Robin Hood Primary School
Aiming High to Excel and Exceed
Summer Term
During our English unit, we looked at The Enormous Crocodile and thought of new adjectives to describe the characters and the settings.
The children have been getting creative in their first lesson of 'The Dot', where they designed and created their own Dot to inspire them in their future poems.
Today in science, the children have planned a comparative test involving cress seeds. We will measure and compare them to ones which have been given light and ones which have not.
In Science, the children have been using a Venn diagram to sort and organise seeds and bulbs.
The children finished writing their non-rhyming poems, inspired by The Dot. They then wrote them up neatly in pen on to their dots designed at the beginning of the unit. We think they look fabulous and they certainly fulfilled their purpose of making the reader laugh.
After planting the cress seeds, the children were desperate to sneak a peek. The cress which was left in the dark, had become very yellow and thin but had also grown tall, which the children were surprised at. We then discovered that the cress on the window sill hadn’t grown as tall but was a healthy green. In discussion, we asked ourselves what would happen if we then placed the yellow cress on the windowsill. After a few days, the yellow cress had started to turn a healthier colour, this clearly showed us all how important light is to plants.
In History, the children finally had to ask themselves who had the greatest impact on the health service, was it Florence Nightingale or Mary Seacole? They also discussed the impact both nurses had, the difficulties they faced and the acknowledgment they both received.
