Inspired by Henri Matisse, we also started to ‘draw with scissors’. To get us started on our project, we played around with creating different shapes, layering and used a variety of contrasting and complimentary colours #art #creative #primaryschool

Year 4 learnt about earthquakes and the devastating effects they can have. In response to this, they constructed an earthquake proof structure. Which structure will withstand the most extreme shaking? #STEAM #Engineering

During our STEAM house event, year 2 competed in their house teams to make a boat which could float, keep out the water and hold a weight of 25 cubes. Great engineering skills 👏🏼 #STEAM #Engineering

Having started our new topic: Evolve and Grow, we learnt about DNA and how they are the building blocks for living things. We made DNA bracelets of different species 🧬 #science #evolution #education

Year 6 have been designing and making WWII themed escape rooms to end our topic. Using their design brief, they have included puzzles, codes, riddles, simple mechanisms, locks and electrical circuits. #escaperoom #STEAM #PBL #project

Our project walls have been in full use this week for #PBL week. We started the week with a driving question and have been working as a team to create companies, help the community as well as design and make products #projectbasedlearning #drivingquestion #Project

Our programmers in year 6 have created an algorithm to turn our micro:bits into step counters. Whilst counting our steps, we’ve also included motivational messages to appear whilst we walk through the day. 🚶‍♂️💻 #programming @microbit_edu

Year 4 focused on how we hear sound. We learnt about the journey of sound through our ears. To show our understanding, we acted out the journey and then answered lots of questions! 👂 #BSW2024 #BSW

Our physic experts in year 3 were finding the difference between balanced and unbalanced forces. As we can’t see the forces, we drew arrows to show which way the forces were acting in the pictures #physics #BSW2024

Our scientists in year 6 have been exploring refraction and reflection. We learnt how a rainbow is formed and looked at different ways light can bend #BSW #BSW24 #Scienceweek
