YEAR 1

September 2024
‍In Year 1 our outdoor learning has focused on our geography topic – ‘ what is it like here?’ We have been following and creating maps. We have been looking at aerial views of the school and the grounds, finding features and drawing our own maps both by ourselves and within groups.

YEAR 3

September 2024
‍We have been very busy in Year 3 in LOTC this month. The children have taken their RE learning outdoors whilst the weather has been nice. They were exploring a painting of The Holy Family – ‘The Millais Carpenter’, where they needed to recreate the scene and explore what each person within the family might be thinking and saying to one another. The children then performed a freeze frame to the rest of the group. It was a great way to talk about families, and why they are so special. We have also had a visit from an Egyptian Workshop this month for our History topic. The children spent the day around the school grounds ‘hunting’, making things, having a feast. It was a fantastic day spent outside the classroom learning in a hands on way.

YEAR 5
‍

September 2024
‍Year 5 enjoyed following instructions to make paper aeroplanes. They had to work together with a partner to read and follow the instructions and then we tested out how far their aeroplanes could fly! We took some maths learning outside and children had to create calculations using natural objects. For example a leaf equals 7 and a stone 10. Children enjoyed experimenting with different strategies for making target numbers.
