The Curiosity Channel

We have set up our own ‘YouTube’ channel called The Curiosity Channel, where viewers can write in with any of their scientific questions and we will try to create an explainer video to help them understand the answer to their question. The class have worked hard to write an introductory script, created a logo and a tune for the show. They have used Abode to put all of these elements together for our first video. Since sharing the video on our channel (on Hwb) we have been asked a question about electrical circuits. Can we help?

Australia!

Year 3 and 4 had a great morning celebrating a day of ‘Australia’. We baked some lamington cakes, made boomerangs, painted didgeridoos and created some Australia artwork. They all had a fabulous time.

The Rainbow Serpent

Today we read ‘The Rainbow Serpent’ which is an Aboriginal Dreamtime story. After discussing the story, we worked in groups to complete our activities. Some children decided to develop their AI skills by using Adobe to generate a illustration of the rainbow serpent; some learners listened to some didgeridoo rhythms and then looked at some images of different didgeridoos before creating their own. We also created our own dance based on the movements that the animals in the story make.

Lego Spike Essential-Rainforest Buggy

This afternoon we had great fun creating a rainforest buggy for explorer Bethan using the Lego Spike Essential from our cluster coding kit. We followed the instructions carefully to create the buggy and then we used our programming skills to change the colour of the lights. Great team Work!

Community as a Superpower!

This year, the ‘Power of Community’ was the refugee Week theme. Together we are very strong, creative and make things happen.

We assembled in marquee on the field and we spilt into four mixed aged groups. Each group was responsible for making each bird; the tern, the swift, the whooper swan and the red kite.

Each child had their very own hand-held bird which they decorated. 

We also created our own nest by weaving ripstop ribbons around willow.

In the afternoon, we took our individual birds on a journey ‘around the world’ through the obstacle course depicting the ice, sea, wind and even a volcano!  We thought carefully about all of the things that we noticed about our journey.

. 

At the end of the day, we gently carried our large birds to meet each other and ‘perch’ on the Kite’s nest.  This represented the Kite offering Sanctuary to the migrants for as long as they need it.

We were very grateful to Larry and Ciara and their team of willing volunteers that enabled us to be strong, creative and to make wonderful things happen!
