Using virtual reality headsets, Eagle Owl class watched clips on bullying and had discussions about how to prevent such behaviour. During the clip, the children had to watch closely to decide who to ask questions to about what had taken place.
Eagle Owl have been learning about the Maya Culture.
The Maya used masks for a variety of reasons and occasions
These included:
The children designed and created their own masks.
Eagle Owl Class have been using a range of practical skills to create and repair Anderson Shelters. They have been: cutting, sanding, filing, screwing and gluing. The children were set the task of making sure these skills were put to effective use, thinking carefully about their Anderson shelter design and size.
Here are a few pictures form our WW2 themed challenge time:
Eagle Owl class are exploring forces this half-term. The children have been looking at the effects of friction and different materials on the movement of objects and this week looked at how air resistance and gravity can effect how quickly objects fall. We planned our experiment to ensure that all variables were considered and that we were testing fairly. Once we had collected our results the children found out the ‘average’ for each of their set of results so that we could draw a more fair conclusion.
This week Eagle Owl class have been using the fantastic archery sets kindly donated to the school by a previous student.
This week as part of ‘Anti-bullying week’ Eagle Owl class have explored the various forms of bullying. One of the areas we have talked about the most is homophobic bullying. The children realised that some of the words we can use can be hurtful and offensive towards others. We shared our opinions on how we could make the school a more inclusive place.
Eagle Owl Class have been exploring division methods this week. We have been learning the compact and expanded methods for solving problems and applying these to word problems.
In our writing we have been focusing upon newspaper writing and have identified what makes a successful new report. We have also been looking at different ways to introduce our witness report and the grammar associated with this.
As part of our SMSC learning, we have focused upon the social aspects of World War II, specifically the social implications when building an Anderson shelter, focusing upon working together and sharing resources. We then, as a class, created our own collaborate Anderson shelter.
We had a fantastic afternoon at the KS2 Cross Country Competition. Here are some pictures of us:
