British Science Week

We had a fascinating workshop with Mr Birchall from Primary Science looking at electricity. We had a go at several different challenges making circuits of various difficulties using a range of components. We made a Morse Code board and had a go at using Morse Code to send secret messages. We also played a fairground game where we had to move the rod along the circuit without turning the light on.

We also learned lots of history about electricity. Do you know static electricity was first discovered in 600BC?

Amazing Art in Key Stage 2!

, , , , , , , , ,

Our Key Stage 2 classes have created a variety of artwork, based on their current class texts.  Year 3 children have used chalk and pastels to create images of the "Iron Man" and Year 4 have used their portrait skills to draw pictures of Henty VIII's wives from their Tuodor topic.  Year 5 created a newly discovered fruit in their work on "The Explorer".  They sketched real fruit but then painted it an unusual colour to produce a new type.  Year 6 used inspiration from Shaun Tan and his books to design artwork using different techniques.  We are very proud of this amazing artwork!  Well done
