Growing, learning, creating, problem-solving, collaborating, smiling...a peek at what Maple Class have been up to at Stakesby Primary Academy.

@Nicky32135279 @StakesbyAcademy @Nicky32135279 Theo requested extra drills today 🤣. I had to shake my desk and and shout earthquake at random times so they could practice! Try it at home but tell him bed is the 'safe place'.

EARTHQUAKE! Maple Class @StakesbyAcademy created their own earthquake satety drill today as part of our geography topic. Watch this space as they attempt earthquake-proof construction tomorrow...

Experimenting with earthquake-proof structures. We discovered that wide-based buildings consisting of triangles were the most successful (And marshmallows taste good but do not make for ideal joints!) @StakesbyAcademy

Absolutely loved watching the children's reactions as they created their own volcanic eruptions this afternoon...apologies to anyone in a 100m radius for all the shrieking 🌋 🤯🙉 @StakesbyAcademy

Inspired by 'Escape From Pompeii' by @ChristinaBalit we created our own 'Earthquake' performance poetry in small groups. Here are a few snippets! (1/4) @StakesbyAcademy

Year 3/4 @StakesbyAcademy throughly enjoyed taking part in Tri Golf @CC_Whitby this afternoon. Thanks to all involved! @MissSavilleSPA

[Stakesby Academy Year 3 @3Stakesby]

We have enjoyed dissecting flowers today and investigating each part. Hopefully there aren't too many pollen-stained fingers!

[Stakesby Academy Year 3 @3Stakesby]

Fantastic! Well done to our year 3/4 team 👏👏👏

[Stakesby School @StakesbyAcademy]

Displaying startling sportsmanship and a huge team spirit, our Y3/4 team are worthy winners of today's Cricket Festival at Mulgrave Sports Facility. Well done boys! A huge thank you to Mr Hopper @PE_CCW and the Sports Leaders from @EskdaleSchoolPE.

Our last #LEGO club @StakesbyAcademy today and lots of children keen to show off this week's creations. I wonder where I will find them hidden this week (the children don't like to break them up!).

[Stakesby School @StakesbyAcademy]

Great to see lots of ex @StakesbyAcademy pupils as Sports Leaders at @CC_Whitby today leading a fantastic afternoon for @MissSavilleSPA year 4 and @3Stakesby year 3 at Quad Kids. Thanks to @PE_CCW for a wonderfully organised afternoon. We walked some very tired children home!

Some of the fruits of yesterday's labour are now brightening up Maple Class. Descriptive writing meets art meets science. #powerofreading @StakesbyAcademy @clpe1

[Stakesby Academy Year 3 @3Stakesby]

A productive afternoon - some of us combined our #powerofreading text and our 'light' science topic to create circus silhouette art, while others chose to type up a presentation copy of their circus act descriptive writing. @StakesbyAcademy @clpe1

[Stakesby Academy Year 3 @3Stakesby]

We are writing a new page for our #powerofreading text and the children's ideas have been coming in 'fast and furious'. I'm loving their enthusiasm for new vocabulary. @StakesbyAcademy @clpe1

[Stakesby Academy Year 3 @3Stakesby]

Today we used concrete manipulatives (or 'stuff' as the children would say) as a first step to calculating fractions of amounts. @StakesbyAcademy

Lots of imagination, creativity (and a little bit of magic) went into our #powerofreading 'Readers' Theatre' today.@StakesbyAcademy @clpe1

[Stakesby Academy Year 3 @3Stakesby]

Scientific enquiry in year 3 this afternoon. Which material is the most reflective? Some great thinking about how to create a fair test. @StakesbyAcademy
