As part of science week we have been investigating sound. Today we have taken part in an investigation creating our own guitar to investigate the different pitch we can make using different sized rubber bands #ScienceWeek #OgdenTrust

The partial lunar eclipse in the UK will be visible – weather permitting – during the early hours of 14 March from 3:57 GMT before peaking at 6:19. The best chance of seeing it is by having a clear view of the western horizon.
We would love to see any pictures you manage to capture!
Today in crew we made posters to remind people how to stay safe online!
Today Year 1 were lucky enough to have a visit from Mr Millham who came to talk to the children about his allotment and the things he grows. The children loved seeing all the things Mr Millham brought to show them. Mr Millham also left us some gifts. We are now the proud owners of a strawberry plant, a pot of pea plants and some cress so we can grow our own food. Now we can have a competition to see which class can grow the best plants!
Today we explored gravity. We watched a video that explained that gravity is a force that pulls things towards the centre of the Earth.
The children then took part in their own experiment where they were predicting which ball would fall to the floor the quickest. There were 3 balls of different sizes and weights and they worked in small groups to test their theories. We then added a feather into the equation and learnt about Galileo’s ball and feather theory.
To finish off the session , the children created their own straw rockets and we tested them to see how far they would fly until gravity pulled them towards the Earth.
Another fabulous scientific day…we certainly have some budding scientists in class 8!
A massive shout out to our dedicated reader Charlie for having read over 1 million words on Accelerated Reader! You are definitely a reading champion!
This is a reminder that all children need to return their reading books to school tomorrow as Friday is a training day. Please help us by ensuring all children bring their books each week – even if they have not been read yet.
Unfortunately we are unable to allow children to keep Shared Reading books for an extra week. This is because all books need to be collected in as a set and returned to the reading room for the next group of children to use. If the book is not in school on book changing day this will prompt an email reminder from your child’s class teacher or phonics teacher.
If the book has not been returned by the following book changing day a fine of £3.50 per missing book will be added to your Parent Pay account on this day.
Thank You,
KS1 Team
We have had a very exciting day in reception observing and watching our chicks grow and change! We currently have 4 chicks! Suggested names are flying around for them! The children have been looking at the chicks in detail and have begun writing words to describe the chicks. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow morning brings!
What a fantastic community crew we have had today! We have celebrated so much beautiful work, children reading regularly at home, Howl point winners and our Crew Champions! Here are some of our superstars from this week! Congratulations to Regan and Jack our super Crew champions!
