Science - Phases of the moon

Today in science, the children learnt about the phases of the moon. We used a torch (the sun) to shine on a white ball (the moon) to see how it would illuminate the moon whilst it orbits the Earth. The children holding the moon represented Earth and they slowly spun round on the spot. 


Library Club

Today our first group of Reading Ambassador held a Library club at lunchtime. They enjoyed reading books with other children.


Pol-Ed Assembly by Wellbeing Leaders

Our Wellbeing Leaders delivered their first assembly of the new year today. The focus was Happy Mind, Happy You. They gave the pupils lots of strategies to help them with their emotions and the support in place when they are struggling.

Science - The Earth and the sun

We made a scale model of the Earth (2mm blutac) and the sun (football) and put 23m distance between them. The class were very shocked by the size difference between the Earth and the sun!
