Today, Class 11 have been creating more circuits in preparation for their results section of their scientific report. They have included a switch this time to see how it would affect the flow of electricity in a simple series circuit. See below images of how Class 11 managed to get the circuits working!
Here is a little update of Class 11s first two week backs after Christmas, now that photos are full working!
In our hook week, we looked into our first Case Study, which will look at electricity and other fuels. We thought it was a great idea to walk around school and search for different electrical appliances. We found so many!
As part of our Case Study 2 hook day, we were looking at biology and more specifically flowers. We labelled the different parts of our artistic flowers and created some beautiful designs!
Next, we looked at the other part of Case Study 2, which will be looking into humans. We created some really fantastic x-rays, so lets hope these are the only x-rays for Class 11 this year!
This week we have started our Case Study fully and have developed our knowledge further of electricity and more specifically circuits. We worked well collaboratively and persevered to make the different circuits light up. Not only can we make circuits, we can name the components of a circuit!
Other great learning has taken place and more beautiful work has been produced, which we can’t wait to continue sharing!
On a personal note, thank you Class 11 for making me feel very welcome and a part of the Crew. Let’s keep being amazing and producing more wonderful work. Happy weekend, guys! 😆
Today, Class 11 have been making their very own circuits, using electrical components that we have been learning about during Expedition. We absolutely loved making these, despite the challenge they offered. Some of us managed to get two bulbs working, whilst a few of us showed tremendous determination to get the switch working! See below for the fun we had:
Again, there were some really gorgeous things said about our winners this week. Well done everyone for all your efforts, keep working hard!
We are starting to collect all the resources we need for the year 3/4 product and are running short on jam jars for all the children to have 2 each for their product.
If you have jam or anything in a small glass jar, we would be very grateful if you could bring this to school for us to use when you have finished.
Thank you to those who have already helped the cause and brought some in for us!
Today in G Block Crew Tortora were lucky enough to take part in becoming World Record Breakers by joining forces with National Numeracy Charity and Times Tables Rock Stars to beat the record for a live stream number roll. The children joined in with Katya from Strictly Come Dancing and Baz from TT Rock Stars. The children danced along with Katya and the event encouraged children to feel positive and confident about maths. The challenge was adjudicated by an official from the Guinness World Records and a new record was set. Well done everyone.
Well done to Year 3/4 winners of our HOWL’s this week. The children have being Getting Smart, Working Hard and Being Kind. Well done to you all.
Fantastic effort from Crew Jeeves for our Rockstar day. Some amazing outfits. They truly rocked this mornings crew session.
The below will hopefully answer any questions which parents/carers may have about the visit which were not outlined on the letter that was recently sent out.
Thank you,
Mr Oldridge
