Week Beginning 22.04.24

In DT, we have been making different types of burgers. We put together a shopping list and bought the ingredients in Asda. We made different types of burgers (beef and turkey) and followed the recipes. They enjoyed testing and trying the different types of meat. In following weeks, we will explore different toppings. 

Week beginning 18.03.24

This week in Science, Shark class have been learning about plants.  We have looked into what we need for plants to grow and how we plant them.  We have started our own experiment of growing our own plants.  We buried our bean into the soil and we are watering them every day.  

The Selfish Giant

20.3.24

Springwell School were lucky enough to have a visit from a theatre company who came in to act out a version of The Selfish Giant.  Some of the children were asked to be involved, including children from Shark class.

They each had their own part to act out, which they did brilliantly.  They also had to join in with singing the songs and signing them alongside. The whole school joined in with this part.  It was a brilliant show. 

World Book Day 2024

Shark Class brought in their favourite books from home, some of the children dressed up as their favourite characters. 

W/B 04/03/24 History

For the last couple of weeks we have been looking at significant nurses through History - so far we have explored the life of Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole. In the latest lesson we played a board game: every time we landed on an image we had to answer a question about the life of Mary Seacole to move along the board further. 

W/B 12.02.24 - Music

We have been concentrating on using our voices and changing the pitch of our voice. We have sung a variety of songs and followed the pitch and changed accordingly. 

We drew a line that was to represent our voices and then made a noise like a bird following the pitch being dictated by the line. 

W/C 05/02/2024    Computing.

The children in shark class have been learning about emails and how they are used to communicate. They are progressing on opening, composing and sending emails. 

The children received a special email from Mrs Westley to help her track down the cake thief! In groups the children composed their own reply on a shared laptop. They then as a class wrote a reply and sent it. We are awaiting another email - it is very exciting!

W/C - 29/01/24  Geography.

Our topic this term is rainforests. The children in shark class have enjoyed learning about the different layers of the rainforest and the animals that live there. We have made a beautiful display in the classroom showing off our wonderful work.

W/C 08/01/2024     Geography

We have begun our Geography work this week looking at tropical rainforests. We have looked at where they are located on the map and what conditions they have in common. We looked at the weather conditions in these locations and were then given the task of producing and presenting a weather forecast for rainforests in Brazil, Australia and Indonesia. 

Shark class have been reading 'The day the crayons quit' we have linked this in with world mental health day.
