Fabulous Friday - Mini Section
Academic Blog
As we approach the weekend, let's have a look at what the Minis have been up to.
Assembly
The assembly this week was celebrating the importance of teamwork. The children were put in mixed age groups and asked to work together to complete their challenge. We discussed the importance of collaboration, perseverance and listening, respecting and encouraging one another. It was wonderful to see the children supporting one another.
Library
Each class visit the school library on a weekly basis. This is an important opportunity for the children to spend some quiet time engrossed in their chosen book. The children are able to use the library computer system to check their books in and out.
Year 3 & 4
Year 3 & 4 made edible Earths for their entry point to Active Planet. They used cherries for the Inner Core, marshmallows for the Outer Core, rice crispies for the Mantle and chocolate for the crust! They had to use their communication skills to work as a team and take turns.
Year 5
Year 5 had a great time making models of the Roman Coliseum and a Roman Village for their entry point. Their IPC unit this term is 'The Great, The Bold & The Brave'. During the science lesson this week the children had to dissect a flower and identify the main features.
Year 6
The Year 6 are enjoying their IPC unit, 'Champion for Change' and in science they have been working out the correct order of the Linnaean classification system.
