SATS information meeting 16.10.2023
Thank you to those that managed to attend our SATs information meeting last night. Apologies to those that had problems with the link. I'm so glad that we are no longer reliant on these online meetings as the technology is always a challenge!
Here is the Powerpoint with all the information that you need, but further information will come out nearer the time.
If you have any questions please let me know - we have Parent Teacher consultations coming up very shortly, where I'm happy to discuss any concerns that you might have too.
Thanks!
Mrs Bond
DT Playgrounds
This half term the children have been really enjoying creating their playgrounds in DT. We designed the playgrounds before using different materials to bring them to life, learning how to reinforce and use different joining methods to make climbing frames, swings, monkey bars and more! We then added landscaping and used cladding to create shelter to finish off our playgrounds.
The weather was kind to us so we had a great day of outdoor learning today! We made our very own aerial maps of the school site using a floorplan of the building to help us. Our first job was to position the school and the mobile classroom correctly by measuring the KS2 playground. We used trundle wheels, metre sticks and 50m tape measures. We then converted the measurement from metres to centimetres and halved it to scale it down to size. This helped us to work out the position of the buildings. We then measured the KS1 playground and added this to our maps. Finally this afternoon each group chose a tree and we used measurement methods to approximate their height and their age. We added these to our maps, finding out their Latin names as we have been focussing on classification in our Science topic this half term. All in all a fun day outdoors using all kinds of measure!
