Some of the pupils from year 5 and 6 have taken part in their cycling proficiency today.

Congratulations to all that took part.

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis have had a great time this week with survival skills.

The class had been marooned in the desert, they set up camp, then found a oasis across the desert.

Each group had 2 drain pipes and two sponges, they needed to work out how they could get the water from the oasis back to their camp.

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis have been using the new playground markings to make up playground games.

Each group had to teach the rest of the class how to play their game. The teams then voted for the game they enjoyed the most.

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis have been having fun this week learning and taking part in a team building activity.

The class was split up into four teams, each had to get their whole team across the ‘river’. Each team was given seven ‘rocks’, that they could use to cross the river, if any member of the team fell in, they had to go back to the ‘bank’ to start again.

The teams realised that they had to work together, listen to each other, use problem solving and think about every member of the team to complete this activity.

Each team had a different approach to this activity and they had lots of fun trying out different ways to cross the river.

Dosbarth Mrs Curtis have been looking at the Mars Rover and how it lands on Mars without damaging the payload that collects information.

In teams they had to design and make, a way to drop the payload (an egg) on to the surface of Mars (the playground), without damaging it.


Some eggs survived touch down, better than others.
