STEM Week - April 2019, by Mr Jolly
Date: 2nd May 2019 @ 5:19pm
At the beginning of the week, we read the Bible Story Genesis 3. This story starts in the Garden of Eden and is called The beginning of Sin. In this, Adam and Eve are in the Garden of Eden. God tells them that they can eat fruit from any of the trees apart from the large one in the middle. A snake tells Eve to go ahead and eat from the tree despite God’s commandment. Eve is tempted and she goes against God. We wondered why she had decided to do this so we investigated in Science whether senses affect our temptation?
We tasted some baked beans. This of us that liked them thought they were lovely. We then took away people’s sight by blind folding them.
We wanted to find out if what children heard about the food would put them off. This also allowed us to see if the blindfolded children were affected by what they heard The other children shouted in horror when they saw green baked beans and green custard arrive in the classroom. The blindfolded children were a little unsure but bravely accepted the challenge: finding out that we should try not to rely on just one of our senses. We concluded that our senses have a massive impact on whether or not we can resist temptation.
Later on, we conducted an experiment based on the famous Rowntree’s Fruit Pastille adverts about how long we could have a sweet in our mouths before being tempted to chew.
The challenge faced was to see how long can you do before you chew! This used Maths skills to measure and record timings, collating data from the table and posing further question we could investigate. Year 4 were very good at resisting the temptation to chew.
After this, we used technology to record adverts, pretending we were the snake, to tempt Eve to try the fruit from the tree, just as the adverts had tempted people to take on the no chewing challenge. Children recorded thinking about camera angles and close ups etc. Some children even found appropriate music to accompany their different characters.
Finally, we used engineering and designing to put around the trees we had made to help Eve resist her temptation. We made a circuit containing a trip switch so that a buzzer or security light would go off if anyone went near the tree.

St. Peter's Visit St. Joseph's -March 2019, by Mrs Cavill
Date: 2nd Apr 2019 @ 5:25pm
On Friday 29th March 4C went to our link school St. Joseph' Roman Catholic school in Heywood. The children were keen to meet up with their friends from St. Josephs and we had a fun packed day. First, Headteacher, Mrs. Dunne welcomed us to the school in the hall. We then played some co-operation games before going up to the classrooms.
We worked together to create and plan for an ideal place of worship. There was lots of discussion about what was important. At lunchtime we played out. We even got to play football and basketball! In the afternoon we built our own island community from "junk." We had a great day and look forward to hosting Class 10 at St. Peter's in the Summer term.

Smithills Farm Year 1 March 2019, by Miss Seasman
Date: 1st Apr 2019 @ 2:15pm
We had the best day out at Smithills farm last week. The trip linked to our science and geograpy topics and we learnt lots of new facts about a variety of animals. We started the day with a donkey ride before feeding sheep, chickens, goats and llamas. We then had a bumpy ride on a tractor up to the top of the field and fed the donkeys. After lunch we attended an informative talk about where milk comes from and witnessed the exciting process of milking. We finished the day in pets corner and got to meet lots of baby animals. It was a fantastic day out!

We had a wonderful service this morning, thinking about the Easter story and the sacrifice Jesus made. We thanked God for this and understood how his message can be used all over the world to help those most in need.
