Form III plant seeds

Form III have been studying the unit ‘Helping plants grow well’ in their science lessons. 
We sowed some wild flower seeds. When they had grown, we planted them in a corner of the field which has been left to grow naturally so it looks like a small meadow.
The flowers should attract bees, butterflies and other insects.
The children are learning about the importance of developing and respecting the local natural environment.

Form III study shadows

Form III are studying Light and Shadows as part of their science work.

They used some simple equipment to record the ‘movement’ of the sun around the sky in order to make sun dials.

They discovered that shadows change in position and length throughout the day.

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’.
