This half term in computing, we have been looking at computer networks and what makes them work. We first looked at a network being full of connections and then we discussed how these connections work. We first discussed that for a network to work there needs to be a switch which directly sends messages to other computers connected to the network. We then looked at how a server, Wi-Fi and other wireless devices such as iPads, laptops and phones play a role in the network. Afterwards, we went into the hall where the children were all given a job within the network and they had to connect themselves to the right part for the network to work correctly. Have a look below to see the children in action. 

Last week, Copy Cat came into school and threw Y1, 2 and 3 a huge Halloween celebration! All the children dressed up in their scariest costumes, played various games, had snacks and danced to music. Have a look below at everyone having a great time! 

On Friday, we were very lucky to go on a school trip to Creswell Crags for our history topic The Stone Age. Throughout the day, we did a variety of activities including looking at different animal bones that had been found at the crags, learning about how people survived in the Stone Age / Ice Age and we even got an opportunity to go inside a real cave! The children really enjoyed the visit and we all had a lovely day. Have a look below to see what we got up to. 

During the last four weeks, we have started to learn some French greetings. 
The things we have looked are: 

• Saying hello, hi, good evening and good night in context. 
• Asking the questions how are you? and what is your name? 
• Using appropriate answers to the questions above. 

For today's lesson, the children had to remember all the phrases we had learnt so far in order to play a matching game. Each pair were given some cards with a phrase in both French and English which they had to match up with a picture. The children worked well in pairs and were able to solve the puzzle. Have a look below to see how they got on.
