Bucket Children!! WELL DONE

These awesome learners were the first who filled the other children's buckets with happy, kind thoughts and behaviour!!!
Are you a bucket filler?

Probability

We have been learning lots of new language in Probability.  We have learnt about chance, possible, impossible, likely and less likely.

Oscar F - What is the chance that I choose the red one?

Nubaid - It is less likely because there is only one.

Britta - What is the chance of me picking a black dinosaur?

Julia - It would be impossible because there are no black dinosaurs.

Aaron - What is the chance of choosing a green dinosaur?

Brodie - It is likely because there are more greens than yellows.

Alexi - What is the chance of me choosing a yellow one?

Ruby - It is impossible because there are no yellow ones.

Communication: How to comment on the blog

Today the filming break through group collaborated to make a video to teach you how to comment on the blog.

They first learnt how to comment on the blog, then we filmed each other, decided on the main steps, planned what we wanted to say and then we used the microphone to record ourselves.

If the video has helped teach you how to comment, could you please comment telling us?

Thank you!

Hub 1 learning about how to get ready in the morning

Some of our learners thought it might be useful, to make a movie for new learners to Stonefields School, about how to get ready in the morning before school.

Measurement with Mrs Jackson

This morning at the start of our Marvellous Maths Day we talked about our Learner Quality of being Determined.

We did some great thinking about Jack and the Beanstalk. What is taller than and shorter than.

We measured who was taller and shorter than.

Some of us are the same size too.

We measured ourselves.

We made tall beanstalks.

We had to be determined.
