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

10 By 10 Celebration Event – School Council

4 members of our school council took part in a celebration event for the first anniversary of the Telford 10 by 10 scheme. This scheme encourages children to have a go at 10 specified activities by the age of 10. These range from over night visits to debating, visiting a library and learning to swim. The celebration event was a fantastic opportunity to see children from our local schools singing and show casing their dancing. We were also lucky enough to have talks from various members of the council including the director of education, Simon Wellman. Once again, the pupils from Apley were fantastic at the event and represented our school brilliantly. Well done Aaron, Alexandra and Sophia in year 4 and Efosa in year 3.

 

Magnetic materials

Today as part of our science lesson we headed out into the sunshine to see which materials were magnetic and which weren’t. We then classified these objects to make a conclusion.
