Look at this jammy lot! Class 7 have had lots of fun celebrating Children In Need and showing up to school in PJs and non-uniform!In order to kick off our WWII topic, an air raid siren was played in our classroom! We were told to run to safety under our tables to protect ourselves from the bombs! This really helped us to understand what life would have been like during the war for ordinary people. Check out our fabulous acting below! Class 7 have kicked off the year with a vocabulary hunt around the classroom to match key terms and definitions from their model text- a Captain Hook character description! The three classess of UKS2 have spent the morning on a local walk. We have studied both human and physical geography, as well as gathering pictures and examples of local flora and fauna. The walk culminated in a trip to the River Dearne, where we looked and at both natural and man made features. Come Dine With Me The children worked all through the dayto create a sumptuous three course meal consisting of: Stuffed Peppers, Vegetable Pasta Bake and Eton Mess. The food was amazing and the children thoroughly enjoyed eating their fill. In Class 7 we have spent the term working on our understanding of cams. We have studied the mechanisms, learned about how they are used in the modern world and designed and built our own moving toys utilising a range of different cam shapes. The children were amazing and had a great time using the tools and assembling these working models. The children in Class 7 fully embraced world book day. A number of us dressed in pajamas to enjoys a great book and some even dressed as their favourite storybook character. We had a great day, enjoying stories, drinking hot chocolate and eating biscuits. Today we have kick started our new History topic 'Vikings Vs Anglo Saxons' with a visit from a Viking called Bjorn. We all had lots of fun and cannot wait to continue our learning all about Vikings. Our first task was to complete a Viking quiz, while doing the quiz we found out lots about daily life, Viking battles, archaeology, Gods and their alphabet. Next we played a Viking game of skill and tactics called hnefatafl. Some of us got quite competitive! We also had the opportunity to see and handle real Viking artefacts as well as find out more about the daily life of Vikings.
This afternoon we got wrapped up warm and went outside to complete our geography fieldwork. We used maps of the school grounds and Ordnance Survey Maps to solve questions using grid references, calculating distance and map symbols. We had lots of fun and learnt lots too!
On Tuesday 12th December, the Year 5 children were very lucky to be donated a trip to the pantomime. We went to see Sleeping Beauty at Wakefield Royal Theatre and all had a fantastic time. For some children, it was their first visit to a theatre so was extra special for them. We shouted, we sang and some of us even had a dance!
