On Tuesday, reception held a ‘Marvellous Machines Incredible Invention Convention’ to show off all their work to their grown ups, that they have completed during their topic ‘Marvellous Machines’.
Reception had their last little dribblers session this week. They have absolutely loved learning how to throw, pass, catch, dribble, stop and control a ball. Thank you to Phil our coach for teaching us all of these amazing skills!
In Year 1, we have been creating digital images in the style of an artist as part of our computing topic.
Thank you so much to our Monty, who brought in lots of fresh fruit to share with his Year 3 classmates 🍏🍊🍌🍓
Year Four had a fantastic morning at St Oswald’s on Tuesday. We watched a Christmas movie, took part in some festive activities and even had time for a few treats! It was lovely to spend time with our penpals 🎄🧑🎄
Year Five participated in some heartwarming community engagement today when we went to Monkton Methodist church hall to sing some festive songs to the Alzheimer’s Society. After visiting them last year, we were asked back to bring some Christmas cheer once again and we DEFINITELY managed to do that!
The children showed their fabulous, confident Oracy skills and made their teachers very proud as they sang and danced along with their audience with amazing enthusiasm! They mingled and chatted away to their new found friends and made some people very happy today! Well done Year Five you made Bede Burn tremendously proud!
Year 5 took great pride in presenting their DT creations, which encompassed all their learning in our Moving Mechanisms topic, to our visiting engineer, Craig Wilkinson.
Their remit was to invent something strong and stable, that would be useful around the home and that involved using a pneumatic system.
The children made use of their strong Oracy skills as they articulated the purpose of their invention to Craig and the rest of the class, explaining exactly how it should work.
Craig was very impressed by the range of ideas and, even though not all of them worked, the intent and overall effort made by everyone was congratulated.
Year 5 completed their next Computing unit on Friday, which was all about Video Production. We first discussed videos and their techniques. Then, we wrote storyboards to help us in our plan before producing our own videos focussing on different video framing techniques. We finished by editing our videos on iMovie to improve them further.
Year 5 had their next Forest School session, which was linked to our current Science unit- Earth and Space. We explored how Sundials work and learned about the phases of the moon. Check out some of our photos!
Year One had a fun afternoon on Friday putting all their multi skills to task at Temple Park.
