Coding

Year 4 have been working hard in their computing lessons. Today, they added a repeat loop to their algorithms in order to create different shapes and patterns when using Turtle Academy. Well done everyone!


Rayner High Music Taster Session

Year 5 visited Rayner today for a wonderful music taster session with ukeleles. They learnt how to play 4 chords: C, A minor, F and G. After some practise with playing the chords, the class played and sang to the song Shotgun. They were absolutely brilliant! 


National Storytelling Week

Year 3 enjoyed a live Zoom session with Alim Kamala. The theme of this year is 'Soundtrack your story' and Alim showed us how he raps to tell a story. We found out that rap stands for rhythm and poetry. We then had a go at writing our own raps about having a superpower. The workshop was so much fun and we loved rapping along with Alim.


Storytelling

Year 2 listened to some BBC stories as part of Story telling week.

Mrs Slate & Miss Laitl have read stories and read non- fiction books from our class book corner.


Debates - Balanced argument

Today, Year 5 role-played a debate on a panel of for and against over some questions we came up with in class. Some of the questions the children debated about include; Should school meals be free? Should a school day be 4 hours instead of 6 hours? Should less subjects be taught in school? Should children be allowed junk food as a break-time snack? They came up with great reasons for and against.
