We had so many wonderful World Book Day competition entries. All of the winners received their book prize in assembly today. The winning characters will be displayed in our school library. 

What a great week Year 6 has had- well done everyone. 

Year 1 had lots of fun at the Science fair this morning.. A big thank you to Year 6 for organising and running it for us! 

Year 5 have heard from lots of different NHS workers and we were able to ask them plenty of questions. The NHS workers we spoke to included a play therapist; a mental health nurse; a speech and language therapist; a trainee nurse; a physiotherapist and a dentist. We have collected lots of knowledge about the different careers in the NHS. 

Year 3 have enjoyed exploring how different pulley mechanisms work. We have made working flag poles using bulldog clips. We have attached pulleys to our lego constructions. We have explored how cogs and gears work. We have also used our scientific skills to measure the force needed to lift different amounts of water using a Newton Metre. We are now ready to make informed designs to create a crane to help the Iron Man escape from a trap. 

Thank you year 6 we had a wonderful time at your Science Fair today.

Year 2 learnt how to weigh ingredients and made honey cakes.

Of course they all know where honey comes from due to our bee themed learning.

Can children remember the ingredients?

Lots of skills are needed in baking and children are looking forward to baking at home to improve their skills further.

Today, Year 5 tuned into a BBC Live Lesson to celebrate British Science Week. It talked about space-related topics, light reflection and even featured Tim Peake, who was a British European Space Agency astronaut! 

Today, the children took part in a fun and practical activity as part of their Design and Technology learning. They made their own chocolate spread sandwiches while developing important skills. The children followed a set of instructions carefully, learning about the correct order of steps needed to make their sandwich. They practised spreading the chocolate carefully, assembling their sandwich, and talking about the process they followed.

To celebrate British Science Week, we took part in an exciting investigation based around the question: “How far can a paper aeroplane fly?”
