Lansallos Class have made the most of the glorious
weather by taking their learning outside whenever possible.
In maths, the
children have been exploring direction, degrees, and how to classify angles.
Year 6 pupils have also been learning how to calculate missing angles in a
variety of shapes.
In PE, the class have been building on the skills
developed during the recent cricket enrichment day, showing great teamwork and
enthusiasm for the sport.
In English, alongside a SPaG focus on clauses, the
children have been editing and improving the poems they wrote from the
perspective of an animal.
We
have also had an RE focus where we have been learning about a Christian view of
God. We analysed religious texts to find examples of how Christians view God
and discussed what it means that Christians see God as loving and holy. We
learnt about how churches and cathedrals are designed in the glory of God and
thought about how to encourage a new congregation. The children reflected on
various religions and unpicked why people choose to live the way they do
regarding their faith. We also discussed those who don't follow a specific
religion and reflected on our own beliefs. The children created a piece of
artwork each, depicting how they see a Christian view of God; they wrote a
reflection to go alongside it as seen below.
Following on from our RE learning last week about ‘Why does
Easter matter to Christians?’, Lantic Class have been designing and making a
moving Easter card in their DT lessons. We began by looking at moving books and
the mechanisms they used, including, flaps, levers and sliders. We explored
different mechanisms by making them ourselves – we made a lever, a slider, a
wheel and a pivot. We then designed and made our own moving Easter card to give
to a member of our family; we used a lever and pivot mechanism. We hope you like
them!
Congratulation to Elsa who qualified to take part in this year’s
cross country final. She went to Newquay on Tuesday to race against finalists
from across Cornwall. She ran a brilliant race coming 38th in the Year 6 girl’s
race.
Thank you to FOP's for organising and running our Easter egg hunt. The children had a lovely afternoon working out answers to all the questions.
Talland Class have
enjoyed quiet a lot of outside learning during the last few weeks. We have been investigating the pond
during forest school and making dens.
As part of our PE lessons we have been
practicing throwing and catching focusing on distance, accuracy and catching.
As part of geography, we investigated what are
the differences between a hamlet, town and city, whilst also listing all the
cities we have visited.
Children in
pre-school have been discovering all the wonderful changes that Springtime
brings. They have used their five senses to discover what they could see,
hear, taste, smell, and touch.
With some
visits to forest school, we have been keeping an eye on the pond and were
rewarded with seeing hundreds of tadpoles. We have also spotted lots of spring
flowers and listened to the birdsong from our garden area.
Our final week seen some fun Easter
activities, with water colour painted eggs, an Easter picture hunt to win a
chocolate egg, some easter baking and card making has also been enjoyed
