Police Visit Nursery

On Tuesday, police officers and community officers visited Nursery Tingatinga. They talked about how they help us. They talked about their uniform and all the equipment they had to carry. Nadia showed us her collar number, which is her identity number. She said that every member of the Police has their own unique shoulder number. We loved having the police visiting us. Thank you!

 

Year 3 Update

 

Science Week

To celebrate British Science Week, Year 3 had a fantastic time building and testing their own catapults. They explored how varying heights affected the distance a piece of paper would travel. Before starting, the students made predictions and later compared their results with other groups. Throughout the Science workshop, we focused on this year’s theme, 'Change and Adapt', diving into forces such as friction, gravity, electricity, and vacuum. The children were fascinated by the experiments and are excited to try similar activities at home!

English

Year 3 have now finished reading The Ironman. This week, the children have made storyboards for their own robot that they created last week! They have all done a phenomenal job using expanded noun phrases and fronted adverbials in their writing! We look forward to reading their own stories.

PSHE

In our PSHE lesson this week, we discussed our future job aspirations! Children shared their thoughts about what they would like to be when they grow older and outlined strengths that they have that will help them in their desired job role! It was a thought-provoking lesson which led to great class discussions about why people choose different jobs and their passions in life.

 

Year 5 Update

Year 5 enjoyed participating in Anglo-Saxon Day, where they were able to experience many different activities based around the Anglo-Saxon period in history. They made Anglo-Saxon coins, learnt to write with a quill and ink and learnt how to make and play draughts.

We also enjoyed World Book Day last week. Our focus text was the Boy, the Mole, The Fox and the Horse. We looked at the messages in the book and made our own artwork based on our favourite parts. We also talked about turning negative emotions into positive ones as this is a key message of the book.

In English, we have been continuing our work on writing the story “The Piano”. We looked at images from the text and thought about how it was possible to tell a story with only music and images. We look forward to writing next week.

Unfortunately, we were not able to go to the Gudwara this week as we had planned because there was signal failure on the underground line. We will rearrange the date soon.
