• Year 6 Problem - Solving Day

  Thu 30 Mar 2023 Miss Duffy

  It has been a busy day of problem solving in Year 6 today. We have all stretched ourselves, thinking logically with lots of team work and resilience. Just brilliant! We focused on being systematic and taking small steps to help the children solve their problems (e.g. finding their way to starting a jigsaw with the corner and edge pieces) or being methodical with their working (scanning each line in turn when doing word searches for a particular letter).

   

  Year 6 enjoyed learning about morse code in their Commando Joe session with Mr Quigley. The children worked together to create their own sentences/questions/commands and cracked the codes by relaying messages using torches to their team members. Tricky stuff well done Year 6!

  In our science topic this term Year 2 have been learning all about plants. We have discussed the different parts of a plant and found out what plants need to grow. We planted our bean plants 2 weeks ago and have been watching them grow. We have watered them everyday and have measured them once a week. Some of our plants are more than 20 cm tall! Here are a selection of some of our plants
