Children in Years 5 and 6 have enjoyed attending homework club to complete their different tasks set for the week.  

Well done to all.  

Class 13 have been learning about the circulatory system and how the heart works to pump blood around the body. As part of their learning, they dissected a lamb’s heart, carefully examining the four different chambers and the blood vessels connected to it.

In Computing Club, we have been learning about Wikipedia and discussing why it is important to think carefully about information we find online. While Wikipedia can be a very useful source of information, anyone can edit many of its pages, which means mistakes can sometimes appear. We also talked…

This week, we made our own versions of the circulatory system, showing where the oxygenated and deoxygenated blood travels to reach our lungs, and the rest of our body.

This week, as part of our circulatory system topic, we dissected a lambs heart.

The children worked in groups, to dissect and find the atriums and ventricles of the heart.

Class 14 have enjoyed dissecting hearts today and learning all about how the heart works and really enjoyed seeing the inside of the sheep heart we dissected.

Well done class 14.

We have been developing our word processing skills in Class 9 - this week we have been editing text using bold, italics, underline and alignment. 

We’ve also learnt how to undo if we make a mistake.

We did an Oracy lesson in English in Class 9 this week.

We worked in groups to answer inference questions about Chapter 3 of Oliver Twist, building on each other's ideas using phrases such as "I agree and would like to add..." and "I understand what you are saying, but..." 

In Maths, Class 9 have worked in pairs to flexibly partition 3- and 4-digit numbers, using place value counters.

This week, we discussed what foods can make a healthy lifestyle. The children looked at different food diaries, and different food labels, and discussed what snacks they thought each person should have based on their existing diet. 

We then fed this back to the class.
