We have set up our own ‘YouTube’ channel called The Curiosity Channel, where viewers can write in with any of their scientific questions and we will try to create an explainer video to help them understand the answer to their question. The class have worked hard to write an introductory script, created a logo and a tune for the show. They have used Abode to put all of these elements together for our first video. Since sharing the video on our channel (on Hwb) we have been asked a question about electrical circuits. Can we help?
Kerbcraft teaches children ages 5-7 how to be safer pedestrians by taking them onto real roads and showing them how the right decision-making and behaviour can really help them to keep safe when crossing the road.
This week the children have been choosing safe places and routes to cross the road. Rob Griffiths who coordinates the Kerbcraft scheme was really impressed by how well the children were able to recognise dangers and hazards and identify alternative crossing places.
Year 2 and 3 have really ‘stepped’ in to their Mantle of the Expert commission this term where they have been commissioned to be a team of engineers and researchers. They have found inspiration from the story ‘The boy who harnessed the wind’ which follows the story of William who built a wind turbine using scrap materials to create electricity. The children have been making lists of materials that they will need to complete their engineering role and thinking of interesting questions that they would like to ask William about his invention. If you work in engineering or renewable energy sector, we would really love to hear from you.
