taking steps to further their understanding using Turtle Logo and Scratch. They had to create a set of instructions that matched their objective. The children thoroughly enjoyed focusing on sound and movement as they were allowed to experiment with the sounds! 

  

• Year 6: Science

  Fri 27 Jan 2023 Louise Chapman

  This term, Year 6 are learning all about electricity and conducting lots of practical experiments. This week, we have had a go at building a simple circuit and memorising the scientific symbol for each part.  We all really enjoyed having a go and making the bulb light up. 

  

• Year 4: History

  Fri 27 Jan 2023 Louise Chapman

  On Tuesday in our history lesson, we learned about how the Romans reinvented the way the Celts made roads.  We now understand the process the Romans followed in making their roads and how they were so successful, some of these roads still exist today!

  We looked at a map to see where Roman roads once were and where they can still be seen today.  We recognised that the more roads that ran through a town, the more important that town must have been for trading and moving legions to and from.

   

  To show our understanding, we created our own cross-sections of Roman roads using different materials to show the different layers. Miss Hayward then inspected our models as if she were Julius Caesar, searching for the best road builders for the empire!

  This week in ICT, children in Year 5 have been deepening their understanding of algorithms and how they function through exploring flowcharts. The children successfully created flowcharts for a variety of everyday tasks, such as playing their favourite video game! They showed a secure knowledge of actions, decisions and related outcomes and they look forward to building on their learning in the coming weeks.
