Noticeboard

Year 5 have been busy bringing the Ancient Inca Empire to life throughout their Discovery sessions.

 

We have been writing about aspects such as how the Incas began, their religion and comparing peasant and royal life.  We also had some fun creating freeze frames and short role plays to embed this discovery!

 

We are looking forward to sharing more of this with you during our Class Assembly on Tuesday 21st May!

We have been learning about Jack and the Beanstalk. This week we planted our beans and drew castles. Let's see if the beanstalk can grow all of the way to the castle. 

Year 2 have been thinking about the heartbreaking problem of plastic pollution and climate change. We got the Lego out to create scenes of what is happening in our oceans. This encouraged us to discuss the topic and recall language we had learnt earlier this week. Some children even made Lego models of Sir David Attenborough!  

Take a look at Year 1's fantastic creative homework for our current topic of Under the Sea. We have been 'wowed' by all the different sea creatures. The children have learnt some awesome facts about their sea animals which they have loved sharing in class.

We're working hard - but also taking time to relax and enjoy the lovely environment at Lickhill.

Year 6 have enjoyed making this creative display using co-ordinates

Year 4

This week Year 4 have been looking at decimal numbers. We have matched, played snap, made posters and finally used these numbers for accurate measurements. We are converting measurements taken in centimeters into the equivalent metre measurements.

In the last weeks of Spring Term, Year 3 were learning all about our native honeybees, the importance of beekeeping and how honey is made.

The children wrote fabulous non-fiction fact files about everything they discovered and drew beautifully detailed pictures of honeybees too.

At the end of the project, all children had the opportunity to explore our school colony. We spotted eggs, larvae, baby bees emerging from their cells, drones and even the queen.

 

This was also a really special day as we carried our brand new school hive to the apiary too. Stay tuned for more about that later.

 

Did you know? Beekeepers are also called honey farmers, apiarists, or less commonly, apiculturists (both from the Latin word for bee, apis).
