Science in KS1

This half term,  Year 1 and 2 have been investigating the properties of everyday materials. We have looked at the items in our classroom, things we use and then, this week,  investigated which materials are waterproof. Mrs Matthews has a hole in her umbrella and need the help of KS1 to mend it!

Points of the compass

Tennis

We were very fortunate to have a tennis coach visit school today. 
Each class had a half hour session and had the chance to learn a few basic skills.Well done Murphy class, you picked it up really quickly!

BBC Music Day

The BBC invited us to "get singing" - and so we did! All across the school classes logged on to the BBC  and took part in a few vocal exercises, before learning and performing part of a song. Murphy class loved taking part.

Year 3/4 Trip to Celtic Harmony Camp

Year 3 and 4 took a journey back in time today when we visited Celtic Harmony Camp, the UK's largest reconstructed Iron Age settlement.

 We gathered food from the ancient woodland for a prehistoric cookery lesson.

We built our own shelters in the woods.

We learned about flint tools and how to use them to defend ourselves from bears. Then we tried our hands at hunting in the woods.

We learned how to walk silently like a hunter from the Stone Age and practised shooting prehistoric animals amongst the trees.
