Year 5 Design Astrolabes

Year 5 have designed some absolutely wonderful astrolabes, inspired by the astrolabe in our class novel 'Phoenix'. The astrolabe is an instrument used to make astronomical measurements, typically of the altitudes of celestial bodies, and in navigation for calculating latitude, before the development of the sextant. The astrolabe in 'Phoenix' is actually able to transport your mind across all of space, so our astrolabes were designed to also have such incredible powers. We are sure you'll agree - Year 5 did a fantastic job!





We are also busy writing descriptions to accompany the amazing artworks!

Year 3 Times Tables Songs Part 1

Year 3 have been busy making up times tables raps and putting different tables to well known tunes to help us easily remember our times tables facts. Here are the first three brave groups to record their efforts.


Year 1 Cupcake Cooking

Year 1 have been cooking! We made cupcakes for our Mad Hatter's Tea Party.






Y1 Mad Hatters Tea Party!

The children have worked really hard to create their own Mad Hatters Tea Party from scratch. The children baked their own cakes, designed and decorated their own plates and decorated their cakes. The cupcakes were delicious and all of the children had a fabulous time. Have a look at our tea party!

Year 1 Home Learning Project

Our Year 1 Home Learning Project for Spring 1 was to create a Hat for the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. The children have all worked so hard and have done an amazing job!!! Their hat creations are truly remarkable. Take a look ....




Y1 The Three Little Pigs

In class this term we have been looking at fairytales and traditional stories. We have looked at the story of The Three Little Pigs and reconstructed their houses using the materials in the story (sticks, straw and bricks).

MyBnk in Year 3

This morning Year 3 had their first MyBnk session. MyBnk is a charity that works to increase financial awareness from an early age and helps young people understand how the decisions they make around money will affect their futures.

In this morning's session Year 3 thought about how money is earned and whether they would consider themselves 'super spenders' or 'super savers'. They were assigned a different profession and had to solve various problems which involved budgeting on their given salary.

WOW fact of Day- We learned that the population of the U.K spends an incredible one point two trillion pounds on stuff a year.



Year 5 Make Eyeballs!

Year 5 are having fun today making pizzas disguised as eyeballs! This is because the aliens in our current class novel, 'Phoenix' conceal from humans how delicious their food is by making it look like cooked eyeballs. We know the eyeballs will taste better than they look!
