The Friday we did STEAM roller coaster challenge.
3 Fridays ago, the whole school did a STEAM challenge for a roller coaster made out of artstraws, a paper cup, a ping-pong ball, sellotape, cardboard and scissors. (It won’t let me insert the image of it, sorry)
My group had finished our’s first so Me and Cameron made something out of the spare bits, meanwhile the rest of our group decided to colour in the base of the roller coaster.
In the end we all had a pretty good roller coaster, as well as a really good miniature village which Me and Cameron had made out of the spares.
I loved our little roller coaster, but now it is packed away, probably crushed by the other ones 🙁 .
Thanks for reading! 😀

Math Week
Math week was a good, we did a lot of activities my favourite part was when we were doing the numbers up to 12 and the butterfly. I enjoyed that was a good day after my mum came to pick us up from school we showed her our numbers up to 12 and the butterfly it definitely was the best day of my life.

Our school improvement priorities for 2024-2025 are to:
- Update and further develop our planning and progression pathways for numeracy and maths. Embed the last session’s progress on our literacy progression pathways, particularly writing, into our planning and assessment formats.
- Further develop and embed digital literacy learning and digital skills across our school.
- Continue to improve communication with parents and increase opportunities for positive parental involvement and engagement in the life and work of the school.
