STEAM Week Reminder – Dress up Monday 26th June

STEAM Week: Week Beginning Monday 26th June

Dear Parent/Carers,

This year, during our STEAM Week (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Maths), our whole school topic will be ‘Connections’. We have some exciting activities, ‘hands on’ experiments and investigations and music, art and design activities planned as part of this week. We will be looking at some famous inventors and scientists, the amazing things that they created and discovered, and the impact they have had on the world as well as having the opportunity to go on a learning journey ourselves. All children will have the opportunity to show their creativity, engineering and scientific learning throughout the week so please look out for uploads onto our website and twitter pages.

During the week, the children will be learning about all the careers linked to STEAM. On Monday 26th June, to begin our STEAM Week, all children are invited to come into school in any costumes linked to our theme. This may include dressing up as a famous inventor, scientist, discoverer, artist or musician. We hope that lots of children will take part in this opportunity to celebrate and discuss the range of careers linked to these subjects within school.

Many thanks for your continued support,

Miss Helen Gilbert
Science Coordinator

Sewing Fun – 19.06.2023

Base 3 have really enjoyed sewing their puppets this morning. The children really enjoyed it and are now ready to start decorating their puppets to give the animals their features.

Computing with Mr G – 19.06.2023

Another fantastic afternoon with Mr Gerrie this afternoon. We have continued to build on our Scratch Jr. projects. Everyone blew us away with their resilience and problem solving skills. It was also great to hear the children using computing vocabulary to explain to one another, what they were doing.
