Mad Scientists

Year 6 arrived in school this Monday looking very strange indeed. Mad hair, white coats, big glasses, anyone would have thought it was 'mad scientist day'! During the day we explored electricity, separating materials and chemical reactions. It was great fun and at times fairly explosive.

Mask Mania

The homework project for the year 5 Greek topic was to make a Greek theatre mask. The children were allowed to use any media and method of their choice and were encouraged to be as creative as possible. The results were truly stunning as you can see from the slideshow.

Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes...

Our year 5 children had a health road show on Monday 3rd November 2008. They started the day with invigorating aerobics to get the mind and body awake. They then went on to complete a sponsored fun run. The money raised from this will be spent on health resources for the school. Finally the children took part in an exciting range of activities including, exotic fruit tasting, naming weird vegetables, fitness tests and pulse investigations. It was a fantastic day and a very motivational way to start our new topic.
