Year 5 PE - Athletics: Shot Put
Year 5 Channel Their Inner Olympians in Athletics! This week, Year 5 took to the school playground for a fantastic Athletics session, turning their focus to the power and technique of the shot put. The children worked hard on mastering their throwing stance, learning how to safely "push" the shot put from their shoulder rather than throwing it like a ball. It was wonderful to see their determination as they focused on their aiming points and pushed for maximum distance. The class did incredibly well, showing fantastic technique and sportsmanship throughout the lesson. Watch out, Team GB—we might just have some future Olympic champions in our midst!
Year 5 Science - Investigating Asteroid Craters
Our Year 5 scientists have blasted off into an exciting new physics topic this week, exploring the secrets of our solar system. The children began by examining different celestial bodies, discussing the phases of the Moon, and discovering how a massive asteroid collision millions of years ago brought about the end of the dinosaurs. This sparked a big question for our main science investigation: Does the size of an asteroid affect the diameter of its impact crater? To put this to the test, the class worked brilliantly in teams to plan a fair test. They identified their variables and designed their own data tables to record their future findings. The children raided the PE cupboard to use different-sized sports balls as their "asteroids." They dropped these into trays of sand to measure and observe the deep craters left behind. What do you predict our results will show—will a larger asteroid always make a wider crater?
Year 3 - PSHE - Learning First Aid For Asthma Attacks and Choking
Today, our Year 3 class took part in an invaluable life skills session focused on first aid. After watching an educational video from the British Red Cross, the children put their learning into practice. They learned how to spot the signs of someone having an asthma attack and the exact steps to take to help them use their inhaler. The class also practised the vital techniques needed to assist someone who is choking, including how to deliver effective back blows . We are incredibly proud of how maturely the children approached these sensitive topics. They showed fantastic listening skills and now feel much more confident about how to stay calm and help in an emergency. Well done, Year 3!
