The children have all enjoyed their second week of board games club, with some even bringing in their own games to share with others. I have been thrilled with the way the children have played together and discovered the joy of board games.
Year 3 were very lucky to take part in a workshop run by the “Queen of Rangoli”, international artist Ranbir Kaur. We had a fantastic day designing and then creating Rangoli patterns. We found out that these patterns are used as part of the festival of Diwali.
Wednesday this week, saw the KS2 children competing for their houses to find out who would emerge as Maths Champions for 2015. Every team consisted of one child from each year group. You can see how they were able to work together and provide the rest of the school with a really exciting competition.
This year is proving to be a really exciting one for Aydon, as they emerged the overall winners. Well done to all the team members who represented their house and equally well done to the rest of the school, who were a supportive audience.
Today we found out why we celebrate Bonfire Night and created some yummy chocolate sparklers. We enjoyed making them that much, we wrote recipes so other children could make and eat them too!
Year 2 have had a Halloween symmetry competition today. It was very tricky to pick a winning pair, luckily Mrs Miller was around to help us!
They were all superstars but the winning pair was Lewis George and Lewis Newsome! 🙂
Wow, what a brilliant assembly we have just had! I love the pumpkins and it really was almost impossible to choose! In the end a three way tie for first place was decided by my favourite pumpkin – the whale – deciding the overall result for Aydon! Miss Summers was delighted as she had ‘pumpkined up’ for the event!
Really well done every one and have a great half term!
In computing, we have been programming Bee-Bots to follow instructions using forwards, back, left and right. Today our Bee-Bots were navigating around a mat, where the places were on fire, just like the Great Fire of London!
Year 2 had great fun creating Tudor houses. They used black paper and charcoal pencils to create and design their own.
