We spent a lot of time in the Global Garden area, looking at different habitats and environmental issues. We even built an igloo!

Solar System

In Year 5 our topic in Science this term is the Earth, Sun and Moon. We thought about what we already knew and what we would like to find out. We also went outside so we could measure out the distances between the planets to scale.

The one that got away!
22/05/2009 by thedeansmrharrisYear 6 went fishing at Deans Pond led by the Swinton Anglers Association. Everyone caught at least one fish but there was no fish supper for year 6. All catches were thrown straight back.
Q1 open afternoon
20/05/2009 by thedeansmrharris
This afternoon all the children in Years 3 and 4, along with over 30 parents and relatives, joined together in the school hall, to work together using their Q1’s. The children (and adults) were challenged to make a video about The Deans using their Q1’s. We used a program called Windows Movie Maker. To make the video they had to sequence various video clips that they had previously recorded on their Q1’s. They then added various ‘transitions’ as well as attempting to add a narration. We will all look forward to seeing each others videos in school over the next few days.

Cycle to school?
05/05/2009 by thedeansmrharris
We have recently had some cycle stands installed at school. This now give us the opportunity to allow some children to come to school on their bikes and be able to lock them up securely during the day. The oldest children in school will be given the first opportunity to come to school on their bikes and then other classes will be involved depending on the number of free spaces available to lock up the bikes.
The photo above shows Joshua trying out the new stands.
