Harvest Festival

The Harvest Festival this year is on Monday 3rd October at 10am.

We are singing a song called Drop in the Ocean. It can be found here on SingUp so you can practise it at home if you want.

Sequences

Ideas for sequences homework:

Sequences can be number, shape, pattern etc.

Make lots of different number sequences and write the rule for each.
Make shape sequences using graphics software, or paint, or print them
Make other sequences using objects and take a photo of them.
Explain some common sequences like odd numbers.
Find out about famous number sequences like the Fibonacci sequence.

Here is a website about sequences - some information is easy to understand, some very complicated! (but still easier than if you look up sequences on Wiki)

Crossing the river

Robots to the rescue

We are finding about about how robots can be used to save lives.

Here is an article about how the Scorpio 45 was used to save the lives of Russian submariners trapped on the seabed.

Here Kinect is being used to help create a robot able to find people after earthquakes.

What other rescue robots can you find out about?

Horstead Trip Day 2

We had another great day today.

Everyone got a chance to do the Tower Experience with rock climbing, abseiling and the zip wire - and although some children seemed to defy gravity in their ability to cling onto hand holds, others tried hard to overcome their fear of heights.

We also all went canoeing at some point during the day, with no-one falling in! Team work definitely required to make the boat go in a straight line!

This evening saw the 'Salhouse's Got Talent' with celebrity judges (AKA Rachel, Mrs Ryan and Roger) and compare (Mrs Hibbins) and great performances from James, Maddie and Tori and Melissa - I'll leave it for them to tell you the results.

The children have also enjoyed playing with the vast collection of stacking cups, building ever longer and larger stacks.

Tomorrow we look forward to either archery or the low ropes before returning tired, but with new experiences, back to Salhouse in the afternoon.

Horstead Trip Day 1

We're having a great time. Today we did team tasks and then half the class did archery whilst the others did the low ropes course. I've taken over 100 photos today so this is just a small selection! I'm sorry if I haven't included every child but will try and post more tomorrow.

Here are just some the the children's comments so far...

"been having a good time and fun with my friends"

"there's alway something to do so you don't have to just sit around"

"best school trip ever had - so far!"

Please feel free to add your comments!
