Our topic this half term has been all things Space-related.

During our science lessons we have investigated how the sun’s light affects us on Earth.  We used a torch to simulate the sun and discussed how the axis of the Earth impacts on how we experience seasons.

During the Autumn term, we have spent time using Scratch to learn about programming and coding.  We used laptops to experiment with the software and used scripts to control our sprites.

We were very excited about our production of Bah Humbug in year 5 – the children wanted to create adverts to entice our audience!

We wrote scripts, filmed each other delivering our lines and edited our films using iMovie on the iPads. Who knows, we might become famous film directors one day!

At Thomas Buxton we have been talking about our favourite books.

We believe it’s really important to talk about reading and learn from others!  Watch these recommendations from staff and children – which stories would you like to read?
