Class 3 had a very interesting lesson on Internet Safety, led by our school Digital Leaders. We discussed the different ways that we use the internet and learnt about lots of different ways to stay safe online. These included: not talking to strangers, not giving out personal information and always ask permission to use certain online games or apps. We now also know the importance of asking adults or our Digital Leaders if we are Read more…
In Class 11, we focused on social media for our Internet Safety Day. We discussed the age limits for certain apps and many children were shocked to learn some apps such as Instagram have an age restriction of 13! We created our own ‘Do’s and Dont’s Class Agreement’ involving how to act sensibly and safety online. We also discussed ideas on how to limit screen time and the negative effects this can have on our Read more…

Yesterday, Class 9 went to visit St Luke’s church to consolidate their learning about Christianity. They met Maureen, a retired vicar, who explained to them what happened in the church and the key beliefs of Christianity.

The children needed to guess a part of the overall answer and continually check if the outcome fitted the conditions of the problem. Lloyd was the first to completely solve the problem. Well done Lloyd!
In Class 11, we became TV news presenters for the BBC! Each group used their knowledge of one of Henry VIII’s six wives to create dramatic, real life scripts both in the studio and at locations (such as the Church of England). We focused on presenting voices, detailed scripts and exciting facts! Have a look at the QR codes in our books if you want to watch our videos!
Last week, we conducted an experiment into the best shape for a parachute. The criteria was that the parachute must have the most air resistance. We first created a hypothesis for which shape would be most effective to safely deliver buzz light year to the ground and why. We dropped each parachute from the same height and timed how long it took to reach the ground. The parachute with the slowest time was the safest Read more…
