    • Read Write Inc. at Shacklewell

      Published 09/02/24

      It is amazing to see the progress in reading of our very youngest readers during their Read Write Inc. lessons. During a recent learning walk, I was so proud to see that not only had the children's handwriting improved greatly, their knowledge of sounds and their ability to segment and spell has increased dramatically.

      The children were so proud to show me their books and point out how much they had improved. Well done to our children on the RWI programme in Shacklewell - your progress is amazing!

    • Let's Get Ready to Crumble...

      Published 09/02/24

      This half-term, Year 5 has been exploring aspects of computer programming using a microcontroller called a Crumble. By connecting the Crumble - which looks like what you might call a computer chop - to a Chromebook, you can programme attachments like LEDs and motors to respond to a code. By editing the code, you can change which component jumps into action, and for how long. If you add a forever loop, it will follow the programme indefinitely (or until the battery runs out!).

      Codes like this will prove useful for anyone exploring computer programming in later life.

    • Natural History Museum Trip

      Published 09/02/24

      Year 4 enjoyed a very exciting trip to the Natural History Museum on Friday.

      We went to see the Volcanoes and Earthquakes exhibition but ended up seeing so much more! We had lots of fun exploring the skeletons, dinosaur's and minibeasts areas and absolutely loved the 1995 Japan earthquake simulator!

      As always, the children behaved impeccably - a stranger even complimented them on the OVerground - and their love of learning made me and Ms Hosie burst with pride!
