Emerald Class 2022-23

spring term

Emerald Class did a fantastic job leading the Easter Service at St. Francis Church at the end of term. We are so proud of them as some children were very nervous. Please enjoy some photos from the service and a video leading a song.

In Music Emerald class have been creating a piece of music based on rivers which was their topic for this term. They have been using different instruments and performed the whole song to be filmed. Sadly the website didn't like the full length feature video so it has been uploaded in different parts.

We were able to take part in a STEM engineering challenge using KNEX to create a type of crane. We had a wonderful morning creating, testing and presenting our models.

In English we did some drama work about the creation of our planet. We weren't allowed to use any sound, just show what was happening through movement, drama and with a few props.

Bikeability week was great for Emerald Class, even the less experienced cyclists got a chance to practice their skills on the playground.

On World Book Day we had some amazing costumes!

In Science we have been experimenting with different reactions between substances. Later on in the term we made our amazing volcanos erupt!

We were very lucky that Mr Eve brought in some special Archery sets for us to use in PE. Thanks Mr Eve.

Have a look at our photos from our Animal Experience Day. We learnt so much and had a great time.

AUTUMN TERM

In preparation for Harvest Festival we went on a walk through the local woods to find some natural resources to use to create our Harvest Pictures.

In Computing we created photos by quickly moving different light sources. Please see some of our amazing pictures below.

The homework models that the children created were so good that we used them as part of our animation in Art and Computing. Please watch some of our animations.

We really enjoyed our Christmas Lunch.

The end of term service at St Francis Church was led by Sapphire class and all of KS2 sang beautifully throughout. We are also very lucky that this year our school choir is mostly Emerald class and they impressed us with their singing too. We took a few photos during the service.
