The children in afternoon Athena have been taking part in daily attention group, starting with bucket time and then independent activities that help to build their focus and attention. This week we have created lolly stick houses, designed paper cupcakes and even made the real thing!

In science, Year 4 have been learning about sound. Today we were investigating how sounds travels. We learned that the further the distance, the quieter the sound. Today’s technology means we can speak to people long distance through the telephone. We made string telephones to see whether the vibrations meant that we could hear our partners! A success!!

Early morning Computer Club, Maths Boosters and Active Kids with Billy and Debbie. What a brilliant start to the day.

KS2 History Club are learning about the Kingdom of Benin and Yoga Club are learning how to fold themselves into an envelope – something for everyone at Middle Park!

Year 6 have been looking at infrared waves in Computing. We found that it can be used for data transmission, proximity, barriers and heat detection. The children invented a new type of infrared technology to use in school!

Thanks to the Friends of Queenscroft Park for inviting us down to the park to plant ONE HUNDRED new native trees. We are planning to return in 30 years’ time to see our legacy. Such fun!
