Year 5 - Parachute Experiment!
Year 5 have been putting their scientific thinking to the test with an exciting parachute experiment! The children explored how different factors can affect the speed at which a parachute falls, making predictions and carefully observing the results. They enjoyed working together, testing their ideas and thinking scientifically about forces such as air resistance.
Year 5 - Exploring tints and shades!
Year 5 have been exploring the wonderful world of colour by experimenting with tints and shades. The children investigated how adding white or black can transform a colour, creating lighter and darker variations. They enjoyed experimenting with different combinations and developing their understanding of how colour can be used to create depth, contrast and mood in artwork.
Voting for Student Council!
This week, our whole school took part in our Student Council elections! Pupils had the opportunity to listen to their classmates, make their choices and cast their votes, giving them a valuable opportunity to experience democracy and understand the importance of having their voices heard. It was fantastic to see the children taking the process so seriously and demonstrating responsibility as members of our school community.
Year 3 - Making Prosthetic Hands!
Year 3 have been putting their scientific knowledge into practice by designing and making their very own prosthetic hands! Through this hands-on activity, the children explored how the different parts of a hand work together to allow us to move and grasp objects. They enjoyed experimenting with their designs, problem-solving and thinking carefully about how they could make their prosthetic hands work effectively.
