Year 5 Visit to SEA LIFE Aquarium!
Year 5 enjoyed an exciting and educational trip to SEA LIFE Aquarium London as part of their Geography learning. The visit helped pupils build prior knowledge for their upcoming topic, Why do oceans matter? During the day, pupils explored a range of sea creatures, learned about different ocean habitats, and discovered the importance of coral reefs. Working in groups, they acted as geography investigators, reading information displays, recording facts, and discussing how humans can help protect our oceans. The trip was a fantastic opportunity for hands-on learning and curiosity, and the pupils represented the school brilliantly throughout the visit.
Year 1 Explore Coding with Beebots!
In computing, Year 1 explored coding and debugging using Beebots. The children had to give the robots precise instructions to make them move exactly where they wanted. Along the way, they made lots of marvellous mistakes and learned the importance of debugging before giving the next instruction. This hands-on activity helped develop problem-solving skills, logical thinking, and perseverance.
Year 4 Explore 3D Wire Art!
Year 4 developed their artistic skills by creating 3D sculptures using wires. The children practised more complex techniques, including bending, twisting, shaping, and joining wires to construct intricate forms. This challenging activity helped them enhance their spatial awareness, problem-solving abilities, precision, and creativity while bringing their imaginative designs to life.
Year 3 Debate Roman Invasion!
As part of their history topic on the Romans, Year 3 took part in a role-play activity using Conscience Alley. The pupils debated whether they would agree to the Romans invading their land and accepting Roman rule. They explored the pros and cons of Roman invasion and used these ideas to justify their arguments, developing their historical understanding, speaking skills and confidence.
