3M take a trip back in time whilst discovering light!, by Mr Murray

Date: 9th Nov 2017 @ 2:19pm

Hi all,

During our recent trip to MoSI in Manchester, we learned so much! The class were excellent and demonstrated impeccable behaviour and manners throughout!

We had a workshop about light where we were taught about the properties of it. We learned what light was made of and how it travels. The children were active in discussion and showed a great interest.

We also had a demonstration of different engines. Here was a nice opportunity for them to see how technology has advanced over time and our museum guides get the children asking many questions.

Finally, some free time allowed the children to explore an experiment in the lab zone. They were exploring different scientific principles and all looked to have a great time. They could tell me all sorts about what they had learned and experienced.

I would like to thank Mrs Green, Mrs Baleem, Mrs Asghar and Mrs Murray for supporting Mrs Gill and myself. The trip could not have gone so smoothly.

Thank you for all of your support.

Mr Murray

3M Go Green!!!, by Mr Murray

Date: 9th Nov 2017 @ 2:09pm

Good afternoon,

Part of our science topic required us to understand where soil comes from. Something which we all take for granted as we can find it in vast supply around.

We thought it would be a good idea to make our own soil!

We showed how you can take organic material, rock and worms and create your very own compost.

Enjoy

Mr Murray

For science week we were given the challenge to help the Pirates!

We were challenged with making a boat which would float to help the pirates get back to their ship. We were provided with different materials and had to decide which would be the best for the boat. Finallly, we tested out our boats to see if they would float!

All groups were successful in creating boats which would float so the pirates were able to get back to their ship!

Remembrance Day 2016, by Mr Whelan

Date: 11th Nov 2016 @ 11:43am

On 11th November at 11am we held a Remembrance Assembly so we could remember all those who have died, especially in wars. The Year 6 children had made poppy wreaths and we all listened to some poems, prayed and had a two minute silence.

We were very lucky to have Mr Murray lead our 2 minute silence by playing the 'Last Post' on the cornet. The "Last Post" is a cavalry trumpet call used in military funerals and ceremonies commemorating those who have been killed in war. He then finished the two minute silence by playing 'Reveille'. The two tunes symbolise sunset and sunrise respectively, and therefore, death and resurrection. Thank you Mr Murray!
