  • Sports Day

    Fri 26 May 2017

    Thursday was a beautiful day for sports day.  What a great day of activities we had.  There were balls on rackets, three legged races, hurdles and of course the long jump.  Everyone enjoyed a picnic together in the sunshine at 12 o'clock and more sun cream, was liberally applied!

    Well done to everyone who took part - including both the staff and the parents who joined in with almost all of the events!

     

  • Science week

    Fri 26 May 2017

    This week we have had an amazing week of science.

    The week started really well with marble runs being created all over the school.  The children used a range of different materials including lolly sticks, Blu-Tac, pots and other recycled materials.  The aim was to make the longest run.  Redwood class created a class run using almost all of their tables!  We went to a science show at Athelney on Tuesday where the children learnt all about the digestive system and were wowed by a real life scientist!  Wednesday was investigation day.  year 5 designed and made catapults to find out which sort of projectile went the furthest, Year 4 looked at how they could make an egg float by adding salt to water and Year 3 created balloon rockets, finding out which was the best angle for a speedy rocket!  Over the course of the week we also had microscopes that the children could use, a talk form a bee keeper and a talk for the people who are working at Keston Bog. Well done to everyone for being fabulous scientists this week!
