Year R's Farm Trip

Robins and Bluebirds enjoyed a trip to the Longdown Activity Farm last term. We were shown around by some farmers and got to do lots of exciting jobs to help them.

Firstly we got to hold some chicks! We learnt that a chick takes 21 days to hatch, and ducklings take 28 days.

We had to put special cream on our hands that showed up under a UV light if we hadn't washed all the germs off properly.

We next got to help feed lots of animals; calves, kids, horses, pigs and Billy goats.

 We held some baby guinea pigs.

We helped to get the eggs from the chicken coop and take them to the farm shop to be sold.

 We then had our lunch and played on the slide in the haystacks before coming back on the coach to school.

We loved our trip to the farm, a big thank you to all our parent helpers and Longdown Activity Farm for having us and letting us help with all the farmer's jobs.

We learnt loads of facts about the animals; we remembered these facts, along with doing some of our own research and made some brilliant information books. We also used our writing skills to make a diary of the day at the Farm.

Year One Sealife Visitors

Year One were lucky to have Alison from the Sealife Centre visit their class. Alison brought some creatures that you could find in a rock pool. The children loved learning about these creatures and were brave enough to touch some of them.

We found out that Starfish have 500 - 1000 legs!

We were all brave and touched Gavin the Spider Crab! Would you?

 

Recorder Extravaganza 2014

The children enjoyed a great evening with Piers Adams, a world famous recorder player. They enjoyed playing challenging pieces that they had learned in our recorder sessions. They had a wonderful evening and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Year 3 Roman Homework

Year three were asked to complete a Roman project over the Easter break. They had to look at one of four different areas: Roman Sports and Leisure (gladiators, competitions); Roman Towns (houses and town planning); Roman Homes (mosaics and food); or Roman Army (soldiers, road building). They were then asked to present this information in any way they wanted to.

Some children made a fact page.

 

 Some children made a Roman artefact.

 

 Some children made a large fact poster or book.

 

Some children made videos or powerpoint presentations.

 

Everybody put in a lot of effort. Well done.

 

INTECH Science Visit

Year three and year five had a great visit to INTECH.
Year five visited the Planetarium and year three had a Light and Shadow workshop.

 

The Light and Shadow workshop was very interesting.

 
Thank you to all the adults for the help given on the day.
