The latest from your child's classroom
This week in Year 6, Oak Class have explored the freaky story of The Water Tower- a story in which some very ‘strange “people” live. We have written chilling descriptions of these odd people, and told them in true ‘ghost-story-fashion’ under torch light! ​
Dandelion class have been experimenting with Beebots in computing. We’re learning all about algorithms and debugging. Today we started designing our Beebot maps ready for our programming next week. Buzzzz!
Year 4 have been thoroughly enjoying our start to Forest School, and even maintained our high spirits when several of us slipped and fell FACE FIRST into the mud! Here are some images that capture the fun that we have had so far…
It’s science week and Dandelion class have been busy observing frog spawn! We’re hoping that they’ll hatch in the next few weeks and there will be some tadpoles to release into the pond on Hampstead heath!
Last week, Willow class visited the CLC and created their own music. Using professional Logic software, they learnt how to build up a piece of music with drums, bass and a horn section. They even had the opportunity to show off their piano skills with MIDI keyboards. The finished pieces of music are all very different to each other and show just how hard every child worked throughout the day!
You can listen to their music here.
The mood of love has struck Bramble class as this week we have been busy writing passionate and persuasive love letters. Despereaux the mouse is in a puzzling predicament. Pea’s beautiful face has caught Despereaux’s eye and he longs to escape the torment of his family and be with her. We are using flattery, the rule of three, exaggeration and much more to get our point across! You, blog readers, are simply the most radiant, good looking and dazzling audience ever to exist!

A boggart is type of mythical creature that protects the forest.
Pete and Paula’s boggarts have been stolen! The police are looking for the criminals! We have been doing Forest School sessions with Pete and Paula this half term, so they think that we (Year 3 Fern class) have stolen their precious boggarts. But we didn’t!
This week in literacy we have been working on our persuasive writing, to try and convince Pete, Paula and the police that we didn’t do the horrible crime!
In Year 3 Fern class we made Chinese New Year lanterns during our Forest School session!
We decorated them with Chinese new year animals and Chinese calligraphy.
Last week, Daisy class went to the Tower of London as part of our History topic on old and new buildings. We met a knight who told us all about life in the castle for a King, Queen and Knight. We even got to see the Crown jewels which are guarded by soldiers!
Our writing this week has been linked to writing descriptions of the crown jewels and seeing a dragon in the White Tower.
This blog has been written by Bramble class altogether as a shared write!
This week in FAB with Saul we got to build fun instruments including drums and shakers from junk! The kinds of junk we used were saved from recycled rubbish from home. We were also very lucky because Saul brought in all sort of other materials we needed to make them properly. While constructing them, we explored sounds that they made and thought about trying to include two or more tones. By the end of the workshop Louise’s ears had nearly burst as the drums, shakers and now horns blasted down the corridor.
