Reception were very lucky to have a STEM session with Engineering for Kids. They learnt what a windsock is for, how it works and then they made their own. We took them to the playground so they could test them. What a brilliant experience!

Our recent Science Day was a fantastic celebration of curiosity, creativity and all things scientific. The day featured impressive science-themed costumes, thrilling experiments, and an unforgettable science show that had students buzzing with enthusiasm.
A major highlight was the thrilling science show hosted by The Royal Society, titled "Explosive Food!" This dynamic performance showcased fascinating experiments involving everyday food items. Children were captivated by jaw-dropping demonstrations.
Throughout the day, classrooms turned into mini-labs where children took part in hands-on experiments. These interactive sessions encouraged students to think critically, ask questions, and explore science in a fun and engaging way.
To finish the day, we invited families to join us for a special Community Show. With dramatic launches and powerful demonstrations, it was a brilliant way to bring everyone together and end the day with a bang - quite literally!
The day was a wonderful mix of learning and fun, leaving everyone inspired and more curious than ever about the world of science.
Egyptian Day
Junipers and Rowans classes had a fantastic Egyptian Day this week immersing themselves in the ancient past. The children travelled back to the time of Pharaoh Akhenaten where they were tasked with helping to prepare the new temple for the Pharaoh. Throughout the morning, the children learnt the skills needed to prepare bodies for the afterlife. They learnt how to make mummies, protection amulets, write their names using hieroglyphics, create tomb art, make bread, make model slaves and more! In the afternoon, the children put on a feast to welcome the Pharaoh to his new temple. The children put on performances of ancient stories including the story of the gods Osiris and Isis and the wax crocodile fable. Throughout the day they even caught temple thieves, stopped a murder plot against the Pharaoh and told the future with a storytelling bull. The children thoroughly enjoyed exploring the past and developing their knowledge and skills.
We had a lovely time dressing up and doing different activities for World Book Day!
