Class 1 and 2 Nature Walk
Class 1 and Class 2 enjoyed a lovely Nature Walk along the riverbank this week. They used their senses to identify the signs of Autumn around them and they saw lots of beautiful things, including an otter!
Back in the classroom, they examined the leaves they had collected before using them in printing and collage work. Several members of the public commented on their excellent behaviour and smart uniforms during the walk – well done Class 1 and Class 2!
Tag Rugby
Class 3 enjoyed participating in a variety of activities at Kesteven Rugby Club yesterday. They were extending their rugby skills with support from the School Games organiser Terry Plumb. The children worked really well as a team, listened carefully to instructions, tried their best and supported each other as well as children from another school. It was lovely to see them enjoying being active outdoors in the sunshine and having fun.
KS2 Science- PH levels
Class 4 made predictions about the pH value of various substances before using litmus paper to test them. They used tealights and foil bowls to demonstrate irreversible change when heat was applied to egg and sugar.
School Council Elections
This morning, prospective school councillors addressed the whole outlining why people should vote for them. After the election addresses, pupils cast their vote at the polling station.
Votes have been counted and results of the School Council elections will be announced on Monday.
Jeans for Genes Day
The School Council decided that this year they would like to raise funds for Jeans for Genes – a charity that supports children living with genetic disorders. Pupils came to school dressed in denim and their donations raised £51.70 towards this worthwhile cause that helps provide vital care and support for affected children and their families.
Thank you everyone for your generosity.
New Glockenspiels
Yesterday, Class 4 enjoyed playing on the new glockenspiels in their music lesson.
We are looking forward to developing our skills to read musical notation and played tuned percussion so that we can make beautiful music together.
RE Class 3
This afternoon, class 3 identified the provisions they would need before embarking on a Son-Seeker Safari. Over the next few weeks, they will be finding out how God protects us and provides for our needs.
KS2 RE
This morning in RE, Class 4 researched, shared and complied a collaborative list that defined all the different tasks archaeologists engage in to learn about the past from the evidence they collect. They then enjoyed embarking on their own archaeological dig, using different tools to excavate a site and find evidence to identify ‘mystery classmates’.
Next week they will be using their understanding of the work of archaeologists to dig into evidence in the Bible.
PE
In the first PE session of the year children were taught the importance of a game plan and how to outwit an attacker.
