• S.T.E.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths)

  Mon 19 Mar 2018

  We celebrated STEM day with gusto!

  The Foundation Unit made slime, and using coca-cola they made a huge explosion which made everyone laugh.

  Year 1 were Development Scientists for the day. Firstly they had to do some market research on different perfumes and then they developed their own using a range of very interesting ingredients. They even designed some  expensive-looking bottles to hold their perfumes. Watch out for these in the shops everyone!

  Year 2 investigated how to keep divers warm. For this, they had to make sure they developed a fair test using some very sophisticated scientific equipment.  They were stunned to find that bubble wrap was the best insulator.  

  Year 3 investigated how light reflected on different materials and applied their knowledge to design some very cool and  effective school bags.

  Year 4 had to be particularly brave as they found a range of  minibeasts and then analysed them. By the end of the day the children had become quite attached to their new friends!

  Year 5 investigated a crime. To do this they had to analyse finger prints, hair and  handwriting; they also performed a fluid analysis on clothes. All the clues led them to Miss Saxelby, who we will be watching very carefully from now on.

  Year 6 Investigated balloons: how to inflate and deflate using different temperatures of water and coca-cola. They also investigated how to place pins into balloons without making them pop. In our assembly they looked like magicians!

  After the 'Snow Days' disrupting our plans last week we celebrated World Book Day on Wednesday 7th February. The Children had a wonderful day dressing up as their favourite book characters. Here are some pictures of the day and the fantastic outfits.
