3KR Play Scripts!

29th February 2020Katy Royal

We’ve started a new topic in literacy – PLAY SCRIPTS! The children are doing such a good job, here’s their fantastic acting from today’s lesson:

A scene from Fantastic Mr Fox:

Group 1 – Summer’s group

Group 2 – Corey’s group

Group 3 – Ralph’s group

Group 4 – Laceymay’s group

Group 5 – Maya’s group

 

The children were asked the question ‘how are you going to bring the words to life?’ I think you’d agree, they certainly managed it.

Well done everyone,

Mrs Royal

 

 

Year 3 and 4 Science Club

25th February 2020Katy Royal

Year 3 and 4 science club started today! The children began with an eruption… as they made volcanoes. They worked as a team to shape playdough into volcano shapes and then added the chemicals. This was a mixture of bicarb soda, squirty hand soapand red food dye. After that, the children poured in some vinegar which reacted with the other ingredients and erupted out of the volcano! Thank goodness it wasn’t real lava. The children discussed how the mixture gave off carbon dioxide!

After clearing up, the children did a chromatography experiment to investigate if the colour black was only black or if it was made up of other colours. The children drew a pea sized dot on a piece of kitchen roll and then dipped the end into some salty water. The paper towel absorbed the water up and the children were able to see the various colours. There were some very surprising results!

 

See you next week children,

Mrs Royal

Bye Bye John!

21st February 2020Natalie Jewitt

On Friday 14th February we said an emotional farewell to John, our Lollipop Man, as he retired for the second time in his life.

John has been helping children to cross Stanhope Road for many years and he has decided to hand in his lolly pop stick.

We were able to say one last goodbye and good luck to him as he came into a special assembly attended by the whole school and his family.

RNLI Visit

12th February 2020Natalie Jewitt

Today the RNLI volunteers, Alex and Alex, visited Ashley Primary School and taught the children from Year 1 to year 5 all about water safety.

The main points we learned about were:

1 Stop and think

2 Stay together

3 Float

4 Call 999/112

Hopefully if you speak to your child they will explain more about each point. If not – have a look at the RNLI website.
