Sleepover

To celebrate the end of SATs, the children were treated to a sleepover by some very brave members of staff. They played a series of different games including Mr Orsman's famous 'String Game', which many children have been unfortunate enough to have experienced over the years. The children were ambushed by the staff and hit by water balloons. They did get their own back by hitting Mr Ogier with several water balloons, which left him soaked (and with a sore ear!).

Greek Temples

As a part of our Greek topic, the children created their own Greek temples. They looked at a variety of different temples, collected different materials and then constructed them . The children had to plan which items they were going to use and design what they wanted it to look like. As you can see, the children did a great job at making their temples, which are currently on display in the hall. At the end, the children had to assess how well they worked as a team.

KS2 Singing

As a part of our Spring Celebration event, the children sang to their parents. The songs were linked to our topics and were all written by David Haines. They were about morse code, Charles Darwin and Robert Scott (created at Ford Primary School). The children were incredible and put on a real professional performance.

Snow Day

A rare event happened in Plymouth the other week...it snowed! It started with a few flakes falling to a mini-blizzard in the space of 20 minutes. The children loved the opportunity to play in the snow, but quickly discovered that it hurts after a while due to how cold it was!

The remaining children in Cedar Class made the most of the snow by taking part in mini science experiments. The children quickly became attached to their snowmen, but they didn't last long.

Big Bang @ City College Plymouth

Cedar Class were invited to City College Plymouth to take part in the Big Bang event. The day involved focussing on STEM subjects. Children had free reign at a range of activities from different employers. They had the opportunity to use VR; use a segway; apply their maths with plumbing; have a go with a green screen; take part in fitness tests; contribute to science tests and many more activities. We later had Babcock speak to the class on how submarines work. Children had the opportunity to experiment with medical equipment later in the day.

Number Day

We celebrated Number day with a range of activities. We had the children compete is a maths styled 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' and attempted to create a range of different shapes using just their bodies.

Morse Code

The children recently learnt about morse code and its importance in history. Using skills from our science lesson, the children constructed circuits which were capable of using buzzers. The children then had to play battle ships using only morse code. Some children enjoyed using their new skill, but others found it difficult having to listen out for different numbers and letters.
