Well done to some of our Y5/6 girls who took part in a netball tournament this afternoon at Laurel Academy in Mexborough. The girls developed their skills as the tournament went on. They missed out on reaching the final by a last minute point 2.1. #LovePlover

Helping our classmates to improve their work

6th November 2024Mr Schofield

After writing up or scientific report following an investigation into water resistance, I was impressed to see the children using their skills of peer critique to provide kind, helpful and specific feedback to improve their work. A great example of being kind. Well done!

5S Study Sikhism

18th October 2024Mr Schofield

For our R.E. learning, we focused on religious festivals. Specifically, we looked at the Sikh festival of Bandi Chhor Divas.

We learnt about how it is celebrated in India, and what specific ways British families recognise the occassion.

We then told the story of the festival in groups by creating posters and storyboards.

Well done!

5S investigating air resistance

15th October 2024Mr Schofield

5S investigated the effect of air resistance on large sheets of card by running with them held in different positions. Interestingly, we found that the card has more air to move aside when held up, meaning we were not able to run quickly. If we held the card on it’s side, the effect of air resistance was reduced and we could run faster.

We discussed some real life examples such as bicycle helmets and clothing, formula one cars and parachutes and described the advantages of streamlined design.
