Year 6 Science Oxford Vacuum Workshop - Friday 26th September. Today, your children had an awesome time taking part in an exciting engineering challenge. We became electrical engineers and designed, made and tested suitable equipment to create a cleaning device to 'suck' up all the confetti mess after a class party! We made motors work, designed and created swicthes and then created and tested a variety of fan blades. Everyone manged to make their motor switch and fan work, some people even made a blowing and sucking device which was fantastic! Please enjoy looking at our pictures and asking your child what they learnt about engineering and how they would improve their design next time!
Year 6 Visit to Junior Citizen took place on Friday 19th September. During their two hour visit all of our children experienced eight different safety scenarios including, stranger danger, internet safety, cycle safety, railway safety, water rescue, house fires, accident and emergency in the home, electrical safety. Each child was given the opportunity to practice making a 999 telephone call - which despite being nervous, they managed brilliantly! . All learning sessions are designed to be interactive, where children are taught a variety of life skills which focus upon how to keep themselves safe whilst potentially helping others who may be in difficulty or distress. Based on the controlled learning experiences provided, children are encouraged to make decisions which they may face during a real life emergency. Following attendance, each of our children receives a free work book to allow the learning experience to continue back at school or at home, so please do spend some time looking at this with your child. All of the children showed the 3Rs throughout the visit and were a credit to the school!
