Working on our hockey skills this afternoon

Amazing work done by Mrs Treadwell and Year 5 on our Harvest loaf. Thank you Mrs Treadwell

This afternoon was all about the mesolithic and we split into groups and acted as the hunters and the prey. The children worked out that you are more likely to be caught if you are on your own and not in a herd and if you are a prey animal, not getting trapped in a corner is useful.

Lots of…

Unfortunately, our Stone Age Den making day has been postponed so we decided to devote the morning to the neolithic and investigated and made stone age settlements. We have really enjoyed it. 

We have been investigating how sound is made and used data loggers to increase and decrease vibrations to see how it affected volume. It was noisy and fun. 

We have been making offerings to the gods and asking for successful hunts and harvests. We also made some small cave pictures on stones and used them to make a story.

Channel 4 may have the Bake Off, we have the Dunk Off! We have spent the afternoon testing the strength of biscuits. 

We have been exploring Roman Numerals 

We have been learning hockey skills 

We have had an amazing first morning back. We got settled into the classroom then started to find out about the Stone Age. We used trundle wheels on the playground to find out just how long ago the Stone Age was. 

Thank you so much for all the wonderful presents and cards this week. It has been an absolute joy spending the last two years with this crazy bunch and I will miss them a lot. Have a wonderful summer and see you all in September

Love Miss Stevens xx

We have been recreating Hokusai's most famous picture The Great Wave
