Hill Farm Primary School

Year 4 have been looking a tertiary colours today and had a go at making a colour wheel while thinking of primary, secondary and tertiary colours! Some of us challenged ourselves to think of other ways that we could show this! 🎨👨‍🎨

In Nursery, we are strengthening our hand muscles using pegs. We are colour naming and matching, using our fine motor skills and developing our hand eye coordination.

Year 5 have been very busy this week.

They have been finding out all about Hill Farm during the war by exploring the diaries from September 1940.

Then they’ve applied their shading skills to their final mixed media artwork.

Next up was chemical reactions, I think you’ll agree, they’ve had a very exciting week!

Our Library hosted the Health visiting team today.

Nursery children with their parents were able to pop in for some advice and to get the children weighed and measured.

Afternoon parents are able to take advantage of this visit as well as the Team will be back at 12.30.

Please bring your child’s red book along, register your children in Nursery before heading to the main office for the 12.30 session

Year 4 have been hygienists today! We have learnt all about hand hygiene and how washing our hands can scare away many microbes and germs!🧫🥼🧪🦠

Nursery have been dotting on chalkboards today. This follows on from our pattern of the fortnight work last week. We have moved from gross motor dot work to fine motor dot work.

Well you’ll never guess what Year 1 have been doing…..

Creating their own … (You guessed it didn’t you!)

Microbes using play-doh! 🦠🧫

There’s a theme to today’s posts.

MICROBES!

Imagine my surprise when I found children in Year 5 wiping bread on the door handles… At least now I understand why!

Year 5 have been learning about microbes today. We are investigating the conditions that speed up the growth of mould. We then wanted to find out about microbes on surfaces around the classroom… We will report our findings next week!

The children in Year 2 have been learning all about Microbes. We looked at different microbes and recreated it with our playdough!

Well after today’s lunchtime club, I think it is safe to say that Mrs Pinks needs to find a bigger space to hold her club.

We’ve had Lego adventures, a lesson on turn taking with Snakes and Ladders and started making our very own worry monsters!

Year 4 really enjoyed our visit from the service, we learnt what to do in a fire, how to take precautions to keep us safe, how to make a 999 call and even how to stop, drop and roll!🚒🧑‍🚒👩‍🚒🚒

We have some awesome artists in Year 5. They have used line and tone to make their drawings look 3D

Mrs Nicholds was moved to see a creation from one of the children advertising the best School library around!

If you attended Radford big tidy up event, you may have seen some of our students bunting decorating the area!

After introducing the word ‘autumn’ last week Nursery are exploring autumn objects and creating some pictures linked to autumn

In nursery we have been super busy this week. We have painted our faces thinking about our features and have started to learn how to use our scissors safely.

Our Acorns after school club made some beautiful Autumnal wreaths to decorate school.

Nursery are much more confident in moving in different ways and exploring our outdoor environment with their friends.
