What a fun day class 9 have had today!

It was great to see you all in red and joining in with all of the crafts and experiments we have had happening. Above are some links to the key stage 1 children singing their phase song too, which felt extra special today. They are little snippets of our community crew meeting and if you haven’t been invited in yet, please don’t worry because we can’t wait to see you soon!

Class 9 fantastic science experiments

17th March 2023Aime Shaw

We have been learning all about super scientists this week and how they can help us. We did a few of our own science experiments this week and had lots of fun doing so! I hope you like our photos!!!

The first science experiment was all about how to get our own fingerprints. We only used a pencil, sellotape and a piece of paper but it was fantastic to see how clear the finger prints were!

Our next science investigation involved sound. We used paper cups and string to make our own telephones and discussed how the sound travelled along the string through vibrations.

And our final scientific experiment that we have done today involves skittles! We had a go at making our own rainbow using water and skittles and the children loved it!

What a fantastic science week class 9 have had in between doing their assessments. Super work guys!

Class 13 – Digestive System

17th March 2023Jake Taylor

In our expedition lessons, we have been learning all about the digestive system! We have been looking at the different organs that are involved in the digestive system and learning all about how food travels from our mouth all the way through our body.

Red Nose Day Challenge

17th March 2023Rebecca Barnett

Happy Red Nose Day! It is great to see so many of you dressed in red to show your support today. Thank you for all your generous donations. The school council have one last challenge for you! Over the weekend, we wonder how many different red things you can find.

You could have a look around your house or even venture outside on a walk. Count how many different red things you can find to share with your crew on Monday. You could even take some pictures or draw what you can see.

KS1 Community Crew

17th March 2023Samantha Good

WOW, what a week it has been this week, from all of KS1 staff, a huge thank you for everyones hard word during our assessment week. We have seen some incredible improvements, especially in maths. I think that might be down to the wonderful work done on TTRockstars and Numbots.

Our stewardship shoutouts this week were for children who have been keeping their classrooms neat and tidy and taking ownership of their actions, choosing to tidy up after themselves but also doing it for their peers too. It is lovely to see such kind and helpful children in our phase!

We even had an amazing reading shoutout for Thea this week for getting her Gold reading certificate! What a superstar.

The best attendance this week goes to Crew Rodgers, well done to everyone in Crew Rodgers, who can beat them next week?!

Another HUGE shoutout to our Out Of This World’s this week. We found it so hard to choose this week, as everyone has worked so hard, but big well done to Lauren, Luna, Ethan, Ava, Reid and Ava-Leigh!!

I wonder who will be Out Of This World next week……

Crew Ambler – Science

17th March 2023Tom Ambler

As part of science week, this morning we took on the role of forensic scientists; we explored how to take our fingerprints. Everyone was able to identify whether their fingerprint pattern was loop, whorl or arch.

Crew Knowles: Science Investigation

16th March 2023Rebecca Knowles

Jack, our crew councillor, did a wonderful job of leading his crew in a science investigation involving fingerprints! He was so patient and supportive with everyone and did a great job of explaining the task! It was really interesting to see everyone’s finger prints and figure out whether they were made up of loops, arches or whorls! Fantastic work Jack!

Class 14 – Investigating Yeast

16th March 2023Rebecca Barnett

Yesterday, we investigated at what temperature yeast works best at. After making our predictions, we worked together to set up the investigation making sure to measure carefully. We gave each bottle a good shake and then left them for 10 minutes before measuring each balloon. Then, we decided to leave the bottles over night to see what would happen.

Nutritious food! 🍎🌱

16th March 2023Simon Gerrard

Today, Class 11 have been looking into food and their nutritional value. We looked at what the Eatwell food chart to show what is needed for a balanced diet and why. After this, we then looked at how the different nutrients, such as carbohydrates and fibre, help our body.

We then worked really well and collaboratively with the iPads, looking into the red label of a McDonald’s food order. Unfortunately, we couldn’t order them and that was lucky for us, as the amount of salts and sugars surprised some of us.

Here is a sneak peak into the work the classroom during our work.

P.S. – we apologise in advance for any conversations around the food labels, as I know some of us were already checking at lunch!
