Year 3 are learning all about plant this half term. We have looked at the different parts of a flowering plant and what plants need in order to grow well. Today, we set up an investigation to look at how important soil really is to plant growth. Do they REALLY need it? We have planted cress seeds in soil, sand, paper towel and cotton wool and we are going to observe the seeds as they grow. Most of us think that it will grow best in soil but we can’t wait to find out!
This week we continued to learn how to play badminton. We had so much fun playing our warm up games, practicing how to move around a badminton court and hitting the shuttlecock over the net. Take a look it us in action.
The cookery group had a great time making Rocky Road cakes. We discussed safety points when using a microwave, practised our chopping & mixing skills and worked really well with our partners to create our tasty treats!
We had a little bit of spare time while we were waiting for our cakes to set in the fridge so we decorated our bags to take the cakes home in.
Miss Campbell came down from Redhouse Comp to teach us French. We had great fun, learned a lot and she is very excited to meet some of us in year 7!
Our first gymnastics lesson had us looking at the importance of stretching! We then looked at symmetrical and asymmetrical balances and created several with a partner.
The half term Year 4 are very lucky to have extra P.E sessions with Red House Academy learning badminton. The children loved their first session today understanding how to use a shuttlecock and racket. Lots of fun was had by all!
The children loved spending some time in the snow this week, the cold certainly did not bother them!
Class 10 were the best attenders in the whole school this week and had hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows and a biscuit as a prize for winning! We are going to try really hard to win again next week. Fingers crossed!
