Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
Last week, Year 6 were lucky enough to visit Crucial Crew. We took part in lots of vital sessions on safety including those from the police and transport services. We even learnt how to detect CO in our homes.
The school council enjoyed a trip to the Salford Civic Centre on Friday. We met the ceremonial mayor and learnt about her job. We also learnt about how the voting system works and got to vote for our favourite city. Salford won!
Last week for science week Nursery enjoyed exploring growing seeds. We discussed the sequence that we need to follow and the children then had to decide on and find the equipment that they needed to plant their seeds. We even carried out an experiment, planting bean seeds into bags instead of soil. We can't wait to see what happens to them.
This week Reception have been given lots of different challenges for STEM week. One of the challenges was to try and build a boat for Penguin Blue to get back home. Will it float or will it sink?
This week marks 30 years STEM so year 4 have begun their science topic on sound by carrying out lots of investigations. They have investigated how we hear, how we change the pitch of a sound and how we can change how loud or quiet something is. Well done year 4, brilliant investigations.
Year 3 have been learning about magnets and forces. The children have been investigating which surface area creates the least amount of resistance, they also investigated are all metals attracted to a magnet and which materials can magnets attract through? They have been brilliant scientists and have enjoyed learning all about magnets and forces.
We had a super time celebrating World Book Day last week!
Last week Nursery enjoyed learning about the life cycle of plants. We then enjoyed planting peas in our playground. We can't wait for them to grow so we can eat them!
This week we have been asked to build a new motorway and we need to add cats eyes. Firstly, we need to consider which material is going to be best.
Today we discussed how we are going to conduct an accurate experiment, how we would measure our findings and how we will ensure we use fair testing
What a fantastic day we’ve had celebrating our love of reading for World Book Day! We’ve taken part in book tastings, read with friends and family and learnt about some amazing new texts and authors!
