The Bike It project

We have joined a project as part of our School Travel Plan called Bike It. This week we are blinging ourselves and our bikes to remind us of the importance of being seen in the dark now that the evenings are getting darker earlier.

If you would like more information on the project, it is run by a group called Sustrans:

Year 3 Dinosaurs

During the topic of Dinosaurs the year 3 children made dinosaurs with parts of it that moved. This was part of our DT topic on pneumatics. We really enjoyed making them. Here are a couple of the dinosaurs from 3R and 3S.

Year 3 Creative Day.

On Creative day year 3 were designing their own inventions to help them with an everyday problem, for example always waking up late. They worked in groups to come up with an invention that would solve the problem. All the year 3's enjoyed making their inventions. Here are a few pictures of the different inventions.

Multi-Cultural Week

This week is Multi-Cultural week at school

Year 3 are learning about China.
Year 4 are learning about India.
Year 5 are learning about Mexico.
Year 6 are learning about South Africa.

It's been an exciting week so far, with Year 3 and 5, departing to their countries from the UK on planes, they even made passports and had to have security checks! There's been food tasting and lots of lovely art work.

We will add some pictures soon.

Our last day of activities at Kingswood

We have faced our fears caving, abseiling and climbing on the Leap of Faith (even the teachers!) Tonight we are collecting our souvenirs and starting the challenge of packing to come home - see you soon!

Kingswood Wednesday Night madness!

We braved the windy beach for a beachcomber competition, sang songs around the bonfire and then had a mad five minutes dressing up!

Venture Week - Wednesday

Today was so much fun as we got to be evacuees in World War II. We were evacuated to the countryside on a steam train. When we arrived the locals decided if we could stay with them - some of us were chosen as we were fit and stong to work on the land, but some of us didn't get anywhere to live!

We learnt about Air Raid Precautions, tried on gas masks, watered the garden and looked after the vegetables and we even made our OWN LUNCH!!

We hope you like our photos.

School Dinner Menus

In response to some posts about school dinner choices, here is the Barking and Dagenham school meal menus site. Most of the time our meals are the same as the ones shown here.

Year 6 Venture Week - Tuesday

Today has been a busy day on site. We have been brave and all tried to abseil, rock climb and go caving. Last night's disco was good and we are looking forward to the Mini Olympics tonight so that we don't feel like we are missing out on Sport's Day.

Year 6 Venture Week

Keep up to date with what the children are getting up to on Venture Week at Kingswood.

Monday

We have all arrived safely at Kingswood.

The afternoon was spent at a wonderful ceramic cafe before heading to Kingswood. The children are now at a disco - Club Kingswood. Let's hope all the children will be tired out so they can sleep tonight!!

We made shields, masks, learnt to play some music, watched some jousting, saw some falcons,did some dancing, took part in a parade, where we played the music, and danced. We also found out about St George.

Charlotte's trip to the Kennedy Space Centre

Year 3 Trip

Year 3 have been learning about Dinosaurs in their IPC lessons. On Creative day year 3 went to the National History Museum to look at the Dinosaurs. We all had a really good day looking at all the bones and fossils and finding out new information. Have a look at some of the pictures Miss Taylor took to help us remember the trip.

How to keep your teeth healthy!

To keep your teeth healthy, you need to brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes. Only use your mouthwash after meals so you don't wash away the goodness of the toothpaste. Don't eat your sweets between meals, you can eat them after dinner so when you brush your teeth at night it will get rid of all the sugar. Make sure you do this everyday and you will have a perfect smile and perfect teeth.
