We learnt all about food in the Stone Age food today by going hunter gathering! The children had a great time hunting for food and animal information in the community garden. We then learnt what foods were eaten and in what seasons. The children also learnt about changes throughout the Stone Age.
Class Three started their multiplication and division topic by looking at arrays. We looked at egg boxes and baking trays and then moved on to chocolate! The children drew the array they could see, identified the rows and columns in each array and then recorded the multiplication and division facts. We has a fantastic time while learning all about arrays.
Class Three enjoyed a fantastic workshop with Diana from NISCU. We identified sources of light and compared these to Jesus such as car headlights lighting the path like Christians believe Jesus guides the way. For each source of light, we examined an extract from The Bible explaining why Jesus is called the ‘Light of the World’. We then each made a lantern with some of the quates on. This was a brilliant start to our topic.
On Tuesday, all pupils from nursery to Y6 enjoyed an immersive afternoon learning about art from the Hindu, Buddhist, Islamic and Jewish faiths.
Class Three had a wonderful day visiting Keswick Museum and Castlerigg Stone Circle. The children loved seeing the stone circle and could recall facts they had learnt during our art topic. We constructed a timeline at the museum identifying key events in history. We then split into groups and all had chance to hold Stone Age axe heads found in a cave on the Pike of Stickle. We were also archaeologists and carried out a dig, we then interpreted the finds to identify the period of history these were from. We also looked at Stone Age artefacts in the museum and had the opportunity to look at the other exhibits. The children really enjoyed the day and had chance to use and extend their knowledge.
This week we welcomed ‘Murphy’ the volunteer police horse and his rider Amanda, when the police came to school. Murphy is one of a team of horses and riders supporting our local community to keep everyone safe. During our visit, we learned all about Murphy’s role across the local area. We also learnt about how to keep ourselves safe on rural roads from our local PC Jane Park.
Everyone in school enjoyed the opportunity to say hello! We even made Murphy a special Levens award.
Today, our school had the wonderful opportunity to experience Relax Kids with Marvellous Mel. The children took part in mindfulness, relaxation, and different well-being activities. The activities allowed everyone to unwind and connect with themselves and each other.
We have been learning to make observational drawings of natural objects. We started by focusing on the different variations of lines.
Our DT topic this half term was to make our own fruit salad. We had a variety of fruits to choose from. We learnt the different chopping techniques.
