Lastly, was the hotly-anticipated Year 6 Race – something of a Levens Tradition. Our brand new track was on fire with the blindingly fast lap times being posted! Giggles all around for that one! After the team games everyone also took part in a more traditional flat race. And who could forget what seemed to be a fan-favourite the dressing-up relay! Imagine, if you will, a relay with a top hat and rather fetching scarf instead of the more traditional baton.
SKIDDAW MOUNTAIN 3D MODEL SERIES
Our morning started with a series of team games – wriggling through hoops, running a relay with cups of water and a lacrosse challenge. It was really lovely to get to spend time together, and great to see everyone being supportive of one another. Thanks to everyone who took part, joined in with all the games and cheered their team onwards to victory. This morning, both Scafell and Skiddaw enjoyed a fantastic morning of sport and team-building games on the playing fields. Please see the letter that has come home for more details.Ģ9th June 2021 in Scafell / Skiddaw / Whole School by Levens School Well done to all Year 2 pupils, and Mrs Matheson who learnt too, saying learning this new skill was a highlight of her week! Each week, Mrs Hurley played great solo tunes to the group on her violin, while they tidied away, and Year 3 and 4 often stopped to listen too – a real treat for the ears! We are looking forward to continuing violin lessons again for those in Year 2 who wish to carry on in September. So much thinking and fine movement is involved it is a bit like patting your head and rubbing your tummy at the same time! Superb listening, following of instructions and great enjoyment from everyone.
SKIDDAW MOUNTAIN 3D MODEL HOW TO
They demonstrated how to hold the violin in rest position, how to position it to play, pluck the strings and use the bow. So with this in mind, Year 2 have been ‘adding a new string to their bow’ and learning to play the violin with the wonderful Mrs Hurley, kindly supported by a bequest from Guy and Maggie Paton, local residents, in memory of their son Jamie.Īs a showcase for their new skills they performed a concert to the rest of Skiddaw class and our VIP guest Mrs Coker. The benefits of learning to play a musical instrument are very well researched and understood. Of course, we stopped and ate our chocolate which tasted pretty good even though we had changed it to much!ġst July 2021 in Skiddaw by Levens School We know that rocks are weathered and eroded into little bits that flow into rivers and into the sea and the whole cycle starts again!
Then we put some of the chocolate into a cup of hot water and melted it and cooled it, like the igneous rocks that are formed underground and then erupted out of a volcano like granite and basalt. We then applied a bit of heat from our hands and twisted the chocolate sediment to form metamorphic rocks like marble and slate. We pressed these little bits down just like the sea presses the layers down to make these rocks. We started with layers of grated milk and white chocolate to represent the sedimentary rocks like limestone and chalk. There is nothing better than chocolate to show the ways of making different types of rocks! The Rock Cycle goes round and round and rocks are changed into other types over millions of years. Skiddaw class have been learning all about rocks in Science recently.
