• Learn With Your Child Event

  Thu 05 Jun 2025

  Our Digital Leaders gave a presentation to parents and carers following our Learn with Your Child event today.

  The presentation theme was how to keep your child and yourself safe online. Our pupils were keen to share their knowledge and experience of online safety with parents and carers to ensure that all pupils could be safeguarded online. During the presentation, parents and carers learned about how to set a strong password; how to recognise a scam email, call or text; the importance of parental controls and how to ensure gaming online is age-appropriate and safe.

  Thank you to all parents, carers, grandparents, aunties, uncles and siblings who attended, your support is very much appreciated.

  Thank you also to our Digital Leaders for an informative presentation with a very important message!

  

• 3KA Roman Topic

  Mon 19 May 2025

  As part of our Romans topic in 3KA, we have been learning about volcanoes. We learned that pressure builds under the Earth's crust, causing magma to erupt through as lava with ash, forming a cone-like volcano shape once cooled. We then modelled a volcano eruption by mixing acid and alkali (vinegar and baking powder) to model a pyroclastic flow. We learned that this is fast whereas lava flows are slow. We saw bubbles which meant that gas was being produced. This gas was carbon dioxide which is produced during a real eruption!

• Viking Chessmen

  Tue 01 Apr 2025

  3KA learned about the discovery of some Viking chessmen in their Creative Curriculum today. We learned that many were found buried on the Isle of Lewis, Scotland. They were made from walrus tusks and sperm whale teeth from Greenland and were used to play chess by the Vikings in Norway. We also learned of their appearance in one of the Harry Potter fims! We then made our own chessmen from clay, which is another material the Vikings used.
