Emerald Class Activities
Information Technology Around Us
The Years 1 and 2 have been developing their understanding of what Information Technology (IT) is and discussing where it can be seen. They have explored the benefits of IT in the wider world and role played how devices can work together in familiar places such as shops. They also considered how to use IT safely and discussed the different rules that might be associated with using them.
Parts of a Computer
Reception have been looking at what computers are and how they can be seen all around us. To become more familiar with computers, we have created our own junk model laptops, looked at different inputs and outputs and used some simple drawing apps.
Healthy Science
As scientists, we have been learning about ho to keep ourselves healthy. We learnt that we need a healthy balanced diet and regular exercise to stay healthy. Germs can make us ill so we designed posters to help remind us to practice good hygiene.
In our ‘Circles’ collective worship, we have been discussing these questions:

Saint Telemachus
Reverend Andrew visited to lead a collective worship. He told us about the story of Saint Telemachus and we thought about how it is sometimes difficult but always right to stand up for what we believe in.
A great Big Thank You!
We would like to thank Mr and Mrs Thompson from Filby Post Office for their very kind donation of £500 from the proceeds of their Charity Shed for our outdoor play equipment and reflection area. This will really help us to quickly purchase all we need.
Thank you!
KS1 Football
A team of eager KS1 pupils showed off their teamwork and passing and dribbling techniques this week by taking part in our cluster’s KS1 Football event. Everyone thought it was good fun and even though they felt a bit nervous to begin with, all announced trying the different skills was great.
World Book Day
We enjoyed dressing up as our favourite book characters for World Book Day. We took part in different activities and enjoyed sharing stories with our circles groups.
