Year 4 Scientific Endeavours!

13th March 2025Thomas Edwards

This week, Year 4 have been undertaking many scientific endeavours, some of which are pictured below. Firstly, we have been making circuits and experimenting with different items, seeing which may be conductors and insulators. We have also had scientific engineering challenges such as could the children create a bridge using only ArtStraws/Lollipop Sticks and could the children create a parachute and protective shell to protect an egg cracking from a height. Finally, the children have also ran a science fayre which children from the Infants school took part in. The best part of this specific event, was seeing how brilliantly the Year 4 children interacted with the younger children and how they were so kind and helpful towards them!

Science Week in Year 3!

13th March 2025Samantha Good

One of our experiments this week to celebrate Science Week was to make lava lamps! It was so easy and we all loved watching the bubbles fizz. It’s super easy to do at home too, all you need is water, cooking oil, food colouring and an effervescent tablet! The children were fascinated watching the water separate from the oil and the carbonated water move into the oil.

Science Week

13th March 2025Helen Jenkins

Year 5 spent the morning investigating “How does exercise affect our heart rate?” The children created their own investigations to answer the question making predictions and creating a fair test. Despite the intermittent rain, 5HJ enjoyed completing activities of different intensities and were able to prove their predictions were correct.

Year 6 Science Week!

13th March 2025Stephanie Oliver

During Science Week, Year 6 investigated ‘How does exercise affect our heart rate?’ The pupils worked in groups and devised an experiment which would answer this question. They needed to make a prediction, decide how they would ensure it would be a fair test, record results and evaluate their findings.

3SG World Book Day

13th March 2025Samantha Good

Last week, 3SG celebrated World Book Day in style. Everyone looked AMAZING in their costumes and a HUGE thank you to FONCA for their wonderful Mad Hatter’s tea party. The children loved playing games, eating cake and drinking juice just like Alice and her friends!

World Book Day 2025

On Friday, Norton Campus celebrated World Book day.  The theme at school this year was Alice and Wonderland and the children delivered, dressing up in some amazing costumes and even had the opportunity, thanks to FONCA, to take part in a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party.  Indeed, in 4GC we took the opportunity to create some amazing artwork exploring how we could use charcoal to create tone and texture.  Here are just some of the amazing outcomes created by our students. 

World Book Day!

10th March 2025Richard-David Hewitt

What a fantastic day! This year, the children threw themselves in to our Alice in Wonderland theme by learning and performing ‘The Jaberwocky’. They showed great courage to perform this (with actions) to our year 4s. The day has inspired us further to create some wonderful watercolour paintings of the monsters within the poem!

World Book Day!

10th March 2025Emma Gould

Last week Year 3 celebrated World Book Day by sharing our favourite stories and an amazing tea party! The children all looked amazing in their costumes and loved telling their classmates about their favourite characters. The children completed some amazing artwork based on the characters from Alice in Wonderland, using 2D shapes to create the outline.
