Reception performed their final stay and play. We sang songs, decorated cakes, biscuits and created a hanging decoration. We ended our stay and play by showing our amazing dance moves. We had so much fun!!!
Year 4 have continued to thoroughly enjoy STEM week. Today, the children have been working collaboratively add lighting and sound to the stages they built yesterday! They then thought about ways they could use technology to create visual effects. They used coding to move robots between different icons and to vary the speed that the robot was travelling at.
Year 4 have loved the start of our STEM week. This year, the theme Masterpiece links science, technology, engineering and maths to the arts. Today, the children have started to explore different ways that hobbies and interests can be shared. They’ve been amazing builders, working collaboratively to construct a stage! They then thought about ways they could use technology to further improve the stage.
Today we prepared for our Team Event. We thought about what questions people may ask us e.g. Why did you create your model? How did you use the core values? How does the poster show your team journey? We worked as a team so that we were all confident in sharing our learning and celebrating our success. The Event went really well and everyone was impressed with our innovative ideas.
We were extremely happy to receive our well-deserved ‘build your own’ medal, lanyard and certificate.
Well done Year 2!
Today Reception talked about different places we could host a show. Then we designed and built our own show using Lego. Next, we looked behind the scenes and talked about different jobs people might have at theatres, museums and galleries. After that, we build objects, tools and vehicles that the people doing these jobs might use. It was so much fun !!!
This week Year 1 have been working hard, we have designed and made our lighthouse structures.
We thought very carefully about the materials we could use, the different methods to decorate the main structure, such as paper using crayons, pens and pencils, a collage of different materials.
We have also thought about challenges we might face.
We were all very impressed, we think they went really well!
In today’s session we created a team model to showcase our chosen talents and interests. We explored how to use technology in creative ways and enjoyed adding motors, sensors and lighting to our builds. We used coding to make either the motor or light function on our models and tested the programmes to ensure the code did what we wanted it to do
Today we started learning about theatre technology and museum exhibits. We built a rotating model using the SPIKE app then sent a code to our model to make it move. We explored changing the programme to make the model go faster or slower and change direction. We also created a model with a light sensor and adapted our models to create a scene for a theatre stage or exhibit. We have learnt so much already!
STEM week has started in Year 2 and we are enjoying taking part in the Lego League Master Piece Challenge. Today we thought about our hobbies and interests and ways in which we can showcase our talents to others. We learned about different roles and elements backstage that can enhance a performance. There are lots of careers that work within The Arts such as a graphic designer, stage manager, florist and games designer. Our challenge today was to work as a team to build a a stage using our Lego. It was very important to follow the instructions carefully and support our team mates.
Year 5 are continuing to enjoy their STEAM week. Today, we have been finalising our robot codes and timing our missions. We have been putting all our innovation information together, as a group, into our presentations and creating our speeches for the judges. We are looking forward to our final day tomorrow.
