Spaghetti Challenge!

 in Class Four / Class Three / Design and Technology by

Class Three and Four had an amazing morning completing ‘The Spaghetti Structure Challenge.’ The children were set the task of building a structure using spaghetti, blue-tack, masking tape and string. They worked in small groups and their team work skills were put to the test! The structures were designed to hold the weight of a book and were tested to destruction and prizes were awarded for the tallest, strongest and most creative models. The children were fantastic and produced some interesting structures. A big thank you to Christian and Victoria from Architects Plus (UK) for working with the children and judging their work.

Treasure Island!

 in Class One / SCARF / Whole School by

Reception had a wonderful day out to Derwentwater yesterday in search of treasure! We caught the launch from Hawse End and were dropped off on a large ‘island’ for the day! We listened to a story about a famous pirate who liked to reward children who demonstrated good team-working skills. We had to work together to solve problems and find clues which lead us to our treasure! Well done Reception!
