Space Week- Rocket Revolution

What a phenomenal week we have had in space week. The children have had chance to visit a planetarium, write space poems, make aliens, research space, detail and order the rocket revolution and throughly immerse themselves into learning about space. What a fantastic week celebrated in our wall display. 


Collage artwork

We have had a very arty week. We have explored the cut-outs used by Henri Matisse. We then looked at how to create a tessellated pattern with cut out pieces creating our own fish tessellated picture. We then looked at mosaic artwork creating our own symmetrical patterns. Today we created our final collage pieces to represent a landscape in England. The children chose whether to create a mosaic landscape or a Matisse inspired landscape.


Black History workshop

Year 3 loved welcoming our visitor Agnes yesterday who came in to share traditional folk stories from Ghana with us. We explored the story of Kwaku Ananse and the moon that wouldn't shine. The children then thought of who in their own lives they would like to make feel loved just like Ananse helped the moon to feel loved in the story.

Lionesses’ Development Festival

Amazing work from the Year 3 and 4 girls today at the Lionesses' Development Festival. It was some of the girls first ever football game and they did our school proud! Lots of goals were scored and even more fun was had! A big thank you to our Game Changers who came along to help. Well done girls! 


Science Week workshop

Year 3 watched a live zoom lesson yesterday about how special satellites in space observe and record data about how healthy our oceans are. We discovered that humpback whales are very important in keeping oceans healthy. Scientists need to track whales to check on them and they have special dogs gained to sniff and identify them from the whale's poo!

We found out about lots of different jobs involved in design space satellites including space engineers, product managers, thermal engineers and marine biologists. 


Jodrell Bank Dome

We are lucky to welcome the Wonder Dome to school in National Space Week. The children are learning about the stars and planets in an immersive experience.
