Congo Class
A Very Creative Way To Explore Tables
Children in Congo Class have been investigating the patterns made by different times tables, using a 10-point circle. They made points on the circle for each ‘ones digit’ up to twelve, then joined up the points. The patterns made are incredibly interesting, and helped us the see some connections between different tables. What amazing work you’ve all done!
World Mental Health Day
Congo Class children have been celebrating World Mental Health day by creating dances to show different scenarios, reflecting feelings of worry or anxiety, which might be natural when we go through change. The children have worked hard on varying the dynamics to show moods. Great work, Congo Class!
Forest School – Tuesday 24th May 2022
We have had such a fantastic time participating in Forest Schools this half-term and today was particularly fun! Despite the weather, we had a still great time (and Mrs Bishop managed to keep our fire going)! We spent time playing and then took turns to whittle a piece of hazel, wrap dough around the hazel and then bake our bread on the fire. It was delicious, especially with golden syrup on the middle! Such a lovely end to our wonderful Forest School sessions!
How Cool is your Drink?
Children in Congo Class have had an amazing day, evaluating, planning and making their own soft drinks! After discussing a few fizzy drink adverts on YouTube, they decided they could do better. What amazing ideas you all had, and well done with the language you used when you evaluated commercial drinks. Some of you even went a bit further, designing packaging for your drinks. Well done, all.
Congo Homework Project
A massive well done to Congo Class children (and their families) for a 100% amazing turnout in their recent homework project – to make a model volcano, with written information.
We had such a variety of volcanoes. Some ‘worked’ with vinegar and bicarbonate of soda, some were edible (one had icing made with tomato ketchup) and many were detailed cross-sections.
I was so impressed with the way children explained to the class how they completed their projects, and also with the way they talked to Colorado class, when they came to visit our ‘Volcano Museum’.
