Class 4 – DT
Today, our Year 6 students continued their exciting journey into the world of engineering by creating more cam prototypes. Building on their previous understanding of what a cam does and how different shapes affect movement, this session focused on enhancing their learning with a hands-on kit.
By using the kit, students were able to see first-hand how the movement of a cam can cause a follower to move. This practical experience is invaluable as it deepens their understanding of mechanical systems, which they will soon apply when assembling their own toys.
Understanding the intricate relationship between cams and followers gives students a glimpse into the world of engineering, encouraging them to think critically and creatively. This foundational knowledge not only supports their current project but also ignites curiosity about how everyday objects around them function.
Did you know that cams are used in various everyday items, from clocks to car engines? They play a vital role in converting rotational motion into linear motion, which is essential for many mechanical processes!
Stay tuned as our young engineers continue to explore and innovate!
Class 1 & 2 -The Festival of Lights
The children in Class 1 and Class 2 have been learning about Festivals of Light. They enjoyed acting out the story of Rama and Sita and learning about how Diwali is celebrated. They used clay to make their own diva lamps and coloured rice and sand to create beautiful Rangoli patterns.
This week they enjoyed learning about how Hanukkah is celebrated. A Menorah was lit in the classroom as they played the dreidel game – the children were very good at sharing!

Class 4 Assembly

RE- Soup
The children thoroughly enjoyed tucking into a bowl of nourishing, vegetable soup at lunchtime today. Why you may ask.
During RE yesterday the children in Class 3 delved into their Bibles to discover what different Bible authors had written about God. They learnt that God is love, made us, is powerful, forgives us, is always with us, and wants to be our friend.
Each message was like a piece of nourishing food. So, as they discovered each message they cut up and added a different vegetable to the pan and the messages became mixed in to become a nourishing soup, that was shared with all the children in school today.
We hope that in the years to come that the Bible messages will continue nourishing the children and helping their friendship with Jesus grow.
Snow day at School
The children had great fun in the snow this morning! Snowmen of all shapes and sizes have appeared on the field and we hope we have time to complete them before the snow melts!
After School Care
This week in After School Care we have done some Cooking we followed Scarlet’s chosen recipe – Raspberry Mousse! The children worked brilliantly as a team when measuring, mixing, simmering and whisking the ingredients! They were also really sensible when using the hob on the cooker and a big help when it came to the washing up!
Well done MasterChefs, your deserts look delicious!
Snow – We are OPEN!
How beautiful the snow is, we look forward to seeing you all at school.
