Sycamore Class enjoyed their run around the track while wearing antlers to raise money for St John’s Hospice.
Soils Experiment
In Science, Sycamore Class conducted an experiment to test the permeability of five different soils: clay, loam, silt, sand and chalk. We measured the volume of water filtering through the soil over three minutes to compare their permeability and found some were very permeable, whereas others absorbed water.
Movie Night
Our PTA movie night was a massive success with so many children joining in. Thank you so much to the PTA and staff who helped with the organisation and running of the event!
Sycamore Class Portraits
Sycamore Class were inspired by Henri Matisse for their collage backgrounds. They then drew portraits of themselves in ink.
Sycamore Class Volcano Collages
Sycamore Class have been learning about volcanoes in theme and used their collage skills to create volcano collages.
Opera
Beech and Sycamore classes enjoyed their trip to Morecambe Winter Gardens to watch an opera performance for schools. We learnt some Italian musical vocabulary and were amazed by the talent of the singers.
Investigating Rocks in Science
Sycamore Class have been testing the properties of rocks, as part of their Science topic ‘Rocks’. We had six samples to test for hardness and permeability. We recorded our observations, allowing us to group the rocks based on their properties!
Imagining History
Sycamore Class were lucky enough to be visited by Imagining History this week and took part in a workshop all about launching a Viking raid! We made a living timeline of events to learn more about this important period in History and had to create Viking longships to raid the Anglo-Saxon monastery on Lindisfarne. We had a fantastic time!
Borwick Hall – Sycamore Class
Sycamore Class had a fantastic day at Borwick Hall. Everyone persevered and tried their best all day while taking part in the low ropes course, climbing or bouldering, caving and canoeing.
Materials and Structures
In DT, Sycamore Class have been looking at how to strengthen structures using triangles. They used this knowledge to create Roman Siege Towers using cardboard and wood. They developed their measuring, sawing and joining skills to include drawbridges, battering rams and moving wheels on their towers.
