Welcome to Badgers Class!

Here you will find all our weekly updates about life in the Badgers class, useful documents and links.

We are looking forward to meeting you all. Our September newsletter can be found under the heading to the right. For your information, PE days will be Mondays (indoors) and Thursdays (outdoors) starting week beginning 8th September. You will be able to see our topic web for this term here too.

During our first day, we have been working in teams to build free standing structures.  We considered how we work as a team and how we communicate effectively. Afterwards, we developed our own class discussion guidelines. Great collaboration Badgers-see the gallery for some of our work.

Week 2

Coding session 

We had a great session today, using 'MakeCode Arcade'. Firstly, we learnt how to create our own sprite and set a background for a game. We then learnt how to make the code to control our sprite and we experimented with some of the variables. See our gallery for some photos. 

Science

We started exploring 'States of Matter' this week. Badgers enjoyed exploring solids, liquids and gases to classify them accurately. There were lots of good questions and observations: "What state are bubbles?" (Rufus), "is corn flour and water a solid or liquid?" (Maria). We will have to do some investigating further next week...

Music

Badgers had their first lesson with Mrs Andrews-they loved playing Beat Master, trying to work out who had started the beat in different ways-some Badgers had eagle eyes and were very speedy!

PE-Rugby

We FINALLY managed to fit our rugby lesson in between the showers! Excellent running, passing and team work-it was great to see lots of skill progression in just one lesson!
