Building on yesterday's knowledge of electrical circuits, Year 5 created their own doodlers. 

The creating of the doodlers created several issues where the class had to use their problem solving skills to make sure the doodler moved across the paper.

Fantastic team work Year 5!

In Design and Technology today, Year 5 explored the world of electrical circuits. We built our own circuits with a motor. We will use our knowledge from today for our next D&T session where we will create our own doodlers.

Year 5 had an exciting science lesson today! They created model alloys using Play-Doh as the base material. By adding different additives like sand and salt, they explored how these changes affected the properties of their “alloys.” It was a hands-on experiment that helped them understand the…

Yesterday after school, KS2 held their Autumn disco. There were lots of fantastic dance moves on show!
We hope you all had fun!

Prizes!  Find out about our ‘Take a Chance’ initiative to celebrate and reward our pupils for their hard work and dedication.

How It Works:

• Earning ‘Take a Chance’ Slips: Throughout the week, children can earn ‘Take a Chance’ slips from their class teachers. These slips are awarded for…

This afternoon in science, Year 5 had quite the tasty experiment whilst looking at the difference in physical qualities of chocolate before and after having heat applied. We heated the chocolate up in our mouths and hands.

We also compared room temperature chocolate to frozen chocolate.

Well…

Today in Year 5's computing session, we explored the use of Boolean Operators when using search engines, such as Google, Yahoo and Bing.

We also looked at how search results differ from Google,Yahoo and Bing.

Today in science Year 5 explored what would happen when white vinegar and baking soda react to each other.

We noticed that when there was a chemical reaction between the two a gas, carbon dioxide, was created which filled the bag. We hoped for the bags to explode, but as the bags were too…

In this afternoon's music lesson, Year 5 delved into the Blues genre of music. We learnt where it originated from and talked about the genre's themes.

We then listened to Moanin' Lisa Blues - YouTube and discussed what was being sang by Lisa Simpson.

Well done Year…

Well done to Year 5 who helped Year 1 on their circuit session in PE today. 

Well done to the Year 3 pupils and friends who performed so fantastically at the Civic Hall as the new Mayor Of Ellesmere Port took office.  We were very honoured to be present at the ceremony as our Chair of Governors, Councillor Donovan, was sworn in as the new Mayor.  You were all fantastic in…

This morning, Year 5 had an exciting lesson in Maths! The class were tasked with finding angles on their tables covered in tape. 

Year 5 had to find the angle and label whether it was acute, right, a straight line obtuse, or reflex.

The children really enjoyed finding the angles (and drawing…
