Carols around the tree!

Thank you to those of you who were able to join us for carols around the tree; the children really enjoyed being able to share the songs with you, we hope you enjoyed it too!

Human Rights Day

On Friday 10th December we learnt a lot about human rights and responsibilities. We found out how rights and responsibilities differ and what our rights are as children. We made people chains to celebrate how different people are in our community and around the world.

Animal Man visit

It was great to welcome back the Animal Man to Knighton. We enjoyed looking at a range of animals and learning more about Charles Darwin.

Science day

All children in year 5 and 6 engaged in science and technology activities. They made bath bombs following a BBC Good Food recipe. They planned and made packaging, thinking about what they should include on the packaging like attractive colours, designs and an ingredients list. Lucy said she enjoyed making her own products. Molly P said she liked working with other people. Freddie B said he liked measuring out and mixing to make the bath bombs. The children also looked at how different types of salt reacted in paint.

It was a very busy and productive day. We hope the children enjoyed using their products at home!

Science Enrichment Morning

The children all had important jobs of being structural engineers.  They had to design and make a boat that would hold the most weight and design and make a bridge that would hold the heaviest weight.
