MIV visit Robinwood

Middle IV recently spent 3 days at The Robinwood Activity Centre just outside Todmorden.
Robinwood provided our children with the chance to have fun whilst learning new skills as individuals and working together in teams. The children enjoyed a varied programme including canoeing, archery, bouldering, climbing and abseiling. The highly qualified instructors were very helpful and considerate, gently encouraging all those who were a little nervous.
The nerves soon disappeared as their confidence shone, allowing them to realise that they could achieve anything with the right amount of help and encouragement.
MIV had a fantastic time at Robinwood due to the highly qualified friendly staff, and thoroughly organised activities.

Egyptian artefacts

One of our Year 3 children brought these Egyptian artefacts into school to show to the rest of the class.The picture is painted onto papyrus which is made from reeds that have been woven together and pressed. From papyrus we get the word ‘paper’.

Form III grow stalactites

Stalactites and stalagmites are stone formations found in some limestone caves.
Stalactites hang from the walls or roof and stalagmites grow up from the floor, sometimes they join to make a column.
This process takes thousands of years.

Form III have grown their own stalactite as part of their science topic on rocks and soils.
They dissolved washing soda crystals in hot water. Two beakers  were then filled with the solution and a piece of string was put between them to act as a wick. The stalactite took about 3 days to form.

Numeracy is fun!

Numeracy is fun in Form One! We have been learning about 3 dimensional shapes. After learning about spheres, Mr Kirkham showed us how to do a magic trick using a sphere. It was fascinating!
