Today Rhino class have been learning to code using a programme called Turtle Academy. The children had to follow a series of lessons in order to learn how to draw simple and complex shapes. The further they go through the lessons, the more complex the shapes they can draw. They can even learn how to programme the computer to draw shapes with just one command. They really enjoyed doing this and worked really hard during the lesson.

Today, children in Rhino class have been very busy!

They have been using the laptops to help practise their x tables. The children love computer games, so using games and challenges is a great way to help them practise and they also like competing against each other, sharing their improvements and achievements.

The class have also been busy in the kitchen, making Pesto as part of their Design Technology work with Mrs Harris. The children worked in small groups to select and mix the ingredients and filled the corridor with most amazing aroma!

Here a few photos from today:

Wow… What a great day we’ve had in class today. Not only did the children look great, but the spoons they had made were just amazing. They had great fun sharing what they made and also discussing their favourite books.

1. Today, the children in Rhino class took part in an inter house football competition. The children were so well behaved and really supported each other. All children played well and it was great to see those children that don’t normally choose to play football joining in and giving their best. Well done Rhino Class!

1. Today, Rhino class visited Shrewsbury Prison as a conclusion to their Crime and Punishment history topic. they had a brilliant day and learnt even more fantastic facts on top of what they had already learnt. Their behaviour was amazing and all children were a credit to the school.

The day began with some team building activities and then we had an amazing tour of the prison which took us from Victorian times to 2013 when prison closed.

Last Friday in Art with Mrs Harris, the children were looking at architecture. They had the challenge of designing buildings from different flat shapes.
