Invasion games in Robins

Every Friday we have had a visit from some special sports coaches who have been teaching us about Invasion games. This week we began to start learning Hockey skills.

Robins visit from a Radiographer

As part of our Funny Bones topic Robins were lucky enough to have a visit from a Mum at school who is a Radiographer.

Prior to her visit Robins worked hard planning questions to ask her and absolutely loved discovering about her job.

 

It's all about den building

The Kingfishers have loved making their own dens this morning.
They needed to think about the materials they would need and how they would secure their structure.  Some of the children used long sticks, others building blocks or structures that were already outside.  Some used string, others used pegs or tape.
Some great team work Kingfishers.

Experimenting with Capacity

Kingfishers have been busy learning all about 'Capacity'.

We have talked about what 'capacity' means, looked at things that are full, half full and empty, and experimented with containers to work out which one contains the most and which contains the least. 

Great work Kingfishers.

Owls are having an exciting morning getting in character when writing our diary entries!

Ahoy there!

The SUPER Swift class visited the Seacity museum on Friday and had an absolute blast!  Upon arriving we were greeted by our friendly tour guide who outlined what he had planned for us. 

First, we encountered a workshop where we learnt vital facts about the passengers on board the Titanic.  Some of us even got the chance to dress up in the wonderful outfits!  Did you know that one of the lookouts was called Freddie? Then, we explored the different objects that the Titanic would have been carrying, experimented how much water was needed to sink the ship and decided on who should have been saved based on the information given.  I think a personal favourite was the 'smell' test! Children had to sniff a box and decide which room it belonged to on the Titanic.  Some of the children's facial expressions were epic! 

Afterwards, we were taken on a terrific tour around the museum.  Here, we found out information about the ship and the passengers.  It was sad to see so many passengers lost at sea but nice that they are still remembered today.  A couple of the children had long lost relatives so we searched for their names on the huge wall!  Children loved the last room which had a map on the floor.  They searched for where they lived and saw whether someone who boarded the Titanic lived on the same street as them.  We even found our school road!

Finally, we ended our amazing day with a wonder around the museum in our groups.  We played some of the games on display and re-visited areas from the tour.  It was a great day!  Everyone learnt lots :)

I can't wait to see how children use what they now know when they continue their learning about the topic in class!

Take a sneak peek of what they got up to below...
