Kingsway Primary School<br />
The foundation stage children have continued with their dinosaur theme.<br />
They have looked at ‘carnivores’ and ‘herbivores’ and have designed their<br />
very own plate of food for a dinosaur! The children are very excited about<br />
the construction of their new outdoor shelter; so that they can extend their<br />
learning outside in any weather!<br />
Is it a bird...is it a plane? No it’s the Year 1 children at Kingsway Primary school learning about superheroes!<br />
They have enjoyed a visit from the Explorer Dome to find out all about forces. The local Police Officers Sam<br />
and Emma came and talked about their jobs and showed them their gadgets. They think they are real life<br />
superheroes. Do you know a real life superhero, maybe a nurse, firefighter, paramedic, refuse collector<br />
or post-person who would like to come and talk to us about their job? If you do (or you are one) then please<br />
email Rebecca Curtis on rcurtis@kingsway.gloucs.sch.uk. Thank you.<br />
In Hobby class, one of the Year 3 classes, they have had some fun tennis coaching sessions from Jason as<br />
part of their ACES Tennis scheme with Oxstalls Tennis Centre. The children have all really enjoyed learning<br />
tennis with Jason and are looking forward to a Tennis Tournament later in the Spring term against other<br />
schools. Their theme, A Midsummer Night’s Dream has been extremely fun so far. They have received<br />
exciting messages and challenges from Puck, a fairy from A Midsummer Night’s Dream, with their most recent<br />
challenge to design and build a house for Puck which needed to be strong and waterproof; the children have<br />
enjoyed combining their scienctific skills with their DT skills to construct these houses for Puck.<br />
Year 4 have enjoyed receiving tasks from the<br />
Professor’s workshop.They have explored what a<br />
robot is and found out where in the world they are<br />
used. They really enjoyed testing out materials to use<br />
in an electrical circuit. They have composed robot<br />
compositions ready to record and use as a backing<br />
track for their logo programs they have designed.<br />
Year 5 and 6 have continued their ‘I’m a Kingsway Pupil<br />
get me out of here!’ theme. Their learning has been<br />
focussed around survival skills, mountains and building<br />
suitable shelters. Peregrine class are studying Alaska,<br />
Eagle class will focus on learning about UK woodlands<br />
and Kestrel class will be studying mountain ranges.<br />
