Year 3 children investigated shadows with Katie from Science Buddies. We created shadow puppets and investigated how to change the size of a shadow. We also found that we could not change the colour of a shadow.
As part of comic relief we encouraged the children to come to school with crazy hair!
During World Book Day pupils took part in a competition where they had to create a World Book Day voucher. They were given the challenge of creating a bold, eye-catching gift card design that celebrated their interests and showed how books can help you to explore ideas, spark imagination and go further through reading.
Come join us at Biddick Family Hub for our Little Inventors Workshops on Wednesday 8th April 1.30pm – 3.00pm
Join Little Inventors for an educational and fun workshop where families can work together to help us build a better future for our oceans through creativity and innovation.
We need your creative minds to help us overcome the toll that human factors like overpopulation, travel, noise and industrialisation are having on life beneath the waves.
Little Inventors believes that everybody, young and old, have great ideas which can change the world – especially when they work together. This workshop is the perfect opportunity to learn more about our oceans and explore how your brilliant thinking can help build a better future.

The children at Biddick Hall Juniors have been involved in a variety of activities as part of Science Week. They have tested boats, designed a poster, investigated the question, ‘What should we trust machines to do for us? and had a visit from Katie Rochester from Inventors and Makers who came in and worked with each class to do an Artificial Intelligence Workshop.
Science council enjoyed making slime with Katie from Science Buddies.
Katie from Science Buddies visited year 4 to investigate how sounds are made. We carried out an investigation to find out which materials muffled sounds effectively and used a sound meter to measure in decibels. We had great fun and we developed some excellent scientific enquiry skills.
To celebrate World Book Day an author visited our school called Jodie James. She visited every class to complete an activity and read part of one of her books. All lessons during the day focused around various books and authors. Everyone also took part in a school competition to design a World Book Day token.
All pupils were given a £1 World Book Day book voucher and we held a Scholastic book Fair where books were for sale after school on Monday 9th March.
Our Year 3 children had an amazing time exploring Dennis – the Recycling Education Bus. They learned all about recycling, reducing waste and looking after our environment.
