Today, the children have been using Scratch Jr on the ipads in small groups to create simple algorithms. The children started the lesson by choosing a Sprite and a suitable backdrop. The children then explored some basic algorithms to get their sprite to move. The children were given s challenge to get their Sprite to move to create different shapes. The children took notes of the different algorithms that worked which they can refer back to next lesson.The children have also explored adding another Sprite and got both of their Sprites to move and have a conversation.

Well done to all of the Year 2 children who created egg-cellent Easter Bonnets and Egg creations, you have all been very creative with your designs. Well done to our two winners, it was a very difficult decision to make but well deserved! Thank you to all of the children who took part in joining in with our Easter celebrations. 

Year 6 have had a fabulous day hosting the Science Fair this year. We have worked with KS1 and KS2 to investigate, research and consolidate our scientific learning across the school. We have explored magnets, electricity, scents, fingerprints, chemical reactions, famous inventors, space and beyond, rocks and fossils, light and shadow and human organs.

Thank you Year 6 you were fantastic leaders today and I am very proud of you all. 

Today, Year 2 have combined our ‘hook for learning’ activities with ‘Science week’ and ‘Outdoor learning.’ The children have taken part in a number of activities including: tasting honey from four different countries (Greece, China, UK and Africa) and rating which is their favourite honey and why, the children have been gardening and planting Bee-friendly flowers/plants to create a beautiful meadow and Bee friendly environment at Broadbent Fold. The children have also been Nature detectives, connecting with nature and exploring different wildlife.
