After conducting a scientific experiment for our topic of ‘States of Matter’ the water cup that evaporated the most was… (drum roll please). The cup next to the radiation! Ask your child why this happened, they might even sing you the song all about the water cycle.

The children have been developing gymnastic routines, as you can see they are aiming high, working as a team to polish their performances.

As part of our science topic of states of matter we are conducting an experiment. The children have each made a prediction on which cup of water they think will evaporate the most due to the conditions of where they are placed; in the window, in the cupboard and on the radiator. What do you predict?

Six of our school team players took part in a short 6 a side match on Saturday, resulting in a win for Meadow View, the children and their families also watched Rotherham United play with a 1 all result. What a fantastic afternoon, we are so proud of our school team, go MVP!

Year 3 children have been thinking about the bird’s at this time of year. They have made bird feeders from sticks, Cheerios and string. The boys also enjoyed searching for different types of insects.

The children have enjoyed learning all about Chinese New Year and the traditions that happen at this time of year.

The children have used mud to paint Chinese symbols on red paper and hung them from the trees to create a Chinese Wishing Tree.

The children have been looking for signs of winter in Forest school.

We have been reciting poems and recording each other.

After a discussion in RE about the values of Christian beliefs, we thought about our own values and beliefs. The children wanted to share their thoughts and beliefs, we have some wonderful values that are reflected though the children’s actions.

As part of our DT unit we are designing pizza’s to market. After some research, the children have created a mood board of ideas in groups. Look at the ideas, I can’t wait to see these develop into designs and a finished product.

Y4 are designing and marketing pizzas, as part of our market research we had a taste testing session. The children explored the taste, smell, appearance and texture of the pizzas for ideas of how to design the best pizza to market. The children thoroughly enjoyed some colourful, cheesy, doughy, crunchy pizzas 🍕

Today the children listened to a fantastic story about mental health, we discussed colours as our feelings and emotions. Take a look at the story with your child and talk about how they are feeling. #mwentalhealthawareness https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQNJ8USFwOg

Today, year 1 and 2 have performed their poems to each other. We are so proud of everything we have done!

Y4 are exploring states of matter in science, this week learnt about solids, liquids and gasses how to organise these into categories.

Y4 are using the micro bits to programme and collect data, this week the children explored how to carefully attach the micro bit to the laptop and access the programming site. We are very excited to explore all the things a micro bit can do…. They are amazing, wait and see!

During PE we are learning how to use apparatus in gymnastics, we have started with safe use of the equipment focusing on bending at the knees, this was a great example when a beam jump was done and bent knees were used on landing. Just look at that balance!

Year 3 became rock detectives  🕵️‍♂️🪨 as they explored different types of rocks 🔍! The children researched their rock and confidently presented their findings to the rest of the class 🎤📊 — fantastic teamwork and science skills 🌟👏

Year 3 have been slithering  into Spanish learning 🐍🎲Wherever their counter landed, children had to say how many animals  🐶🐱🐭 and which animals  they were — learning through play at its best ✨👏

Today Y2 have practised their balances on equipment in gymnastics
