Super Saturday!

Today at Saturday School we took advantage of the great weather and brought our learning outside. We talked about lots of different methods for answering exam style questions. Great work everyone!

Maths Relay

Today in Miss Mills' maths group, we had a relay race. In groups of four we had to answer a number of reasoning questions, before running to the front of the classroom to collect the next one. It was a close race but only one could win. Well done to our dedicated learners!

Celebration Assembly in the Gateway Base

Lots to celebrate as always in the Gateway Base this week from: Learner of the Week, Citizen of the Week, Lexia, Mathletics and Royal Manor Campus Maths Challenge Contestants. All of this as well as our weekly raffle for great work and behaviour and our Base's cycle/scoot to school raffle to encourage our Learners to use green methods of transport each day. Well done to everyone!

Drama in Gateway Base

Learners in Gateway Base are studying Romeo and Juliet as part of the Shakespeare celebrations.

After studying the text, we started discussing and learning about the different characters. We used role play and drama to meet and introduce different members of the cast. 

A Creative Afternoon

In celebration of finishing our mock SATs week, learners in Gateway Base took part in a range of activities throughout the afternoon. 

Firstly, we made some fantastic origami cranes to put on display in Gateway Base: 

After this, we had the choice of drawing, code breaking, Mathletics or caligraphy - what fun! 

Rise and Shine - Wake and Shake!

Each morning during our mock SATs week, learners in Year 6 have been spending 20 minutes outside as part of our 'Wake and Shake' doing a variety of fun activities to get us up and moving and get our brains in gear.

Today we did some really fun relay races involving hurdles and hopscotch hoops:

We also played a game of Farmers and Sheep:

All of the staff in Gateway Base would like to thank Year 6 for the incredibly hard work they have put in during their mocks week! Keep up the fantastic work!

Mr White

Lily has decided to do a fact file on Mr White.

Mr White popped into IPACA Southwell Campus and explained how he used to be a teacher and headteacher, but now he is a designer.

Mr White has helped design parts of Maritime House.

Come and read Lily's information sheet at IPACA Southwell Campus in our exhibition at the end of May.

Fractions in the sunshine!

This morning in the Gateway Base, we thought we'd make the most of the lovely  weather and take our learning outside! The maths fairy sneakily hid QR codes around the playground that had fractions as questions!

With devices the Learners' whizzed around and solved as many as they could before coming back together to compare answers.
