• Year 4 Rivers in Forest School

  Mon 23 Jan 2023

  Last week Year 4 investigated the path that water will take over land. They were challenged to direct the flow of the water from one point to another further down the bank. The team work displayed by these inventive and resilient children was remarkable. All groups were successful in their challenges. We had a lot of fun as well.

  Fri 09 Dec 2022 Mrs McLeod

  Year 5 were joined by Year 5 from Sutton Park Primary and had the privilege of being taught physics by teachers and pupils from Baxter College. It was a wonderful afternoon, with the scientific principles of good experiment design woven in with some good fun! We were making paper aeroplanes in order to understand gravity and upthrust. Thank you to all those taking part!

• We love books!

  Tue 15 Nov 2022 A.Williams

  Reception love stories and books! We invited the Librarian to school to come and share a story with us! She read Winnie the Witch! Then for our home learning we were asked to join the library if we were not already members and borrowed some books to bring home! 

  We also invited our families to our class to read stories with us! It was lovely for our home families to visit our school family!

• Y4 STEM

  This week Year 4 have been finding out all about electricity. They made batteries using a lemon and also a potato. Fascinating and incredibly fun. Alternative ways to generate electricity are very important, now more than ever.

  

• Year 5 DT - COOKING

  Fri 21 Oct 2022 Miss Armstrong

  It was very exciting in Year 5 yesterday!! 

  Having researched recipes which contained local, seasonal produce, the children had the opportunity to cook two recipes which they had voted for.  They chose: Vegetarian Noodles and Pumpkin Muffins. They learned how to cut food safely with a knife using the 'claw' and 'bridge' method. The food tasting was also hugely successful and we definitely have some future chefs in the making.  Excellent work Year 5!!

  

• Year 5 - Earth and Space

  Fri 21 Oct 2022 Miss Armstrong

  During our science topic, the children have been investigating the movement of the Earth and have used shadows to prove that the Earth turns relative to the Sun.  The children made some interesting predictions before the investigation began.  We had a fabulous day, popping out to the playground regularly to see and record how the shadows had moved.
