This year’s British Science Week at EGPS was a resounding success, centred around the theme ‘Change and Adapt’. Our students engaged in a myriad of live lessons, scientific investigations, and activities designed to explore these important concepts. In Year 1, children participated in a live lesson focused on farming, followed by an exploration of the school grounds, assessing how hedgerows
This group of Year 5s has begun to ready our allotment area at school. We have turned over the soil and prepared many pots for seeds to grow. We’re hoping to plant vegetables very soon since springtime is now upon us.
Our Year 5s have been using their photography skills this week to produce some fantastic black and white photos. We have been exploring line, light and shadows this term in art and this has added another skill we can use to produce creative and thought-provoking artwork. Our next task is to pick one of our pictures to recreate using various
This week, we played a fun game in the learning hub as a way to reinforce our knowledge of multiplying fractions or mixed numbers to integers. We would construct our own questions from a selection of all the integers, mixed numbers and fractions we could think of.
The year 5 children were very helpful in rehoming a few of our more established saplings that we planted in raised beds last year. We positioned them on the far end of our field, where we hope they will grow into larger trees alongside the others nearby.
Last Friday, 31st January, some of our choir children set off for an unforgettable day at the BP Pulse Live arena. Our adventure began at 12pm when we tucked into our lunch, buzzing with anticipation for the coach journey ahead. We arrived at the venue with plenty of time to spare, settling into our seats towards the back left of
To help cement our understanding of formal written methods of multiplication, the children have been engaging in several fun and interactive activities that allow them to share their knowledge and support each other. They really enjoying trying to reach the end of ‘The Gauntlet’ and we saw great improvement in their resilience throughout these tasks.
8 children of our KS1 children were able to take part in an annual science workshop run by the science coordinators from across 4 of our partnership schools. Each school ran a small science workshop to teach children about different areas of science. There were rocket mice, bubble art, thaumatropes and static electricity sessions. The science ambassadors from year 6
