Sound Timelines

1st Class explored sound in Science this week. They thought about the sounds they hear from when they wake up to when they get to school. Then 1st Class wrote out these sounds in chronological order. They had to make the sounds with their voices.  

Today, Juniors and Seniors helped 1st Class to find instruments that matched the sounds in their timeline.

STEM Stations

We began STEM stations today in the Junior Room. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths. We had the following stations:

1. Science: Using magnets to make the witch from Room on the Broom fly across the night sky

2. Technology: Coding. The children completed challenges on the app 'Daisy the Dinosaur' to introduce them to coding

3. Engineering: The truck carrying Ms. Keane's new shoes is stuck at a river! Using only pasta and playdough, the children had to construct a bridge to get truck across.

4. Maths: the children made numbers from connecting blocks. Seniors had to write the number words and 1st Class explored place value too. 

The stations were loads of fun, and a great hands-on way for pupils to explore these important subjects! 

Autumn

We began learning about autumn yesterday! In the video you can see the children hard at work drawing, labeling and writing about things we see in autumn.

You can also see some of our flexible seating options in the video. Flexible seating gives the pupils the freedom to choose how they complete written work. They pick the option that helps them to learn the best. Flexible seating allows the children to move while they work, provides sensory input and ensures everyone is comfortable!
