During science week, the year 3 Lions class built dams out of sugar cubes.
We looked into water absorption and who would make the best, most effective dam for keeping water out. The children tested three different colours of the water, they tested the different amounts of water and they tested the different materials they would use to block the water absorption.
The children really enjoyed all of their testing and reading stories about dams.
The Reception children had a Christmas party where we played party games, danced, sang Christmas songs and had our faces painted. Also Santa came to see us because we had been very good all year! He asked us all what we wanted for Christmas and reminded us to be asleep when he came on Christmas Eve. We all said that we had been very good boys and girls so he gave us all a present! We said thank you and then he had to leave because his reindeers needed feeding.
Reception have also enjoyed having Christmas Lunch and taking part in the Christmas Production! We have all had a fun festive time!
Year 3 have been working on their IT skills and programming probots to move in different directions and make different shapes. Using commands with angles and turns and basic commands. We have also used LOGO turtle to make him make new patterns and move around a road map.
On Friday 21st September, both Year 5 classes enjoyed a visit from Starlincs – the Mobile Planetarium. The interactive presentation included a tour of the night sky with stars, planets, sun and moon all shown on the inner surface of the Planetarium. The children and staff fully enjoyed the experience and developed their knowledge and understanding of the topic.
On Wednesday 11th July 2018 the children in Reception visited the Natureland Seal Sanctuary in Skegness.
The children had a wonderful time getting to know all about the animals and afterwards they had the opportunity to build sandcastles on Skegness beach and have a paddle in the water!!
On Wednesday 27th June, Year 3 took a trip to Magna Science Museum near Rotherham to consolidate their science knowledge.
They explored the 4 pavilions and took part in a practical workshop. The 4 pavilions were Earth, Air, Fire and Water.
They had great fun exploring how these elements help us, how they are created and what they can be used for.
They were also able to manipulate the elements to create different effects, sounds and results.
The practical workshop was called ‘Rocks and Volcanoes.’ The year 3 children were able to classify different rocks based on their properties and made an exploding volcano to show how different igneous rocks are made.
This morning, Year 1 from both Carlton Road and Staniland enjoyed a visit from a real life baby dinosaur! The children learned lots of new facts about Millie (the baby dinosaur) and even got a chance to meet her. After this, they took part in a palaeontologist workshop where they had to brush and dig for real fossils. They found parts of different dinosaurs and even other animals too! Everyone had a ROARSOME morning!
On Thursday the 26th June Year 6 pupils attended an exciting and awe-inspiring talk by special guest Sir Robert Winston at Haven High Academy. After the talk, they had the opportunity to meet and ask Sir Robert Winston questions – and even have a photograph taken too!
On Tuesday 19th June, the Researchers’ class did an assembly on the topic of Dia de los Muertos (Or Day of the Dead in English). As we have learnt all about this festival during our Mexico topic this term, we had lots of valuable information to ambienpro.com” pass on to the other children in school and our parents. In the middle of the assembly, we performed a Spanish song for everyone and at the end of the assembly, we performed a song called ‘Hot, Hot, Hot’ and the rest of the school joined in with our dance moves!
