First Class - Science Week
It was science week last week! First class were very busy conducting their own experiments and learning about so many different things. Have a look at some of our experiments.
Spinners! We made paper helicopters and tested them out to see how the wind affected their flight. 🚁 🚁
Marble madness! We trialed and tested out how we could make marbles roll farther off our own handmade ramps. We soon found out the steeper the ramp, the faster the marble rolled!
Skittle time! We tested out the effect water has on skittles. We soon found out that we could create our own rainbow.
Raft building! We read the story “The Three Billy Goats Gruff” and decided on another way the goats could cross the river (without encountering a troll!). The children built and tested out their own rafts, which proved to be very successful.

Third and Fourth Class - Athletics - Thursday, 10th March 2022
Third and Fourth Class had a great time this morning practicing their athletic skills. We played a game of Rats and Rabbit and this helped them with their reaction speeds. They also practiced running over a distance building from 30 seconds up to two minutes 🏃♀️ 🏃♂️ They practiced different types of relays - running, walking and skipping. And finally, they practiced their long jumps from standing and long jumps from approach! Well done Third and Fourth Class.

Engineering Week - Third and Fourth Class
As part of Engineering Week the children in Third and Fourth Class watched a video called "Engineering in Our Lives" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l24ehY0uGw
The children watched this video and then completed the accompanying worksheet. They had to solve an engineering riddle, the picked out three things from the video designed by engineers that we use every day, they chose three more examples of how engineers help us in our every day lives and finally they had to pick something from the video that they could change it to make it better. We discovered today that a lot of things that we use today are made by engineers.
The children also watched two episodes on "Mission Impossible" from the STEPS Primary Resources page. The first video was called "Astronaut training in zero gravity" where a pilot shows how real astronauts experience weightlessness in space. A scuba diving expert teaches us how to get scuba-certified. An astrophysicist takes us far, far, away, in her explanation of exoplanet detection. A reliability engineer working at a major oil company explains why safety is always a priority at her job. The second was called "Saving the bees" where we found out how we can help save the bees. A scientist explains the importance of bees to our crops and food supply. Also in this episode, An agricultural tech is showing how the latest technology is being used to improve agriculture. A researcher dives into the ocean to survey the giant sea bass population off the coast of California. A mechanical engineer teaches you how to make a battery with a lemon.
As Thursday, 10th March 2022 was Alexander Graham Bell Day we looked at his life, how he invented the telephone and other inventions he is connected with. https://www.coolkidfacts.com/alexander-graham-bell-facts/
On Friday, all the children in Third ad Fourth Class became engineers and they made their own pinwheels.
Well done Third and Fourth Class!

Farm Safe Schools
Third and Fourth Class finished all their work today on the Farm Safe Schools Programme. They have worked extremely hard and have learnt a lot during this programme about how to be safe on farms. Mrs Crosby is so proud of them! Mrs Crosby has submitted all their hard work this evening to Agri Aware for it to be judged to see what level of Farm Safe School Award we will receive (Farm Safe School, Farm Safe Star School or Farm Safe Superstar School). Third and Fourth Class and Mrs Crosby are hoping for the Superstar School Award after all our hard work on the modules over the last few months. Why not click on the links and see all the work that Third and Fourth have been doing on farm safety. Well done again Third and Fourth Class 👏👏🎉🎉
