• Lime class maths day

  Thu 12 Oct 2023

  Today Lime class enjoyed exploring maths through Art and DT. The children explored looking at shapes and creating a Kandinsky painting. In DT the children used their measuring skills to weigh the ingredients. We also thought of all the different ways we could split our dough into 8 pieces.

  Thu 12 Oct 2023 Mrs Diwan

  In Science this week we made our own sundials. Over the course of the day we used the sundials to look at shadows and to prove that the Earth is moving on its own axis over the course of 24 hours. 

  

• Maths across the Curriculum

  Thu 12 Oct 2023 Mrs Diwan

  This week we have been looking at Maths across the curriculum. We played a multiplication dice game to warm us up and then looked at the Maya number system to link in with our History topic. Finally we used shapes and coloured paper to create a class city in the style of the artist Paul Klee. This was an opportunity for the children to practise the collage skills that they have been learning during our art lessons. 

  

• Roman's Day

  Wed 11 Oct 2023 Mrs Plowman

  Sycamore Class had a very busy, jammed packed Romans Day!

  The children were map detectives, finding Roman place names and identifying features such as forts, villas, settlements and temples on a Roman Britain map of East Anglia. They also used their mathematical skills to use coordinates to find Roman sites and ruins across the UK.

  They learnt about Roman numerals by playing games and making paper plate clocks.

  Then it was time to take our shields outside to see how the Roman army attacked and defended using formations. We tried out the ‘Orb’, ‘Tortoise’, Wedge’ and ‘Repel Cavalry’.

  A game of ‘Knucklebones’ proved to be a fun challenge – some children were able to flip 4 counters from the back of their hand into the palm of their hand. Lots of persevering was needed!

  In the afternoon, the children designed and made their own mosaics (with geometric patterns) using coloured salt dough tiles, being careful to grout between each tile to secure them in place.

  Finally, the children answered a true and false quiz about food in Roman times, the children were surprised by some of the true answers, e.g. some of the delicacies including dormice and snails. Groups of three children, then designed a Roman menu fit for an emperor.

  Well done, Sycamore Class!

  Sycamore class have been learning about the human digestive system. This week, we looked at the different types of teeth we have and their functions. We then made a set of teeth using modelling clay and colour coded them  to show the incisors, canines, premolars and molars.
