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!

Class 8- science experiment 2- gravity

12th March 2025Aime Shaw

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!

Reading Books Tomorrow (Thursday 13th)

12th March 2025Carly Schon

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
