Queens Inclosure Primary School

Spring Term 1 - 2019

We were very excited at the beginning of this half term to receive a delivery of eggs, even though we were unsure where they had come from. We found them inside our potion pod so hoped they were magical! We spent a lot of time predicting which creature we think may hatch out of our eggs, asking questions and deciding how best to look after them. In our potion pod, we created spells to encourage our eggs to hatch. When we came back to school after the weekend, there were dragons in our classrooms and lots of egg shell everywhere! Using our dragon as a stimulus we wrote our own magical stories and instructions for how to look after a dragon. We discussed real and mythical creatures in detail and had an interesting debate about dinosaurs! In P4C, we explored the concept of magic and whether it was something good or bad.

We were also fortunate enough this half term to take part in the Hampshire Illustrated Book Awards and thoroughly enjoyed reading four books and choosing our favourite. We are looking forward to finding out which book was voted as Hampshire's favourite over all.

Autumn Term 2 - 2018

This half term, we have enjoyed learning all about ‘Heroes’. We started off reading about Burglar Bill and helped the police to capture him by making wanted posters. After learning about the police, we met Traction Man and helped advertise his super powers to the rest of the school. We made our own Traction Man adverts and wrote our own stories. We were very lucky to have a visit from some real life heroes and enjoyed practising being fire fighters and using the hose!

Autumn Term 2 - 2018

This half term, we have been learning all about animals through our ‘Pets at home’ theme. We have been busy being scientists investigating different animals - where they live and what they like to eat. We were extremely lucky to have a visit from some creepy critters when Zoolab came into school and taught us even more about them. We learnt which creatures have bones, which do not have bones and other characteristics. Did you know a millipede has 248 legs?!

We finished the half term learning all about the harvest. We made our own Sukkah huts and celebrated the festival thinking about what we are thankful for.
