Science Week

On Monday 22^nd October - Friday 26^th October we are having a Science week in school. Throughout the week the children will have lots of magical experiences to help bring important elements of the National Curriculum to life and to experience Science live!

On Tuesday 23^rd October The Mobile Farm Experience is coming to visit our Nursery to Year 3 classes - bringing the farm experience to school! The children will learn a range of fascinating things about Food, Farming and the Countryside and throughout the visit the children will have lots of opportunities to get close to the animals. Sessions include:

• Free time to meet the animals
• Hands on encounter sessions
• Feeding and grooming
• Talking through each animal in turn including: differences, baby names, what they produce and what each animal needs to stay healthy.
• Quiz and activity sheets

For years 4, 5 and 6, the children will be working with Ken Harrison, an experienced expert from Mayfield Grammar school, who will be doing some amazing science with the different year groups. Their sessions will be on the Tuesday and Wednesday. The Year 4 workshop will be exploring forces, the year 5 workshop is all about light and the year 6 workshop is about materials. Each of these sessions will be practical and inspiring. Some of which will go with a bang!

Martin Rapley, more famously known as ‘The Bugman!’ will be visiting children from year R up to year 6 on the Thursday. He will perform an animal variety show where the children will have plenty of opportunity to learn about, and where suitable, touch animals, like a snake, lizard, harvest mouse, pygmy hedgehog, praying mantis, stick insects, an emperor scorpion, Mexican red knee tarantula and giant millipedes. The show has plenty of WOW factor and the children will love it. There will also be smaller close up sessions too.

As a finale, Doctor Julie’s Heaps of Science Fun will be performing a wonderful show to years 1-6. The show will demonstrate a range of exciting repeatable scientific experiments using everyday household objects. The children will be amazed and inspired!

I am really looking forward to a very exciting end to the term!

Harvest Celebration

Today Wrotham Road pupils collected a bumper crop of food donations. Children brought in items from home, including tinned, powdered and dried food, tea, coffee, fruit juice and vegetables.These items will help stock up  ‘Foodbank’ which sees volunteers providing essential food items to families who have suffered in some way,who are less fortunate than us.

A big thank you for all the donations!
