Lockwell Activity

Week Beginning: Monday 2nd June 2025

This week Dragonflies went on their last activity day as an alternative to a residential this year. We visited Lockwell Activity centre and took part in quad biking and an assault course. Everyone had a fantastic time and worked well together as a team.

Laser and Bowling

Week Beginning: Monday 19th May 2025

This week Dragonflies have been to bowling and laser quest! This is our 2nd activity day in replacement of a residential this year. First we split into 2 teams for the bowling and everyone was really good! Our top scorer was Leo with 98 points 🏆

After lunch we then had a go at laser quest. We split into 2 teams again and had to try and invade the other teams base. Dragonflies had a really nice day and worked well together as a team.

Strelly - Spring walk

Week Beginning: Monday 24th March 2025

This week Dragonflies went on a walk around strelly. The pupils were asked to look for any signs of spring they could see. We saw lots of different flowers, horses, calves and some lambs but unfortunately we were a little too early to see the bluebells. We had our picnic at the cafe and used our money skills to buy a drink from the cafe.

When we returned to school, we used the internet to look at some pictures of bluebell woods last year and had a go at drawing a picture.

Rufford - Spring walk

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.
