Papplewick Pumping Station
Mon 27 Mar 2023On Friday 17th March, Year 6 explored connections through delving into how technology has advanced between different historical periods of time. Visitors from Papplewick Pumping Station provided a full-day workshop which was filled with scientific connections through periods of time. This exploration was around the engineering of pumping clean water throughout communities and the science behind how this developed through time. Children completed various activities throughout the day which included: labelling, describing and acting out the pumping system; investigating how to make their own working pump; and recognising how the developments have impacted people's daily lives. However, children also linked this science learning with aspects of Learning for Life as we recognised that, even in 2023, not all children / families have access to clean water.

RED NOSE DAY
Tue 21 Mar 2023It was brilliant to see all the effort that the children (& staff) went to on Friday dressing in red, wearing crazy hair or anything dance related – for some it was all 3 of these!

Mental Heath Team visit
Mon 13 Mar 2023On Wednesday year 6 had a visit from the Mental Health Team who came in to discuss strategies to deal with anxiety that the children may be facing with the upcoming SATs and transition to secondary school. The children came up with a variety of strategies themselves and the team were very impressed how prepared and ready all the children were. They asked children for their own personal 'calming-down' strategies and the images show all the ones the children came up with - a very inspiring list
