Safer Internet Day - we have been reminding ourselves about how to stay safe when we are using the internet. Our task this week was to think about scams, and what to do if we see a pop up or website that could be a scam. Here we are designing a TV advert on a storyboard to show our learning.
Geography- this week we have been exploring human and physical features of our local area. We started by sorting human and physical features and then used an aerial map of our local area to identify them.
Gymnastics - this week we have worked as a whole year group in our gymnastics session to focus on different jumps. We used benches and boxes of different heights to practice jumps using a star, pike, straddle and tuck jumps. Just look at us in action!
Geography - we learnt about where the equator is in relation to the continents and then made a heat map with coloured cones to show where is hot and where is cold
Science - we are continuing our learning on animals including humans. This week we looked at pictures of adult animals and their offspring, matched them together and then labelled them with their names.
Geography - we used atlases and online maps to find the continents
Geography - we have been practising our knowledge of the UK by completing jigsaws of maps! It was quite tricky but we used our learning from last year to help us!
Resilience- the children had fun this week practicing being resilient when working as a team. Each team was given the challenge of playing keepie uppie with a balloon. The children had to work together to keep their balloon in the air for the longest time. This was easy at first but when Mrs Savage began to introduce new rules, the challenge became trickier!
Having fun at our Christmas Party!
