Elm Maths Party

What a great turnout for the party today! The children enjoyed challenging their parents and engaging in a variety of activities. Thanks for coming! 

Palm's poetry

Over the past few weeks years 6 have been working on poetry with extended metaphors. Together we went to the old school building to get some inspiration. We can with ideas that the building was a dinosaur, a vagrant, a dragon. Using as many techniques as we could we had a go at writing some of our own poem. The finished pieces were fabulous!

Elm demonstrate reciprocity and reflection

This morning, the children in Elm class are working hard with their partners to edit and improve their writing, Each child is showing great sensitivity and tact while helping their partner uplevel their work and as you can see- they are engrossed in their work! 

Elm set maths party Friday!

A quick reminder that Elm maths' set will be having their maths party this Friday at 9am in the New Hall. Please check with your child whether they are in this class as some Maple children are taught maths by Miss Chau. 

The class have lots of fun activities and games planned and are looking forward to working with their parents and carers.

Elm Star Writer

This week our star writer is Sophie Nickson. Sophie wrote an interesting chronological recount using a variety of openers, fitting vocabulary and careful sentence structure. 

Well done Sophie! 

Maple Seek A Solution

Today in Science the children in Maple class investigated which materials when mixed with water created a solution. They tested sugar, salt, wax, sand, coffee, flour, chalk, oil and clay. Then using filter paper , they attempted to separate the material from the water.

Tracker awards

A big well done to Kirsty White, Simona Raklevicius and Emily Morton for earning prizes for their efforts to earn merits in their Platinum trackers. Great job girls! Keep it up!

Coconut's Sharing Assembly

A big thank you to all of the parents and carers that came to Coconut's show-stopping sharing assembly this morning. Coconut jam-packed their assembly with their knowledge about fossils, metaphors, poetry, Muhammed Ali Learning Challenge facts and even a group dance! The finale consisted of Coconut showing off their sound bites about weather around Harold Hill! Fantastic assembly Year 6, Miss Porter, Mrs Chance and Mrs Marchant! 

How old is the earth?

How long is a roll of toilet paper?!

In science we quickly realised how old the Earth is compared to how long humans have been on the Earth using toilet roll.

The children all created a timeline and discovered that told us how many sheets of toilet roll had passed by before we reach human life on Earth. It was only at the end of the last sheet of toilet roll that we could add our existence.

We then moved on too look more at Charles Darwin and his theory of Natural Selection.

Converting measurements? No problem!

Coconut maths group enjoyed sorting a tarsia puzzle that had different measure conversions on them! Some found it tough, however, we were resilient and we all completed our tasia puzzles in the end. Those who had finished their own popped round and became advisors to the rest.
