Enjoying our Learning

Computing, D&T, Geography, Music

Puffins have enjoyed their first music lesson this week! We all played ‘guess the sound’ to introduce different types of instruments. The children then all got to have a go at playing an instrument. They then practised singing/rapping a song from ‘charanga’.

The children have been looking at a birds eye view of the school and grounds. They then identified key human and physical features on a map.

Puffins have been carrying on with their project in design and technology. This week the children got to design their photos frames and make a list of all the key features that they want to include when building.

Puffins have enjoyed using the bee bots this week. They have been navigating a board using directions forwards and backwards.

Anti-Bullying Week

Computing, PSHE, Science

This week was a special week in school – anti-bullying week. The theme was one kind word. Puffins in a circle time, sharing acts of kindness that they have either received or done themselves. We then brainstormed acts and words of kindness which are displayed around the room.

In our online safety lesson the children learnt all about how to stay safe when using the internet. They learnt facts and have created their own online safety posters following the lesson.

Puffins found this week’s science lesson very interesting. We looked at the human body, different parts and how they work. The children were very keen to learn more about the bodily functions. They particularly took an interest in the ‘Hymn’ statue by Damien Hirst. Children then took part in a science experiment to see who could jump the furthest and whether leg length contributed to this.

Puffins had their first computing lesson this week! They learnt how to long on and practised their typing skills.

In English, Puffins had a go at hot seating a nursery rhyme character. They worked in pairs to write and ask ‘Little Bo Peep’ and ‘Humpty Dumpty’ some questions.
