Castles in Year 3

This week, we have been completing our Design and Technology project! We practised constructing 3D shapes out of nets and then we used these skills, along with junk modelling, to create our own castles. We tried to personalise these with flags and other features of a castle such as drawbridges.

This Week in Year 6

British Science Week

The children at Lord Scudamore have enjoyed being scientists during British Science Week. We’ve studied famous scientists from Jane Goodall to Greta Thunberg. We also engaged with the Medical Mavericks for some online assemblies and experiments. Our favourite was seeing the effect our sense of smell has on our taste – especially as we got […]

Area and Perimeter City in Year 5

This week, in maths, we have been focusing on area and perimeter and understanding the difference between the two. We began the week by working out perimeter of rectangles and rectilinear shapes before moving on to area of rectangles and compound shapes. To show our understanding, we have a chance to build our own area […]

British Science Week in Year 3

Beebots in Year 1

Year 1 children have been learning to program Beebots. We had a go at each becoming a human Beebot and a human controller, before creating our own Beebot worlds and directing our Beebots around the map.

Forest School in Nursery

Reception enjoyed a lovely visit to the Eco Garden today, in the sunshine!  We found lots of footprints and matched them to the woodland animals. We then worked together to build some fantastic homes for the foxes, squirrels, moles, etc.  The children are really looking forward to next week’s Forest School session! 

Monkeying around in Year 2!

This week Year 2 were surprised to find 3 mischievous monkeys had created havoc around the school. The children then had to write a letter detailing what the cheeky monkeys had done and explain when the monkeys were ready to collect from the Eco Garden. 

Oatcakes in Year 3

In Year 3 we have been looking at the Celts and how their way of life was different to that during the Stone Age. Last term, we made fruit stew from the Stone Age and this term we have made oatcakes! Most children agreed that these were much nicer than the oatcakes and decided we […]
