Next Term’s Curriculum
Here are the key topics children will be learning about next term. Please encourage your child to learn about these at home:
New ‘Tech Team’ Club for Year 6
Ever think a mousetrap could power a car? Well, that’s exactly what our new ‘Tech Team’ will be building here in school. The team will start by building the base, then add the mousetraps power and then see it race off into the distance!
The team will experiment with the gears and other unique build components to allow the best build racer to go farther, faster or pull heavy weights. They will be applying the science of kinetic and potential energy, simple machines and friction as they design, construct and even reengineer the ultimate mousetrap vehicle!
This club will be for Year 6 and will start on Thursday 9th January from 3.15pm - 4.00pm. If you child would like to join this club please let the school office know.

- Juniors Christmas Service - Monday 16th December @ 2.00pm
