Virtual reality , by Mrs Fletcher

Today KS 2 all took part in a virtual reality session to learn about the trenches of World War 1. The Bongos loved every minute of their session. They learnt so much and have spent the rest of the day using their new knowledge in Art, history and English. As a treat at the end of the day we listened to some Michael Rosen poems .

Ninja Warrior UK , by Mrs Catterall
Date: 13th Jul 2018 @ 6:59am
WOW what an experience!
We had a fantastic day meeting Jonny and Wendy from Ninja Warrior UK. They spoke with us this morning about following our dreams, not giving up, being determined, trying hard. They then put us throguh our paces on an obstacle course set up in the hall. After that, we had to try and complete the rope challenge. Swinging from one rope to another without our feet touching the floor. It wasn't as easy as it looked. Our amazing gymnast Jemima succeeded and she got to have a special photo taken with Jonny.
Here are a few photos of us in action. (they are a bit blurry, but we were moving so fast)

On Monday we had a lovely afternoon outside looking at our entry to commemorate the end of WW1. Thankyou to all the year 3 helpers who poured drinks, cut up strawberries, buttered scones and served our visitors and the rest of the school. You were amazing. I have no photos of the afternoon as I was busy in the kitchen, but in case you haven't seen it here are some photos of the amazing display, a real team effort.

Ancient Time Pieces, by Miss Reynolds
Date: 10th Jul 2018 @ 8:27am
Hello!
This week we are going to be looking at ancient civilizations and exploring them through their time pieces. The children will be researching different means of keeping track of time and will be trying to create their own versions using the basic scientific principles behind the device.
However, the children are creating their own investigations. They are to create the best conditions for their time piece and it should be able to keep an minute, 10 minutes, half an hour or an hour. They will be creating a fair test to ensure that their time piece is roughly accurate within 10% margins of error. The children are creating these time pieces almost entirely independently and will be sourcing the materials themselves - this is where we may need your help!
If we have stuff in school, it is not a problem, but I envisage some children may want other resources. I will be telling them that they are only to use stuff lying around the house, maybe using bottles from recycling, or bits of cardboard... please don't feel compelled to go out and buy a whole variety of resources!
Just thought I would give you a heads up if they come home scavenging the bins for boxes or tins!
