Year 4 Dodgeball

A group of Year 4 children travelled to the Corbet School on Wednesday to take part in a Dodgeball tournament.  They were excellent ambassadors for our school and had a thoroughly enjoyable morning finishing in 6th place.   Well done Year 4!

Mad Viking raids Bicton!

A Viking skald ( a Norse bard) raided Maple Class on the first day of this spring term for the children’s ideas on synonyms as they began new work in English on Viking kennings (two word riddles) and spells.

He told them about what Vikings were (raiders from Scandinavia) and the legacy they left behind in Britain.  He shared two spells from Odin’s Edda – one of the great collections of Norse poems.

 

Micro:bit buzzer games

Maple Class continued using their Micro:bits to create a prototype for their buzzer games. They created and tested their code using a range of inputs, outputs and variables. They will continue to create these games over the coming weeks to create their final product.
