Live, laugh and log!
Out in the idyllic South Yorkshire sunshine, our year six wood workers were grafting hard on Friday morning to sand down their wooden frames.

An Eggcellent Eggsperiment!
Today with Easter looming, 4TE were given a challenge… In small teams could they create a protective casing fit with parachute to protect an egg from mighty drop? The teams did a fantastic job working together to conjure up such incredible and fantastic creations as you can see! Overall, we had 3 eggs suffer crackings and 4 which successfully survived the drop! It was a great bit of fun and developed our teamworking skills and a good time was had by all!
Case Study 3 – Music
3HJ have thoroughly embraced our third and final case study. This week has seen us stacking ostinato, reading rhythms and playing them simultaneously using non-tuned percussion.
Who? With what? And where?
Maths lessons are far more enjoyable when they include a murder mystery! This week, y5 put their investigative skills to the test to solve the mystery of who murdered the young millionaire, Henry Baskerville, following a dinner party at Baskerville Hall. Our young detectives had to calculate the perimeter of all the rooms in the hall in order to generate an 8-digit code, which opened the padlocked journal of the murderer. Who needs Sherlock Holmes with y5 on the case!
The ‘XP Studios’ Sessions!
This week, Years 3 and 4 finally embarked down to XP in Doncaster to record our part of the song ‘Dear World’ which has been written by all of the different schools across the trust. Everyone got the chance to experience what it takes to record a real song and got a behind the scenes look into a recording studio to see the magic that goes into creating our favourite hits. For our future smash hit, we pushed ourselves and now our hard work is done, we shall be able to revel in the fruits of our labour in the future when the song is fully produced and ready to be released. Until then, we shall wait with great anticipation!
Recording our charity single
Yesterday, LKS2 visited XP to record our verses of our beautiful and thought provoking charity single. As well as smashing the vocals we also had a tour of a professional recording studio. We had chance to look at the equipment needed to produce a song and even tried out some of the musical instruments too! Safe to say we need a little more practice before creating our own music!
Creative Climate Change Champions!
Today, 4TE have been extremely creative making posters about climate change! We had a great time putting all of our knowledge of how we can help save our planet into some creative pieces of work, some lovely creations from everyone!
Dear World…!
What an exciting day it has been today in preparation for another exciting day next week! Next week years 3 and 4 will be travelling off to a professional recording studio to lay down our track!
