Children learning how to gain small margins in performance through subtle technique changes.

 

 

Cutting, slicing and dicing apples to make crumble as part of our DT was an activity the children loved. The children had to peel and chop the fruit, weigh the ingredients out onto scales to make sure they had the correct amount.

 

 

The children had the opportunity to go to F51 to try bouldering. Using all of their body strength to help them get to the top and to experience a new challenge.

 

We had a Polar Express day that involved some fun activities such as finding clues, drinking hot chocolate whilst watching the film and arranging the classroom to look like they were sitting together on the train.

 

The children beautifully made Christmas cards for a charity who distribute them to care homes, giving warmth and showing love to their community.

 

During a term the children were learning about the Romans. For a reactive activity, they all made Roman mosaic pieces. Using different shapes, sizes and colours of tiles to put together a beautiful master piece.

 

Children that are part of IRock, put on a performance for friends and family. Singing and playing musical instruments that they are learning.

 

 

Designing and making volcanos was something the children had the pleasure to do, once everyone had finished, we took them to the playground where we mixed ingredients together for the volcanoes to erupt.

 

Finger painting is something all the children loved as they enjoyed the sensory textures, showing how they see the different seasons using their imagination.

 

Everyone enjoying their Christmas themed day that included a party, playing games and dancing with their friends. Each class also received a present from the school, for all the children to enjoy whilst in class.

 

 

The children performed the tableau during our Christingle service, speaking and performing in front of family and friends. All singing the first verse of Away in a Manger.

 

The children were set a challenge to see how many targets they could hit in 30 seconds on our Active walls.

 

 

In science the children have been learning about different types of rocks and what materials makes these specific patterns.

 

A KS2 trip took us to the pantomime in Canterbury to watch Snow white and the seven dwarfs. All children loved this experience and joining in on the singing and shouting out. Oh yes, they did!

 

This term is DT week and the children have been learning how to sew, using cross stitching. At the end of their week the children made a cushion.

 

As the children have been reading a book called The Queens Nose, we taken part in a workshop to teach the children how emotions and actions can be explored through drama.

MAF

Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF), based in Ashford, brought a plane to the playground for the children to sit in and look around.

The children also made paper airplanes which they tried to launch through hoops to gain points. Well done to Isaac and Evie who scored the most points.

The class was split into 2 groups for 2 different activities. The first activity was a rescue mission to save Bob who had been bitten by a poisonous spider and needed to be carried through the jungle to a hospital. Both groups managed the task with good team work in carrying Bob on a stretcher in the dark with crocodile infested swamps!!

The second activity involved decision making. The children role-played being on an MAF plane that was full of passengers, but they needed to select one passenger to stay behind so that a very sick person could take their place and get medical attention as soon as possible. This was difficult as each passenger had their reasons for staying, but groups made a selection and were able to justify their decision.

The children have had a brilliant day – One child said that they want to become an MAF pilot one day.

A big thank-you to MAF for visiting

and giving the children an amazing experience.
