Amazing progress in Eagles Class

Well done to our amazing Year 4 and 5 children and their teachers and teaching assistants. They have made phenomenal progress in writing and have earned themselves a Headteacher’s award. Thank you to Miss Abley for making such a positive impact at Iron Acton Primary School!

Eagles Trip to Bristol Museum

As part of our topic about the Ancient Egyptians, Eagles class went to Bristol Museum to explore their exhibition and do a workshop with the staff there. We learnt more about the life and afterlife of Egyptians, and got to see real life artefacts from the time period. During our workshop we learnt about a lady called Amelia Edwards, an Egyptologist from Bristol. We got to handle real life artefacts alongside replicas and had to work out which region of Egypt they belonged to. We all had a fantastic day and are looking forward to learning some more about the Ancient Egyptians over the rest of the term!

Outdoor Learning Day

On Wednesday, in conjunction with our Outdoor Learning Day, Eagles and Golden joined together for an unusual spelling lesson. We thought of a variety of words and used the natural resources of the school to spell them. We all really enjoyed our time spent outside, and will continue to take our learning outdoors!

Shah Jalal Jame Mosque Visit

This week Eagles had the opportunity to visit the Shah Jalal Jame Mosque in Easton, Bristol. We were met by Riz, who showed us around the mosque and talked with us about many different parts of the Islamic faith. We learnt so many interesting facts, including that the Masjid al-Haram Mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia can hold around 2-3 million people and is the same size as Wales! We had lots of questions which Riz was happy to answer for us. We even got to had a look around Mecca with a pair of VR goggles and a 3D video taken by Riz on his last pilgrimage. Overall, it was a really positive experience which we all thoroughly enjoyed.

Egyptian Immersion Afternoon – The Tomb of King Tut!

This week, Eagles class received a letter from archaeologist Howard Carter. He requested their help in exploring a tomb he had discovered, deep in the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. They were asked to bring their sketchbooks, pens and some torches to help record the ancient artefacts. There were even some books left to find out more about this ancient civilisation.

Languages Day – Japan

Last Thursday the whole school became ‘Curious Linguists’, and spent the day learning about another country from around the world. Eagles class looked at Japan, and did activities like; writing postcards, origami cranes, learning how to count in Japanese, using drawing inks to write the Japanese numbers, and making sushi! We also had a visitor who has been to Japan, and they brought in so many interesting things for us to look at. We saw how their books and comics are read in the opposite direction to how we read ours, and had lots of questions to ask.

Travelling Kitchen – Ancient Mayans

We had a fantastic time when Travelling Kitchen came to visit, bringing lots of delicious recipes (which can be found on this blog) with them. We practised a whole range of cooking skills, and learnt plenty about the Mayans and the foods they used to cook and eat. One of our favourite parts was the hot drinking chocolate – perfect for wintry weather!

K’NEX Challenge 2018

This week, Eagles class participated in the K’NEX Challenge 2018. An event run by STEM Works and sponsored by Renishaw, it aims to introduce children into the world of engineering through a problem solving challenge. There were so many creative, innovative and fantastic ideas that our visitor from STEM Works had a truly difficult time choosing! She was thoroughly impressed with the attitude and engagement of all the children. From this heat, Owen and Finley were invited to go and compete on behalf of the school at another challenge event in May. We wish them the best of luck!

Unique Voice

During Anti-Bullying Week, Eagles and Golden Eagles teamed up with the pupils at our partnership school in Hawkesbury for an assembly run by Unique Voice. We discussed the different types of bullying that can happen, why bullying may start, and how we can resolve it. Then we got the chance to get to know each other a little better through a fact finding game, discovering each others hidden talents – there were even a couple of people that could eat with chopsticks! We had a great morning, and are looking forward to seeing our new friends at Hawkesbury again soon.
