Hi there Jazzonians! How are things? Did you celebrate VE day in your street?

My neighbours held a game of Bingo, calling numbers across the street! Very funny! And have you coloured a rainbow for your window?

Jodrall Bank, the observatory, are very interested in rainbows and have posted some activities you might like to try on their site. Take a look...

Maths

For those in the Jazz Class maths group who are feeling stale with their subtractions, take a look at this video on Efficient Subtraction. It looks at different strategies in subtraction which are great if you are feeling rusty with your take-aways!!

Watch the videos then try these (different) problems below. (If you don't have a printer, enlarge the picture and copy them out. If you do the document has three pages of increasing harder work for you to try!)

May 4th is Star Wars Day! So, for those of you at home looking for something to do why not watch a Star Wars or Star Trek movie, draw a picture of your favourite character, label what characteristics they have that you admire and then dress up as them! Send a picture of yourself to school. We're always impressed with the work we've seen people doing at home.

Reading at home - Weslandia

Weslandia

Enter the witty, intriguing world of Weslandia! Now that school is over, Wesley needs a summer project. He’s learned that each civilization needs a staple food crop, so he decides to sow a garden and start his own - civilization, that is. He turns over a plot of earth, and plants begin to grow. They soon tower above him and bear a curious-looking fruit. As Wesley experiments, he finds that the plant will provide food, clothing, shelter, and even recreation. It isn’t long before his neighbours and classmates develop more than an idle curiosity about Wesley - and exactly how he is spending his summer vacation.

The current situation we all find ourselves in can be overwhelming and lead to an increase in anxiety levels for some children. This is particularly so for those children with ADHD, social communication difficulties or ASD. Please find below advice from the ADHD Foundation and the National Autistic Society offering tips to support these children during COVID -19.

8 Times Table Song | Skip Counting by 8 Multiplication Song

We've also been learning to count in multiples of 8 to help with learning the 8 x table. Children love this song and are really good at counting in 8's. The song gets faster each - children need to keep practising at home and challenge someone at home to sing as fast as they can!

Skip Counting By 3 Song | The 3 Times Tables Song For Kids

Children who do maths in Apollo Base have been learning this 3 x table song to help with their times tables. They are all experts - perhaps they can challenge people at home on 3 x table facts!

Times Tables Challenge

It was a real treat in school on Wednesday to play host to the Year 4 Horizon Times Table Challenge. The eight Mathematicians from Jazz Class. tested their skills against other local schools. Special mention must go to Chloe L who achieved maximum marks in several of the rounds! Mr Hird was very proud of the way in which all the children demonstrated their skills and showed great respect towards the other teams who participated.

Having a Giraffe! Zoo inspired art!

In Jazz Class, we have been using our visit to Chester Zoo as the inspiration for our art work. We have been looking back at the pictures we captured during our day with the animals and using these to fire our creativity. We have been making marks and lines with a wide range of drawing implements e.g brushes, pencil, crayon, chalk pastels, pens, watercolour pencils etc. We have also been mixImg colours to know which primary colours make secondary colours and starting to use specific colour language. When adding colour to our animal drawings we have been exploring tints and shades.

Can YOU work out what these Roman Numerals are that Jazz Class have been making?

In their Science lessons, Jazz Class have been learning to describe the simple functions of the parts of the digestive system in humans and have been getting their hands dirty as the made their own models to describe the journey of food through the body explaining what happens in each part. The children really enjoyed every stage of the process, especially the the last one!!

Resilience and Mindfulness in Jazz Class

Resilience and Mindfulness in Jazz Class 3

Our friends Sharon and Tracey from the Vibe organisation joined Jazz Class today as the children embarked on a programme of sessions looking at emotional health and well-being!

Not so Horrible Histories!

Jazz Class assembly today saw a packed hall watch as the children give a fantastic performance of their home written play that told the whole of Tudor history in just 6 minutes! Bringing history to life has taught the children so much and it was a great way to share this learning with the whole school!

Monday 20th May - Outdoor Adventures

Jazz Class have this week spent a very exciting day enjoying a range of outdoor and adventurous activities with our friends at Crosby Hall (CHET). The children went for the day which started with an hour charging around Church Wood finding and solving the clues on the orienteering course, reading the maps, following directions and working as a team were all the order of the day. With just a few minutes for a drink and a biscuit the children moved on to enjoy all the challenges that the Centre’s amazing Adventure Course has to offer and a quick burst around the Maze. After a well deserved Lunch the children went in to Ben’s Gorse to design and make their own shelters, from all that the woodland floor had to offer. Tired, dirty and hungry the children returned to school after an amazing day long adventure.

Wednesday 26th March - The Easter Experience

Our friends from St Oswald’s Church in Netherton joined us this week to share with us the Easter Story. The children were able to participate in a series of workshops and activities that helped them to understand the significant moments of the Easter and learn how these key events have shaped Christianity. The activities complimented the work the children have completed in class in recent week where they have been reading the Easter Story from the perspective of the four Gospel Writers, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John and comparing and contrasting key parts of the story in the different versions. The team from St Oswald;s were very impressed at the biblical knowledge the children demonstrated during the sessions.

Monday 25th March

A group of children from Years 3 & 4 attended an athletics event today at Kings Leadership Academy Hawthornes, competing against 11 other local primary schools. The children took part in a number of activities including relay, hurdles, soft javelin and long jump . Well done to everyone who took part. A selection of photographs from today's event can be found below.

The Science of Sound

Science: Sound

This term we've started our unit on Sound and have learnt that all sounds are made from something vibrating. So as part of our investigations, here are some short videos of us using a tuning fork and feeling it vibrating!

Wednesday 6th March

The children in Jazz Class have been out today. Our day started at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool where we visited a number of the exhibitions including the visiting the Leonardo Da Vinci collection, it was great to see some the extraordinary work of this artist who the children have been studying in class. Great fun was had dressing up as some of the famous faces from history that appear in the gallery’s collection of Holbein paintings and works from the same period. As you can see from the pictures there were some famous faces from school there as well. Following our exciting morning we enjoyed the afternoon participating in the School’s concert with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra at the Philharmonic Hall.

Dewa Roman Experience

As part of our Ancient Romans topic this term, Jazz Class have been to explore the history of our nearest Roman City, Chester. Known as Dewa in Roman times the children enjoyed a fully guided tour of the reconstructions, excavations and museum and enjoyed a wide range of hands-on experiences. They were able to explore many of the themes that they will be learning about in school including, Health, hygiene and medicine, Food and drink, Pottery, Archaeology and discovering Roman artefacts. One of the highlights of the day was to go on a Soldier Patrol with a Roman Legionary. Armed with battle shields and under the ‘strict’ instruction of the experienced legionaries, the children discovered what it took to become part of the greatest fighting forces the world has ever known. Our new recruits had the chance to form a testudo, visit the amphitheatre, defend the walls and prepare for battle.

As you can see from the pictures many favourite characters appear!
