Celebrating British Science Week

10th March 2023Rebecca Barnett

Today marks the start of British Science Week and we can’t wait to get involved when we get back to school next week. Each crew will take part in a fascinating fingerprint investigation led by the school council. We will also have science club attending the coffee afternoon (Wednesday 15th) to share some of the exciting things we get up to at science club.

In the meantime, there are a few challenges you can get involved in at home and bring into school next week.

For Tuesday – Create a timeline of scientists through history. What are some of the greatest discoveries and who made them?

For Wednesday – Invent like a Victorian. Channel your inner inventor and design something to make life at home easier.

For Thursday – See and Eat Vegetables. Investigate the connection between how vegetables grow and how they end up on your plate.

You could also find your own investigations to try! Send any pictures of you being a scientist to your phase leaders. We can’t wait to see what you get up to!

The Big Battery Hunt

6th March 2023Rebecca Barnett

Big Battery Hunt is back for its second year! - Primary Treasure Chest

What is the big battery hunt?

The Big Battery Hunt is a nationwide battery recycling programme for schools funded by Duracell. Its aim is to increase the number of batteries currently being recycled in the UK. Pupils are challenged to collect as many batteries as they can, encouraging their communities to do the same.

All you need to do is take any unwanted batteries into school and give them to your school councillor. The school council will collect the batteries, keep count of them and recycle them for you. Let’s see how many we can collect this year!

Crew Jackson – amazing artwork

2nd March 2023Jillian Jackson

Wow! This afternoon when I returned to class, I was blown away by the amazing artwork they had produced with Mrs Hardman.

In Y6 we are currently researching inspirational people ready for biography writing. We are really enjoying reading the ‘Little people, big dreams’ series of books and used these to support our artwork.

Well done everyone in Crew Jackson – I am very impressed!

Crew Jackson – Trinity Academy science lesson

Yesterday, Y6 took part in a science lesson held at Trinity Academy. The children took part in a range of practical activities to uncover the thief who stole the missing microscope. Well done Crew Jackson for your hard work; I was very impressed with your mature attitudes during the session.
