Wed 29 Jan 2020Year 6 have been building on their digital art and learning how to create a 3D world, using a version of scratch to control their characters.

Y2 Elm - Science experiments
Fri 24 Jan 2020We had a great time looking at materials that were absorbent. We then moved onto looking in detail at cotton wool and seeing if it might return back to it’s original state. There was lots of water, lots of smiles and lots of fun predicting, but we soon discovered that once a cotton wool ball is wet it never can look like the original soft ball!

Y2 Elm - Art African Printing
Fri 24 Jan 2020We have been looking at Adinkra patterns this term that are used for printing on Traditional African textiles. We spent time looking carefully at the patterns and decided to design our own. It was great to see how the children interpreted words that they felt were important to their family (words like LOVE , CARE, PEACE and HAPPINESS ) and used these to create their own family symbol. We also used some animal patterns and tried wax resist techniques with paint which were really effective too.

Year 2 Maple R.E Judaism day
Fri 24 Jan 2020We were very excited to meet our visitor, Amy Troner, who came to speak to us about Judaism today. She showed us lots of items that are used in Jewish worship and some children even got the chance to demonstrate these at the front of the class.
The children learned a little bit of Hebrew and had a go at writing shema which means hear. It was very interesting comparing Judaism to lots of different faiths and seeing the similarities between them. We are looking forward to learning more about Judaism in our R.E lessons this term.

Fri 24 Jan 2020Elm class had a wonderful morning today when Amy Troner came to talk to us about her Jewish Faith. She showed us lots of items that are part of Jewish worship, and items that she would use to welcome the start of Shabbat.
The children read some Hebrew and even wrote shema in Hebrew which means hear. We made a scroll and we thought about the prayers in the Mezuzah which is fixed on every Jewish family home.

Armed with a map, the children led the route, deciding when to turn and when to stop at different points of interest. They did a super job and led us back to school in one piece - we even made friends with a squirrel!
