🔊🪇 Sound Investigation in Year 2! 🪇🔊 In Year 2, students have been investigating how different materials and actions can affect the volume and pitch of sound. Using bottles brought from home, students added rice and a variety of pasta to design and create their very own musical instruments. Through hands-on exploration, students discovered that high-pitched sounds are created by fast vibrations and higher frequencies, while low-pitched sounds are produced by slower vibrations and lower frequencies. There was so much excitement, curiosity, and music-making as our young scientists explored sound in action! 🎶🎵🤩

🦴 Year 4 have been busy exploring the amazing human body! This week, our young scientists learned all about bones and the important jobs they do. From protecting our organs to helping us move, we discovered how our skeleton keeps us strong and supported. The students enjoyed identifying different bones, learning their names, and finding out fun facts about the human body. There were lots of curious questions and enthusiastic discussions along the way!

🌏💚 Year 2 Liturgy of the Word – Caring for God’s Creation 💚🌏 On Wednesday 29th April, our Year 2 students gathered in the hall for a beautiful Liturgy of the Word focused on Caring for God’s Creation. This special celebration was the culmination of their Religion learning, exploring the question: “How can we show empathy to care for God’s Creation?” Through prayer, singing, and bringing the Scripture of the Creation Story to life, students reflected on how we are called to be the Church by caring for our common home through our words and actions. Thank you to the many parents and friends who joined us for this meaningful celebration of faith, community, and solidarity. We are so proud of our Year 2 students for sharing their learning and living their faith so beautifully. 🍃✨🙏

🌏☀️ Year 1 Scientists Exploring Shadows! ☀️🌏 Today, our Year 1 students became scientists as they investigated shadows and the movement of the Sun through hands-on inquiry learning. Using chalk, students traced their shadows before midday and then returned after 1pm to observe and compare how the size and direction of their shadows changed throughout the day. Through this investigation, students explored how the Sun’s position in the sky changes during the day and affects the length and direction of shadows, helping deepen their understanding of Earth’s relationship with the Sun and how our planet experiences day and night. There was so much excitement, curiosity, and rich discussion as students made observations, asked questions, and discovered science in action right in our playground! 🔍✨

✍️📚 Amazing Writing in Year 5! 📚✍️ Our Year 5 writers have been busy applying their literacy learning to craft engaging and informative factual paragraphs. Using fact files on topics of interest, students identified strong main ideas, selected relevant supporting evidence, and carefully drafted, revised, and edited their work to strengthen their writing. They challenged themselves to write well-structured sentences using technical vocabulary and rich word choices, ensuring their paragraphs not only informed the reader but captured their interest from the very first sentence. We are incredibly proud of the persistence, creativity, and growing confidence our young authors are demonstrating in their Writing Workshops. 🌟👏 Keep up the fantastic work, Year 5!
