We investigated the capacity and volume of a range of different containers in maths. We added water to each container to a specific volume and made sure to read the scale accurately. We also investigated the capacity of some containers, of which we didn’t know the capacity, using measuring jugs to achieve this!
In PSHE this week, we discussed this week’s assembly theme “putting ourselves in someone else’s shoes”. We read the David McKee book “Two Monsters” and then used pairs of “perspectacles” to look “through our partner’s eyes”. Following on from this, in circle time, we discussed the many occasions when it is important for us to try to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes and ways in which we can do that.
The winning photos from our competition. Well done to you all, they are fab!
This term, our PE focus is Athletics. We started by looking at running, including accurate technique for sprinting and changing direction. We are now focusing on throwing, making sure we position ourselves correctly, starting low and throwing high with speed. After this, we will move on to jumping!
Sycamore recently visited the Kadampa Meditation Centre at Conishead Priory, as part of our new RE topic for this term, Buddhism. We learned about the origins of Buddhism, Buddhist practices and we even had the chance to take part in a meditation. We felt very relaxed and calm. We also had a tour of the temple, learning about the shrines and offerings. Following on from this, we walked through the woodlands to the beach, where we spent time beachcombing. We had so much fun!
Chestnut Class have been learning about length so today they did some orienteering linked to this.
Oak Class went on a journey around school yesterday and made a map of the journey. We are going to make this into a Beebot map to practise using our coding skills.
