In computing the y5/6 explored what was meant by ‘animation’. We looked at different historical types of animation including a Zoetrope, Thaumatrope and flipbook, and found them to be single pictures that combine to make them move. We had great fun attempting to make our own Thaumatropes.
Diamond Class Activities
Hand Prayers
In collective worship, we worked with a partner to write hand prayers for the Prayer Tree. We read our prayers and thank God in our daily collective worships.
Pennies for Pudsey
The whole school brought in coins to see if they could cover Pudsey Bear to raise money for Children in Need. We nearly covered him and raised an amazing £117 for the charity.
Programming Games
Using provided coding blocks, Y3/4 matched an algorithm (of a previously played game) to create their own versions. We had lots of interesting themed games with a good variation of sprites and backgrounds.
Emotion Bottles
Year 5/6 have been learning about different emotions they may experience as they grow older. To help manage these, they made their own emotion bottles using different items for different emotions.
Celebration Collective Worship
Every enjoyed our second celebration collective worship of the year as there was so much for us to be proud of. Well done to those pupils who have worked hard in lessons to receive a certificate and also well done to our ‘Soar on Wings’ winners.
Mrs Eagle’s Leaving Assembly
We all said a fond goodbye to Mrs Eagle and we wish her well in her new job.
Area
The Year 4s have been exploring different ways of working out the area of a chape. We discovered that, using sticky notes, we could make lots of different shapes and still have the same area.
Harvest Festival
The Whole school community met together at our church to celebrate Harvest Festival with Reverend Phil. We sang hymns and thanked God for all the wonderful things in our world. Our harvest produce was donated to Martham food bank.
