History - WW1 Day

14/1/2024

0 Comments

 
We will be hosting a WW1 day for the Year 4 and Year 5 children on Monday 5th February 2024.
 
During the day, the children will engage in a range of activities linked to the war, building on our history lessons so far this half term. To ensure we make the most of the day and the children can fully engage in the experience, we invite all the children to come to school for the day dressed up ready for war. The children have the opportunity (should they wish to) to come dressed as a soldier, a nurse, a child or any costume fitting into a WW1 theme.
 
To link with our PE curriculum, as part of the day, we are going to be running a young soldiers training camp for the children. This will be delivered by Mr Fidment. This will take place on the school’s field, in the nature reserve or school hall, depending on the weather. Please could you ensure that your child brings a set of appropriate clothes and sensible shoes, which allow your child to move freely. As we will be outside for the majority of the activities (if the weather allows us), we recommend that your child brings a jumper and a coat also.
 
Your child will need to arrive in their WW1 themed outfit (should they wish to take part in this) and they will then be given time to change into their appropriate clothing when it is time for their experience with Mr Fidment. Due to the current weather conditions, please be aware that the children’s clothing may get muddy and therefore it would be appropriate to send clothes/shoes that you don’t mind getting dirty.

Online Safety - Be Internet Legends

28/11/2023

0 Comments

 
This morning, Team LF engaged in an online virtual assembly, an annual celebration hosted by Parent Zone and Google. The aim of the assembly was to focus on some online safety scenarios in which children had to vote for the safest and sensible option about how to behave. For example, what they would do if a friend was sent an inappropriate message from another person. The children had some great ideas about what to do in each case and could talk around the reasons for their responses. It was lovely to see the whole class engaged, sharing ideas and discussing what they had learnt from the assembly.

To watch the assembly, use the following link:

Science - Research

28/11/2023

0 Comments

 
Researching in Science allows children to use secondary sources of evidence, often when the question raised is impossible or unsafe for children to answer first hand. It enables children to compare and evaluate the information they gather from a range of sources and see that questions don’t always have definite answers.

Using our research skills, we used textbooks and the internet (a range of search engines to link with our Computing knowledge) to find out how some animals are adapted to their environment in order to survive. We focussed on three main habitats (the Arctic, Mojave Desert and Amazon Rainforest) in to find out about the adaptations of the polar bear, camel and orangutan. Along the way, there were lots of surprises, such as a camel having heat-resistant pads on it's knees and elbows so that it doesn't burn itself on the sand.

Literacy

Throughout the past two weeks, Team LF have been working on producing a lyrical poem about the Ickabog. They have included rhyme and elements of SPAMO (similes, personification, alliteration, metaphors and onomatopoeia). We will be posting these on to JK Rowling and will await her response.

Children in Need 2023

17/11/2023

0 Comments

 
Today, the children have been celebrating and learning about the history of Children In Need and how it started in November 1980. The children developed an understanding how the charity developed from a tradition established during the 1930s, whereby there would be a 5 minute radio plea on Christmas Day for those children who were less fortunate. This then progressed into a televised plea as technology progressed, until, finally becoming a telethon on national TV. Further to this, the children established an understanding of Sir Terry Wogan's legacy and how he was the face of Children in Need for many years.

To help raise money for this amazing cause, the children were invited to wear spots for the day, as well as taking part in Spot-tacular event, chasing and finding as many spots as they could around Park Street. Unfortunately, Team LF found 49/50 in the given time but that didn't stop the children from having fun. Throughout the day, they also participated in maths events, as well activities during our 'Incredible Us!' time. The highlight of the day was definitely the bun sale at break time!

History - Remembrance Day

10/11/2023

0 Comments

 
To celebrate Remembrance Day, during our PSHE lesson, Team LF discussed the importance of remembering those who have sacrificed their lives for us and our freedom. We spoke about the phrase ‘Lest We Forget’ and how the words remind us not to forget those who have lost their lives in wars and conflicts while we live in peace.

As part of our discussion we also spoke about The Great War, Armistice Day, the Cenotaph, memorials, the significance of the poppy and Remembrance Sunday.

We looked at photographs of the Cenotaph in November 1920, using our oracy skills to answer three main questions: What can we see? What can we infer? What do we wonder?

History - Bonfire Night

During our PSHE lesson today, and in preparation for the Autumn school holiday, Team LF focussed on the history of Bonfire Night and why it is celebrated within the UK. We discussed who Guy Fawkes was and how his Gunpowder Plot in 1605 failed to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London.

We then looked at the importance of being safe on Bonfire Night and discussed what we can do in order to keep ourselves and others safe.

RE - Autumn 1

27/10/2023

This half term we have started learning about Islam. We have learnt that people who follow the Islamic religion are called Muslims and that the faith was founded in Saudi Arabia. We know that Muslims believe in one God, who is called Allah and that he has ninety-nine names. During our lessons, we have also learnt that the Islamic faith follows the 'Five pillars of Islam' and these are the main beliefs of the religion. ,

We had the privilege of a workshop, led by Imran, a follower of the Islamic faith. Imran focussed on the importance of prayer, the times in which Muslims pray and how they pray within a mosque. He brought artefacts for the children to look at and also taught the children the key features of a Mosque building.
