Computing

This half term, they have loved creating images of mountains in Keynote. We have then inputed the image into AR Portal to create 360 images.

Red Nose Day

Tythecott enjoyed dressing up in red today.

Open the Book

Today Open the Book team read the story Praying for Peter. Peter was locked in jail by King Herald. John Mark and others were praying for Peter’s release. God sent an Angel to free him. We had some children help with the performance.

Charcoal pencils

Tythecott class learnt how to use charcoal to make charcoal pencils to write with.  We improved our knot skills and kept warm with hot chocolate.  Ask them what their favourite part of the afternoon was…..

Water resistance

In science yesterday, we explored which shapes resulted in less water resistance when sinking in a container. We moulded plasticine into different shapes and timed how long it took to sink to the bottom. We timed it three times and took an average before analysing our results. We found that flat round shapes took longer […]

Planting trees at the church

Last week we were asked vy the churchbto go help plant some apple trees at the front of the church. It was wet and windy but they all enjoyed themselves being part of something that’s going to last for years.

Today we planted our orchard with trees from The Tree Council. Some very excited children can’t wait to have fruit from them and make jam or crumbles.

Tennis

Tythecott and Orleigh have had a great session with Tom as part of tennis super week. They tried some skills and played games. They have all been invited to a free tennis party this weekend. Please see their invites for more details.

Gymnastics in a different hall with different equipment

On Tuesday afternoon, we went over to Parkham and used Allardice Hall for a final gymnastics lesson of the topic. Using the skills learnt in out floor work, we transferred these skills onto wall bars and challenged ourselves to try new things. We thought about the 5 gymnastic shapes and tried to use them on […]

Buckland Brewer World Book Day

Buckland Brewer whole school (even Mrs Kersey) wrapped a book, thought of some clues and brought some props.   Gorwood photos to follow…… Can you guess our books?

Fossil hunting

Tythecott class made their own fossils out of salt dough using organic materials found in the Forest School area.  They then went on a dinosaur hunt………   I wonder what they discovered?

Force metres and friction

Today in science we investigated friction. Using force metres to measure the amount of friction created, we explored which surfaces created the most and least friction by dragging a kilogram weight across different surfaces to find out. We found that sandpaper, carpet and bubble wrap created the most friction whilst paper and cardboard created the […]

Animal fact files

In geography, we have been learning about mountain life with a focus on the Rocky Mountains in North America. We have researched animals that live in the Rocky Mountains and focused on appearance, diet and behaviour. The children have created these fantastic fact files. They have taken great pride in their content and presentation and […]

Bug hotels

Tythecott class had a fun time using tools safely to create mini bug pot hotels. We also made crowns.  Why is it important to create bug hotels in your garden?  

A wet Forest School

Tythecott class had fun in the very wet conditions yesterday.  We used our new yurt to create leaf suncatchers. Outside we planted seeds, played in the mud kitchen and the den, solved the leaf game and drank warm blackcurrant.  Which was your favourite and why?

Music lesson

We had our first samba lesson with Mr Hamilton this week. The children enjoyed learning about samba and all the different instruments. They then had a go at playing which meant different children playing different rhythms and keeping in time. We were very impressed. You can see the concentration in these photos!

Gravity and craters

In science this afternoon, we looked at the force of gravity. We found out that objects have weight on Earth because gravity pulls them down. We also discovered that regardless of size or shape if two objects are dropped at the same time, from the same height they will hit the ground simultaneously. In our […]

French

Tythecott have been amazing at French this half term. They have looked at colours, recapped numbers to 5 and learnt about superheroes.
