Year 3 and Year 4 - DT Workshop
Years 3 and 4 learned all about engineering bridge designs this week in a hands on workshop delivered by Satro. Children used kNex to bring bridge building principles to life. The workshops were excellent and the children were really pleased with their successful designs as you can see!
Science at St George's School
On Tuesday 25th June, year 3 visited St George's to participate in 3 fun and exciting workshops.
In one workshop we tested the density of sugar in water and food colouring. We layered 4 different coloured liquids with various densities in a test tube, in order of the most amount of density to the least. We then made a boat out of plasticine and tried to make it float. The boats with the largest surface areas and higher walls were the most successful.
In another workshop we tested for alkaline and acidity of red cabbage juice, using colour indicators. The pinker, the more acidic, the bluer, the more alkaline.
In the final workshop, we attracted a paperclip to a magnet and tried to make the paperclip float - this was really tricky. We also turned a nail into an electromagnet.
The afternoon finished with a picnic lunch and a delicious cookie and squash treat. We all had an amazing time.
Maths Competition - St Mary's School
Two teams of Year 5 children went to St Mary's School this week to take part in a Maths competition. Our teams got stuck in and did very well coming 2nd and 3rd only behind a year 6 team. Well done to our teams!
Junior Musical Festival 2024
Our choir was selected to perform at the Reading Hexagon Theatre on Thursday 27th June. We sang 14 songs! We had a dress rehearsal before the real thing in which we realised the theatre was actually a hexagon! We did so well we got a standing ovation at the end!
We would like to give a special thank you to Miss Wallbanks for teaching us and Mrs Barnes and of course all the parents for coming to watch!

What a scorcher!
On Wednesday after school a team of Year 5s competed in a Rounders competition at Charters. They played three matches, winning two and drawing one before it was called off due to the heat! Thank you to all those who attended and played so well – Mrs Tomes said you were a pleasure to take!
