Our latest story is called This is Our House. It’s got us thinking about how houses are built. Today we’ve been looking at how to build strong walls…

In Science this week, Year 1 have continued to look at animals (including humans). This week our enquiry was ‘Why are animals grouped in different ways?’
First of all we looked at the ways we could group different animals as a class.
The children were each given an animal to compare and contrast. The children looked closely at the features of the animals and then grouped them together based on their characteristics.
Here is what some of the children discovered:
“Those animals all have wings and feathers so they must all be birds.”
“They all have hair or fur so they must be mammals.”
The children then had a go at sorting the different animals independently.
Please could you send all school councilors to my classroom (y6) during assembly time. This will be for a quick photo to put up on our notice board in the hall; the children will be sent straight back afterwards.
A meeting will be held next Tuesday for all school councilors and house captains, but i’ll put another message on the desktop nearer the time as a reminder.
Thanks all xx
Chronology
This week Year 3 have been discussing chronology and what this means.
We have discussed how chronology tells us the order things happened in.
During our history lesson we have begun to look at the history of Hull. We spent some time looking at some sources of evidence and discussing what these sources showed us. We then had a go at putting our sources into the correct chronological order.
We discussed how black and white photographs must be older than coloured ones and how paintings must be even older as these were created before cameras were invented.
Once we had created our chronological timeline we discussed the correct order of events in Hull.
We then created our own timeline in our books ensuring we thought about the chronological order of the events.
We cannot wait to find out lots of information about these events that shaped the city of Kingston Upon Hull.
Year 1 were excited to start their ICT lessons this week, especially the thought of getting their hands on the laptops… but first we had to find out what exactly ‘Technology’ is.
We found out the word ‘technology’ actually means ‘anything made by people to help us’.
The children then searched our classroom to find items of technology. The children were able to find many things and say how they help us…
Poppy told us that “glasses help us to see better”, while River said “my bottle has my water in it for me to drink and stay healthy” and all the children were surprised when Avie said the chair was technology as it helps us to sit down!
Technology is absolutely everywhere in our classroom, so we had to go outside to find things that aren’t technology… trees and the sky aren’t technology as they are not made by people.
Phase leaders:
Please can you ensure newsletters are sent to parents by the end of next week. A copy needs to be forwarded to the office so they can place it on the website.
Context sheets need to be completed by the end of next week and submitted to me.
Can you let me know interventions for your phase and who are in these groups when you have sorted them.
Many thanks x
