Science Day in Reception

This week we held a whole school science day. Reception’s focus was forces. They were investigating magnets, floating and sinking, rolling, spinning and floating. It was a fabulous day and the children came away with lots of new learning.

Coding experts in Year Five

We’ve had a super time in our recent computing lessons as we’ve got to grips with micro-controllers. The children have excelled with applying code to crumbles which led to sparkles and motors performing certain tasks. Those who have been most confident have also started to debug algorithms.
