Dragonflies Class 2024/2025
Sherwood Observatory visit
Week Beginning: Monday 10th February 2025
Wow What an exciting week we have had! Dragonflies class joined together with Butterflies class to visit the observatory and planetarium. We started the day by listening to a short talk about the solar system and how different sized telescopes can see different planets and detail. We then went to make some rovers and presented them to the rest of the group.
After dinner we watched a show about space and went in the observatory to look at the big telescope. Everyone had an amazing time and Lee said he was absolutely speechless.
English: Instructions
Week Beginning: Monday 3rd February
This week in English we have started to look at instructions. We have talked about the difference between an instruction and a question, given and followed instructions and looked at why it is important to make sure we put instructions in the correct order.
On Wednesday, Miss Wakefield sequenced her instructions and made a sandwich but they were not in the correct order. Pupils then had a go at correcting Miss Wakefield`s instructions and making their own sandwich.
Computing: Algorithms
Week Beginning: Monday 7th October 2024
This week we have continued to look at algorithms in computing. Dragonflies made the most of the nice weather and went outside to draw pathways for the Rugged Robots. Everyone had a go at drawing their own maze and then working out how to get the Rugged Robot from the start to the end.
Dragonflies Computing
Week beginning: Monday 23rd September
In computing this term, Dragonflies are looking at instructions and how to give and follow instructions. This week we have used 2DIY3D on Purple Mash to create our own 3D games. The pupils then had to write a set of instructions to help other complete their game.
