To celebrate STEM Day, Meadow were given a challenge to plan and create a bird nest! They're mission was to ensure that birds' eggs were to be kept safe and warm in a nest. They worked really hard together as a team to create the shape and then to fill it using the correct materials such as twigs,…

To celebrate STEM Day, Rabbits were given a challenge to plan and create a bird nest! They're mission was to ensure that birds' eggs were to be kept safe and warm in a nest. They worked really hard together as a team to create the shape and then to fill it using the correct materials such as…

The children have been exploring different shapes, colours and patterns on our interactive whiteboard. 
 

We have had lots of fun making marble runs during our STEM day! We have been competing to make the slowest marble run. We have worked in teams to create some AMAZING marble runs and the children are very proud of themselves. Well done team Hedgehogs, you have…

We have had SO much fun during out STEM day this week! We have been competing to make the slowest marble run, using our science, maths, design and technology knowledge around textures, friction, angles and speed to help us. We have created some MASTERPIECES and have really impressed our teacher…

In Team Starlings, our current topic is all about coding! We have become experts in both Morse code and Semaphore, and have really enjoyed both encrypting and decrypting various secret messages in our classroom! During our lesson on Semaphore, we made flags and practised sending messages across a…

This week in Science, Team Starlings have been investigating how the mass of an object affects it's gravity. We had a great time drawing planets on the playground to get an idea of their comparative scaled sizes, and enjoyed researching what the gravity is like on other planets. This half term, we…

Badgers have loved their STEM Day! The challenge was to create a marble run, but we didn't want the marble to move quickly - that's too easy! We hoped to slow it down! We discussed what may help slow down the marble on its way and what materials may help. The children planned their designs in…

Sunflowers have had so much fun experimenting outside in the water to see what objects float or sink. We predicted what we think might happen before carrying out the investigation. 

This week, we have been reading 'Yucky Worms'. We have learned all about worms, including where they live, what they eat and what happens if they come into contact with a spade. Today, we found a worm in Forest School and spent lots of time watching it wriggling through the dirt. 

This week Sunflowers have been developing confidence, competence, precision and accuracy when engaging in ball activities. We have been throwing, catching and kicking balls. 

In PSHE this week we explored group dynamics. We understood that there are people who take on roles of leaders or followers in a group and when is the appropriate time to take on these roles. We then applied this knowledge of group dynamics in our art lesson where we created prints as a…
