Investigating gravity in MI

11th October 2022Stacey McClare

Today we looked at a Newton meter and measured the force acting on different objects. We worked collaboratively to do this and used the scale to read the amount of newtons.

Using our knowledge so far we then thought about what we could do to test gravity. This became our aim. This was what we wanted to find out. We then thought about what a hypothesis was and its purpose. We thought about how this would help our investigation. We then wrote our own hypothesis.

From here we took part in the investigation testing out our aim and hypothesis. You can see us in action below… We were all shocked by what we found out!

Exploring types of forces in MI

10th October 2022Stacey McClare

Today we started to explore and discuss forces in our expedition lessons. We watched a variety of different clips to understand what a force is and the different types. We then became active and showed both gravity and friction in different ways. We then used the knowledge we had gained to create our own anchor chart for our working wall on the different types of forces. We showed great collaborative working and supported our partner well.

Crew Ferguson Autumn scavenger hunt!

7th October 2022Toni Ferguson

The children in nursery today were set a challenge to collect and see lots of objects linking to Autumn. We worked as a crew to collect leaves, twigs, conkers and feathers. We saw puddles, wriggly worms and even spiders webs! We had to be be kind to the animals and our woodland environment. The children loved exploring and wanted to bring everything they could see back inside to explore further.

Year 3-6 football tournament! ⚽️

5th October 2022Simon Gerrard

What a great afternoon, Years 3 to 6 have had at Campsmount for the football tournament. The boys gave their all in pretty poor weather and we didn’t let the wet weather dampen our spirits! Even though they did not get the results they wanted, the boys were fantastic. Their effort and humility was fantastic to see. After each game, they shook hands with their competitors and did not complain. You guys did myself and Mrs Rhodes proud. More importantly, you represented the school brilliantly. Keep going and you will continue to improve and get even better!

There were so many of our boys playing football for the first time today and they gave it their all. Seeing their enjoyment and happy smiles at the end was completely worth it. The fact that they enjoyed playing this wonderful game is amazing to see!

It was incredibly tricky to choose a player of the tournament for both the 3/4 and 5/6 teams. These were, Tommy M (Year 5) and Charlie S (Year 3). Both boys were impressive in the net and pulled off some fantastic saves. Our most improved players were Kaylum (Year 5) and Thomas O (Year 4). It was incredibly difficult to pick because of the fantastic displays throughout.

Check through our photos for the team spirit:

Keep an eye out for more tournament/competition updates and celebrations! 😆⚽️
