As part of our on-going partnership with The Place, Years 3 & 4 worked with specialist dancers & choreographers to create dances linked to different areas of the science curriculum. The pupils performed the dances at the Camden Partner Dance Festival just before the Easter. Click the links below to see their wonderful performances:
Photographing skies in The Thames Estuary. Originally camera lenses let in light, which reacted with special chemicals to create a negative. Today’s cameras convert light into digital information that is converted into an image by a computer.
Meteorologists observe different cloud formations when forecasting the weather. These are mainly cumulus clouds.
Here I am in this dark, blurry picture making my way down to the bottom of a well! Wells have been used for thousands of years as a system to access clean groundwater deep below the surface. The well water is drawn up by using either a pump, a bucket or large water bags that are raised mechanically or by hand. Many communities around the world still rely on water wells to get a clean, reliable supply of drinking water today. Luckily, there was no deep water at the bottom of this abandoned well – and I made it back to the top safely!
Ms McCleave on a train. Trains were the invention that turned Britain into an industrial powerhouse. During the Industrial Revolution engineers tapped into new scientific knowledge and used it to make so many of the machines we take for granted today. Originally trains were powered by coal that was burned to make steam, which powered the engine, but now electricity is used.
We are always working to improve our practice. This INSET, teachers have been thinking about quick and fun ways to support pupils’ acquisition and recall of key facts. We have also been catching up on latest research on effective feedback and marking. 
Teachers will be joinging in with this and posting their selfies on this blog!
Thank you to Lighthouse London and to our Year 4 pupils for delivering the Easter Service this year. Well done everyone!
A selection of our pupils’ excellent art & design work is on show at the O2 Centre on Finchley Road. If you are doing your shopping, make sure you check out the exhibition in the gallery space between the escalators. The work will be on display until after the Easter Holidays.
Parents & carers of all faiths are welcome to attend our Easter Service next Wednesday at 2.30pm. Year 4 will be helping to lead the service with our friends at Lighthouse London. We look forward to sharing this special time of the Christian year with you.
