Year 6 had a great Christmas party on Monday, they all looked great and had lots of fun playing party games, eating festive food and dancing to some Christmas classics and some 90s classics! Year 6 have a particular love for Rick Astley and the Backstreet Boys!

Year 1 have been taking a closer look at some of the leaves, nuts and seeds they have been collecting as part of their autumn topic. They used a variety microscopes and magnifying glasses, which have been kindly loaned to the school by the Royal Microscopical Society. The children found it very interesting to see the different patterns and veins in the leaves. They even noticed a few holes where insects had been feasting.

Y3 enjoyed a day of creating algorithms, programming and de-bugging at The Open Zone. The children worked collaboratively to problem solve using materials such as Lego.  The children gave an excellent account of themselves and were a credit to the school.

Thank you to the Y3 parents who managed to drop off and collect their children from the venue, which enabled the visit to take place.

Year 1 went to the Open Zone @ The Word to learn more about coding, algorithms and debugging. The used the the Bluebots to create a set of simple instructions, as well as the Code-a-Pillar. The then moved onto the Sphero’s, which were much harder to control.
