Thank you to everyone for their support...we raised a magnificent £322.85!! Great work. | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

The children have done lots of experiments such as making a paper boat which can hold 100g, creating balloon powered cars with wheels and axels and creating paper planes as an enterprise project. We have absolutely loved it! Well done Year 2. |
July 2019 - Year 5 Creative WeekYear 5 have been working as Humanitarian Engineers for Creative Week this year. As well as learning more about the impact of Global Warming and Climate Change, the class have been working to find out how engineers can help reduce some of the devastating effects for both people and the planet. Part of their work this week has included designing houses which will be able to withstand flooding through testing materials and designing their own wind turbines to see how energy is created. | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Well done to everyone for their amazing teamwork and for their effort during the morning. For the team part of our sports day, the results were: Lindsey 1827pts (4th); Scott 1871pts (3rd); Syddall 1905pts (2nd) and Booth 2059pts (1st). Great work and thank you to everyone who was able to make it today to support. |
July 2019 - Creative Week Year 6In Year 6, we have been focussing on an area of STEM based around the topic of ‘Polar Exploration’. First we did some research and learnt about the life of Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, the first British Polar Explorer. Although we found out that Shackleton never actually achieved his dreams of reaching the South Pole, we did learn that he was a determined and resilient leader in the face of extremely challenging conditions and we all agreed that he definitely earnt his nominated title of the '11th Best Briton' in a BBC poll! The children wrote some wonderful biographies in his memory. | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

We have drawn the solar system, designed our own planet, learnt all about astronauts and other STEM careers and then chosen our favourite STEM career. We made our own rockets in teams and experimented with their designs! We have had a lot of fun! |
July 2019 - Creative Week Year 3For Creative Week, Year 3 have been working in groups to design and build a flood proof house. We began the week by thinking about the effects on a community when flooding disasters happen. We wrote prayers to people around the world effected by flooding. Next, we thought about how we could help these people. We tested materials for strength and water resistance. We designed and made our houses before recreating the big food with a watering can and tray of water. Not all of our houses survived but we reflected on how we could improve our designs next time. We showed great teamwork all week. | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | July 2019 - Creative Week Year 1Our year 1s have been having a great Creative Week so far with our focus this year on STEM but especially engineering. They have made a boat out of play dough and have been experimenting to see what happens if they changed shape/weight and if it would sink or float. They have also researched arctic animals and made an arctic animal mobile with facts. Then they looked at what arctic explorers eat and made an arctic explorer flap jack. They have then done an experiment called 'blubber gloves', filling a rubber glove with lard and then put both hands in the water to see which one stayed warm the longest! What a great week! |
July 2019 - FS @ Thorp Perrow!Our Foundation Stage had a wonderful day on their visit to Thorp Perrow. It was great fun and everyone had a fab time! | ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

We took part in an activity workshop, a cooking demonstration, planting for a school garden and looking at how to use pupil voice. It was really useful for us moving in to next year. We also had an epic game of 'Who can stay quietest the longest?' in the car on the way back which lasted from Harrogate to Catterick Village! Well done guys! |
July 2019 - School Games GOLD!For the second year in a row, we are delighted to announce that we have been awarded the Gold School Games Mark.
