A big thank you

A huge thank you to our parents for coming to watch us sing our new class song and then watch our silent movies. The children were very proud of themselves, as they should be.

A Recipe For A Storm

Today 4CW were using their Tempest workshops to write a recipe for a terrible storm at sea, using a mix of Shakespearean language, imperative verbs and brilliant imaginations.

Imagine what it must have been like on a ship trapped in a storm during the 17th Century. 4CW lived it!

 

Exciting Stuff!

4CW were the first children ever to find a Spring Tail at Solaris. In 15 years no one had seen one in the pond. Very exciting!

Pond Dipping

4CW have done their second visit to the pond at Solaris to see how it changes over the year. We found that there was a big change in temperature and mini beasts.

What does it mean to be a leader or a follower? In our Tempest workshop today we assumed both roles and experienced the fun and frustrations felt.

Remainders.

A lot of grown ups panic when asked to divide with a remainder. Research shows that letting children teach each other how to do something provides great results.  Here we are teaching each other how to divide two digit numbers where there will be a remainder.
