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
We had a busy week with lots of fun learning. In maths, we compared capacity and volume using rice to check our predictions. In art, we explored shape, form and texture using flowers, clay and play dough. On Comic Relief Day, we enjoyed more fun practical activities!
This week, we have been looking at how to measure mass in maths. We have learnt that mass is measured in grams (g) and kilograms (kg). Here, we are comparing the mass of different classroom objects using balancing scales.
At EGPS, we like to encourage the children to be as active as possible. On Friday, we took part in an FA run event ‘The Biggest Ever Girls Football Session.’ Girls from year one to year six enjoyed an hour of football on the field. We would like to say a big thank you to our past pupil, Lexie, who
This week we have explored our art topic ‘Still Life’ further. We sketched object from different angles, then made our own still life sculptures using clay and special tools to add some texture.
In maths this week we have been learning how to calculate change. We set up our own shop and worked in partners (one being the customer and the other being the shopkeeper), and calculated change from £1.
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
In Maths this week, we learned about the different coins and notes we use. We practised adding different types of coins and notes together to see how much money each teacher had.
We mixed primary colours to make secondary colours. We then used the paints to complete different composition templates. Here is how they turned out!
