This week in Science Week for Year 4 and 5. This afternoon we did some scientific play to help us explain how sounds are made and how we hear things. 

The children have really worked hard making their underwater prints.  They drew the design, transferred it to a foam tile, before adding paint and making a print.  It was quite a challenge to get the right amount of paint but everyone enjoyed having a go and we made lots of prints.  We tried out…

We have been using software on the computer to learn about algorithms.  We created instructions to navigate the fish through the maze and chose the right commands to create different shapes.  We used the iPad to try some challenges that would test how good we were at creating simple algorithms to…

This week, we have been writing a picture poem about our journey to Antarctica in the role of one of Ernest Shakleton's crew. Today, we have started designing and creating an ice background for our poetry. We can't wait to show you the finished piece!

WOW! What a fantastic day we have had.  We saw all kinds of amazing sea creatures and learned lots about how important it is to look after the oceans and keep all the different creatures safe and healthy.  We loved seeing the very clever seals doing their tricks, we spotted clown fish, puffa fish,…

Well done to all of the children on receiving their certificates for Carlton Adventure! It's lovely to see how proud you all are of your achievements and we are too. What a fantastic day!

We had a fantastic day building teamwork skills, resilience and perseverance. We took part in a variety of events, orienteering, climbing, gully walking and shelter building.

We have been learning that computers and lots of other devices are controlled by algorithms. An algorithm is a set of very specific instructions that make things work in a particular way.  We practised giving bee bot the right commands to get him to travel to different places on the map.
