Our Stanmore Swimmers

Children from year 4 and 5 represented the school brilliantly this week in the pool. They not only practised twice at Kings, but then attended a swimming gala against other schools. They were a credit to themselves. A big thank you to parents who supported the children today, and for Miss Kelly and Mr Firth, who have worked incredibly hard to make sure this event could take place.

Maple Class

This week Maple class got the opportunity to go to Forest School. They absolutely loved the experience. They got to roast marshmallows over the fire and made smores. They got to go on the slackline and rope swing. They used the mud kitchen to make some delicious meals and some children created a bug hotel. Other played in the hammock and had a rest while enjoying the beautiful weather. They are already looking forward to going again!

Rowan Class

To finish off our RE unit on Special Books, we created our own Torahs. Inside our Torahs, we wrote a rule that we need to follow at school, we even looked at how it would look if we were to write it in Hebrew.

We looked at a real Torah, and saw images of Arks, which the name for the ornamental chamber where the special book is kept.

Birch

In maths this week, Year 3 have started a new unit on shape. Today, we have been exploring right angles and using our Pac Man style angle eaters to find examples of them in our classroom. The children were excited to find many examples of right angles as well as angles that are not right angles. I wonder how many objects you have at home that have a right angle?

Sycamore

This week Sycamore Class have been learning about electricity and making circuits. We had explored how to make a complete circuit and then we needed to correct lots of circuits that weren’t working.

Year 5 and 6

Year 5 and 6 have enjoyed a sunny session in Forest school: toasting marshmallows over a campfire, whittling and building dens. Continuing with our study of The spider and the fly poem, we have written letters to other insects warning them to avoid the spider's charms in case they end up at dinner!

Year 6 have been superstar writers over the last couple of weeks and we are all incredible proud of them
