Year one have been learning the story of Goldilocks and the three bears. To help with this, the children created a text map to retell the story. A text map is a set of visual represtentations or actions that help the children to remember the story. Over time, the class will change the character and setting to write their own version of the goldilocks story. Great work year 1! 🐻

Last term years 5 & 6 made doodlers as part of their Design Technology learning. 🤖 The children had to use their understanding of electrical circuits to design and create their doodlers, then raced them against one another to see whose was the fastest! It was a great unit and the children thoroughly enjoyed it!

Pyrenees class have been focusing on the artist 'Vincent Van Gogh' this term. The children explored paintings by Van Gogh then began to sketch their own ideas inspired by his work. The children spent time editing their sketches before completing their final piece with paint.

Children in year 5 had the opportunity to repair and play retro games consoles this term! As part of our wider school initiative for electrical waste and recycling the children repaired the games console in small groups, replacing the screen and fixing the buttons. Once they had the console fully working they had the opportunity to try some retro games. The children thoroughly enjoyed using a screw driver and their understanding of electrical circuits to put the console back together. They demonstrated great teamwork and perseverance, following instructions and working together. There is still the chance to bring in any e-waste or electrical items that can be re-used, these can be placed in the pink bins next to our dinner hall.

Year 1 had a great time studying design technology this term focussing on levers and sliders. First the children looked at different examples of levers and sliders, then they had an opportunity to make their own. The children made a car that moves along a road and a rabbit that jumps out of a hat. For their final piece, the children made a matching slider game. Well done Pyrenees class!
