In Nursery we have been enjoying the book ‘Red Rockets and Rainbow Jelly’ by Sue Heap and Nick Sharratt.
We made rainbow jelly adding a new colour each day. We could see all the different colours in our jelly.
We had great fun mixing all the colours together… it was a bit of a sticky mess!

This term during our History lessons, we have been learning about different types of communication. This week we learnt about Alexander Graham Bell and how he invented the Telephone. We used cups and string to help us understand how sound travels and we had so much fun sending messages ‘down the line’ to our partners. We also looked at how phones have changed through the last few years and looked at the differences between them.

The theme for Anti-Bullying Week 2020 is: United Against Bullying.
On Monday 16th we joined in with Odd Socks Day to mark the first day of Anti-Bullying Week. Throughout the week in school, each class looked at different kinds of bullying and what to do if we see or experience it. We also designed our own odd socks to express how different and unique we all are.
On Thursday, we also took part in the BTales Anti Bullying Week Collective Worship. At St Philip’s we are committed to being United Against Bullying in all that we do.

In Year 4 we are creating our own Storybooks in Design & Technology. This week we made some prototypes of moving mechanisms for our books. We look at different ways to attach different parts and how we could successfully make our images move. Our flowers moved up and down in the pot to make it look like they were growing.

On Monday 16th November we wore odd socks to school to help us celebrate Anti-Bullying week. Year 4 wore some fantastic odd socks! We focused on how we can be kind to each other, what we should do if we think us or someone we know might be being bullied and how we can look after one another in our school.

Thank you to Mr Padotan who trained our new Playground Buddies who have started their new role fantastically well! They are ensuring that we’re all safe at break and lunchtimes and all have plenty of activities to be involved with. One child commented, “It is great to always be able to find a buddy if I am looking for a game to play. They help to keep us safe too.” Well done and keep up the good work, playground buddies!

Year 5 focussed on an influential woman named Maya Angelou. We learnt about the amazing things she’s achieved throughout her life – from reading her poetry at a presidential inauguration to writing and directing movies!
We focussed mainly on her poem, The Caged Bird and the contrasting imagery of the free and the caged birds depicted.
Here is some of the artwork we created based on this:
