2P at The Deep

17th March 2024Mr Pickering

We all had a fabulous time on our visit to The Deep. The children saw first-hand the negative impact humans are having on our seas and environments. 2P has decided that we must stop this and make a change!

We really enjoyed seeing a whole range of different species but seeing the sawfish and the stingray swimming over our heads was definitely a favourite! Take a look at some of the things we saw in our pictures below.

Save Our Seas!

8th March 2024Mr Pickering

2P have explored how humans have had a negative impact on our seas and oceans thanks to our need for plastic. We have looked at the history of plastic being found in our waters and how this even extends to discoveries in the very deepest parts of the Mariana Trench. 2P decided that we need this to stop! We have used our research to make posters to make people realise the damage we are doing.

3SG Wildlife Park Field Trip

5th March 2024Mrs Graves

We had a fantastic time on Thursday at the Wildlife Park.

The Polar Bear Workshop was really informative and it was great to get ‘hands-on’ with a polar bear skull, claws and footprints.

We then saw the real life polar bears – they were huge and tucking into their breakfast!

As a lucky bonus we also got a glimpse of the baby rhino – it was so cute, but didn’t stay out for long – I think we scared it off, as we were so excited to see it!!

The field trip will really help us with our writing – so look out for our persuasive texts!

We would love for you to join us next week on the 13th March at 1:30, when we put into action what we have learnt in our ‘Activism March’ to save the polar bears!

I was very proud of how the children behaved on what was a long and tiring day.

Super Scientists in 3SG

5th March 2024Mrs Graves

We have been investigating forces in 3SG this is week, to find out if the surface an object travels on changes how it moves.

We conducted a ‘fair test’ and had some interesting results. Overall, we decided that a flat smooth object moves further when travelling on a smooth flat surface. We found out that this is because when there is more friction, the object cannot travel as far.

We are investigating magnets

3rd March 2024Mrs Haycock

We have had great fun investigating magnets and finding polar north by hanging a magnet from a piece of string. The initial speed of the magnet spinning in both directions convinced the children that it was just ‘going cray-cray’ (their words NOT mine) and not actually working. They were amazed when it finally settled, pointing in the direction we had previously confirmed as being north with a compass!

Ellis took his learning a step further and investigated how closely he could push two magnets together before the magnetic force took over! Well done Ellis, extra special scientist shout out for you young man!

Well done everyone!

Fieldwork fun at Yorkshire Wildlife Park…

29th February 2024Mrs Haycock

Approximately 17,595 steps or 13.12km of walking should mean your child will sleep well tonight. What a wonderful (but tiring) day! The polar bears were so active and our workshop helped us to better understand how enormous these fabulous creatures are. The photos really don’t do the day justice – you need to see them to believe them!

Your behaviour around the park was was fabulous 4H and shout out to everyone in the red crews for excellent behaviour whilst we were on the coach! I am so proud of you all.

Special shout out to Caleb who spent the day making as many notes as he could about polar bears!
