Reception and Year 1 loved their trip to Woburn Safari yesterday. They had so much fun looking at all the amazing animals. They particularly loved the drive safari where the animals walked close to the coach! @Woburn_Safari

In Art, Year 4 we have explored drawing wooden figures using a range of different sketching materials. We had to look carefully at the different parts of the figures and draw them in different positions, such as running or ballet dancing. @Cornerstonesedu

In Reception, we have loved looking at wild animals and their patterns such as tigers, giraffes, cheetahs, fish and turtles. We used charcoal to draw our favourite wild animal pattern. @Cornerstonesedu

Year 4 enjoyed our last tennis session this week. First, we had to put up the tennis nets ourselves! This was a challenge so we worked as a team and then we got to play some tennis using all the skills we've learnt this term. @Windsor_SSP

This week, KS2 enjoyed completing the 'Cartoon Yourself' scratch programming using the Learn Pads to first take photos before adding them to scratch and making our images tell each other a joke! @scratch

Year 4 enjoyed exploring electrical conductivity using the energy balls and sticks in Science. This proved how electrical currents move through the human body! We then used this understanding to help us create simple circuits using bulbs, buzzers and switches. @Cornerstonesedu

Year 2 enjoyed listening to Polka’ by Dmitri Shostakovich and free dancing to the music using ribbons and material. They incorporated different heights to their sequence as well as alternating hands and movements. @SingUpTweets

This week, Year 4 have started to think about electricity in Science. We had a great discussion about the items we use in our daily lives, that use the two sources of electricity, mains and battery. We also realised that most of the items had rechargeable batteries.

Year 4 have enjoyed weaving their very own wall hanging in Art. It took a lot of patience and time but we love the results. We couldn't wait to hang them up and share them with people at home! @Cornerstonesedu

Reception have loved talking about their mums and writing a Mother's Day card. We used celery sticks to print beautiful flowers on the front. Happy Mother's Day! #EYFS

Year 4 have continued to explore sound in the muffling sound investigation in science @Cornerstonesedu We muffled sound by covering a shaker with materials such as bubble wrap, paper and felt. We used a sound meter on the Learn Pad to measure the intensity of the sound.

Year 2 enjoyed their mindful movements session with @4Motioncic. They learnt some different poses including plank, snake and downward dog and played a game of musical mats instead of musical chairs. @Windsor_SSP

Today, EYFS celebrated their 100th day of school!
One question from a child was...
"Would you rather 100 hands or 100 feet?" #eyfs #100thdayofschool

This week, Year 4 started weaving for our Art project 'Warp and Weft' @Cornerstonesedu We had to first create our loom and then carefully weave between pieces of yarn to create our piece. This was a challenge but the results look great!

[Eton Wick School @etonwickschool]

This week, KS2 enjoyed recapping their understanding of algorithms. We challenged ourselves to write a set of instructions for the teacher on how to complete the head, shoulders, knees and toes song. We had to be very specific! @BarefootComp

[Eton Wick School @etonwickschool]

This week during our Mindfulness session in Year 4 with Coach Fizz @Windsor_SSP we created sensory bottles. We added fine glitter for small feelings and large glitter for big feelings.

#NumberDay estimating challenge 2023! There were some great guesses by the staff and children today. How many crayons do you think are in the jar?

[Eton Wick School @etonwickschool]

Year 2 used the book 'Actual Size' by Steve Jenkins for #NumberDay. We compared our hand to a gorilla's hand and our foot to an elephant's foot. Then we measured the different animals parts with cubes and created a graph to display our results.
