RE in Dragonfly class

This term we are learning all about what it is like to be Hindu today. This week we were thinking about how Hindu’s show their faith when they are together.  We learnt all about Mandir’s which are Hindu temples and Bhajans which are the songs used in worship that are devoted to different deities. The children were tasked in groups to give a presentation about an image of an aspect of the Hindu worship and explain its importance. Everyone spoke with great confidence! 

Plant Hunting in Dragonfly class

On Thursday we channelled our inner Plant Hunter and went searching and identifying different plants around the school. We tried our best to use knowledge of plants we already knew of as well as discovering new plants we hadn’t seen before! We then tried to decide if the plant was Native or Non Native the UK. Finally, when back in the classroom we learned all about famous plant hunters who job it is to introduce new plants to the UK from other countries.

An earthquake in Dragonfly class!

As part of our Geography topic this term ‘Earth Matters’ we have been learning about Earthquakes and how they happen. Yesterday we learnt that the magnitude of earthquakes are measured on the Richter scale which indicates the amount of energy released at the earthquakes source. We also had a look at a seismograph and learnt that it is an instrument used to detect and record ground motion caused by seismic waves that are generated by earthquakes. So to consolidate our learning we had a go at creating our own Earthquakes and measuring their seismic waves on our home made seismographs!

Dragonflies trip to Xplore!

Yesterday, in Dragonflies we had our trip to Xplore! We had a fantastic day exploring the different hands on exhibits, as well as an excellent workshop all about light and sound. We learnt all about refraction, the dangers of UV light, shadows, and an excellent demonstration to consolidate our learning about how light travels in straight lines! The children all had a fantastic time and represented our school fabulously.
