We are Historians!

Year 5/6 family learning

REMINDER

 

Dear parents/carers, 

 

On Tuesday 12th October 2021 we  will be inviting you to join our family learning celebration. Our current expedition is centred around the history of rail and we would like to  work closely with the local community by supporting Thorne Miniature Railway, who are currently fundraising to keep their service running. 

 

This will be taking place in Thorne Park where our children will be hosting stalls to raise funds in support of the miniature railway. 

 

On Friday 1st October we will be taking part in a non-uniform day. To come in non uniform we would appreciate a donation for the tombola that will be one of the stalls at our fundraiser. 

 

On family learning day we would like to invite you to join us at Thorne park and support your children. On 12/10/21, Year 5 and 6 will be running stalls and have the opportunity to have a ride on the miniature train and learn about how it works. 

 

To enable this to happen children will need to be collected from Green Top at 2:00pm and meet us in the park by 2:15. This will give you a chance to enjoy the event prior to the rest of school and the local public being invited to join us at 3:00pm. Unfortunately if you are unable to join us children will remain in school until 3pm where they can be collected as usual. 

 

Please email [email protected] to let us know your intentions. 

 

Thank you, Team 5/6.

The clean water challenge

Today Crew Ambler arranged themselves into 5 teams to take on the ‘Clean water challenge.’
Each group was given a bottle of muddy/dirty water and their challenge was to use various equipment and methods to separate the mud form the water. The winner would be the team with the cleanest water after 45 minutes!
They were given equipment including sieves and filter paper to work together and decide which equipment and which ways were best to separate the mud from the water.

After 45 minutes these were the results and the winners were Georgie, Danny and Ashton!

Well done everyone!!
