Reception classes have some chicken eggs at the moment.

Why not have a look at the live feed video below to find out if they have hatched yet!

Space Camp 2018

On Thursday night we had a memorable evening at school - Space Camp. The Y5 children did a lot of different activities and then slept over in the school hall. We were fortunate enough to have had a clear evening so the children were able to see star constellations, the moon and the planet Venus from the car park. Photographs to follow on our website this week.

The children took some of the pictures using Mr Steggall's camera. The moon was a crescent and this meant that the sky was not flooded with light so we could see some of the stars. Venus was clearly visible.

Aircraft over Moor Hall this morning

It was unusual to spot a formation of four military aircraft fly over school this morning. We think they were F15's but do not know for sure!

This is an example of an F-15....

Our Fabulous Scientists

What a wonderful discussion we have just had with two of our Y5 scientists. Their investigative work was outstanding, as was the discussion that followed. VERY well done!

Thinktank Museum Visit

On Thursday 13th October, Year 1 went to the Thinktank Museum in Birmingham. We had a fantastic time! We learnt all about our 'Amazing Bodies' and had lots of fun exploring the different sections of the museum. We have added a selection of photographs to our class page for you to have a look at. Enjoy!

Class 2's Trip to the National Space Centre

Before half term Class 2 visited the National Space Centre.  We had such a fantastic time!  I have uploaded photographs from our day to the children's work section of the website.

Leopard Slug

After the 'Bird Sale' we all went into the 'Wildlife Garden' to fill up the feeders and check the bird baths. We found an unusual slug which was identified as a 'Leopard Slug'. Scientists are unclear of their whereabouts and to date there have been no reported sightings in this area. I have therefore registered our sighting to the Open Air Laboratories Network run by Imperial College, London. These slugs are garden friendly as they eat rotting vegetation and other slugs - they don't eat healthy plants!
