LKS2 investigate ā€˜How clean are your teeth?ā€™

26th April 2021Mrs Graves

We have had a great week in LKS2 this week learning all about our teeth.

In English we have been comparing diary entries, looking at an extract from ā€˜A poo, a gnu and youā€™ and ā€˜Diary of a Wimpy Kidā€™. When then wrote our own diary entries around visiting the dentist.

In Expedition, we have learnt the names and functions of the different teeth, as well as what a tooth is made from – but best of all, we investigated how clean our teeth are using disclosing tablets – that created a few giggles!

Hopefully parents, you wonā€™t have a battle getting the children to clean their teeth this weekend!

NSPCC Number day

26th April 2021Mrs Price

On Friday 7th May we are going to be celebrating NSPCC Number day. We will be focusing on number and other maths throughout the day. We would like children to dress up in something related to number if they so wish.

I am looking forward to seeing the different creations.

5W are scientists!

22nd April 2021Lucy Wood

This week we have loved our science based expedition lessons. The children have been really hands on and took part in an experiment to turn muddy water as clear as possible using only a few pieces of equipment. They used their knowledge of solids, liquids and gases to help them and I saw some excellent leadership and team building skills Well done 5W!

We are scientists!

21st April 2021Miss Blackham

6B are really enjoying the first case study in this Expedition. They have become fantastic scientists. Today they had a challenge of making muddy water as clean as possible using a range of equipment. They had to use their knowledge of solids, liquids and gasses to decide the best process to make the water as clean as possible. Great team work and resilience was shown by all! Well done superstars!
