Strange happenings at The Pastures!

On Tuesday we had an incident at school. Something very mysterious landed on the playground near our classroom.  Children in year 3/4 had to go to the hall for registration.  After the scientists had carried out their investigations, they gave us the all-clear and we were allowed to return to our classroom.  At playtime we watched one scientist move some pieces of metal from the inside of the tent (some of which was covered in orange slime!).  Smoke was billowing out and some very peculiar noises could be heard from within!
Here are some photos of what we saw!

What do you remember about this exciting day? Post any comments!

WELCOME BACK!

Welcome back to school! We hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year and have had a nice rest.

Our topic’s for Spring term are:

History -World War 2 (finding out about the most famous characters such as Neville Chamberlain, Winston Churchill, Adolf Hitler and Anne Frank).

Science -Moving and growing (finding out about skeletons in humans and animals, organs protected by the skeleton, how muscles help us move).

ICT – continuing work on how to create a PowerPoint and then making a poster in Publisher.

PE – gymnastics and swimming.

Music – learning songs from World War 2 for our concert at the end of the term.

Design and Technology – looking at structures, building a rocket and launch pad from junk materials (start collecting cereal and smaller boxes).

This would be much appreciated!!

We hope you’re as excited to start the term as we are J !

Let the learning commence!

This Half Term...

This term our topic is The Vikings and in Literacy we are also looking at Viking myths. We are also revisiting The Quest with children writing their stories using the same structure but with different settings and characters. We are also writing instructions about how to make a Viking Longship.

In Art the children are taking photographs around school of designs and patterns in nature. In Design and Technology we are bridge building using newspapers. Children will continue to develop their hockey skills and then will go on to gymnastics. 

In ICT children will be using Word, Publisher and PowerPoint to record facts about The Vikings. In Music we are learning to sing carols and songs in preparation for our carol concert later in the term.

Leave a comment and tell us about any facts that you already know or have found out about The Vikings!

Charlie and her Olympic Torch

It was very exciting to meet Charlie Murgatroyd who visited school and brought her Olympic Torch. As a school, we raised over £200 for dreamfights to help send seriously ill children to Disneyland, Florida for a holiday of a lifetime.

Half term

Hope you all had a great half term.  Let us know what you got up to!

Botanical Gardens

We had a great day out at The Botanical Gardens.  Everyone enjoyed searching for minibeasts and pond dipping, as well as exploring the desert, Mediterranean, woodland and rain forest habitats.  Looking at some of the sculptures in the gardens made it even more enjoyable.  Here are some pictures of what we saw!

Wanted! Dead or Alive!

Our homework last week was to design a wanted poster for the wolf who caused Red Riding Hood and Grandma so many problems!

Here are three examples by Charlie J, Reece and Freya!
