Separating Materials

3rd December 2021S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

As part of our Science Topic, children in Year 5 have been using their knowledge of properties of materials to separate two materials which had been mixed together. We explored how the processes of Filtration, Evaporation, Sieving and Magnetic Attraction could be used to separate a mixture of solids, liquids and gases.

Children in Need!

Children enjoyed coming into school in non – uniform for this worthy cause.

Year 5 enjoyed exploring Viking Artefacts!

3rd December 2021S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

In Year 5 we are studying the Vikings.  Vikings were people who came from Norway, Sweden and Denmark, collectively known as Scandinavia.  We know lots about the Vikings including why they raided monasteries (Lindisfarne being the first) and what weapons they used.  We know about some of the Anglo-Saxon kings (Alfred the Great, Ethelred the Unready and Edward the Confessor) and what they tried to do to stop the brutal invasions, including the introduction of Danegeld which translates as ‘paying the Dane’ which was literally paying the Vikings to go away!

 

Today, we were lucky enough to become Historians and explore Viking Artefacts. We handled them carefully and asked questions such as: ‘What is it made from?’; ‘What could it be?’ and ‘Who might’ve used it?’.  After our explorations, we chose 2 objects and we completed a museum information card with our findings!

 

Year 6 visit The Word.

3rd December 2021S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

Year 6 visited The Word to take part in a computing workshop.  All of the children had great fun, learning many new skills.  During the session at the students:

  • Designed, wrote and debugged programs that accomplished specific goals using a variety of software.
  • They solved problems by decomposing them into smaller parts
  • Used sequence, selection, and repetition in programs e.g repeat loops and nested loops
  • Used logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs

The pupils were a credit to the school and worked fantastically in groups to solve the problems given.

Hindu worship in Year 3

5th November 2021S Admin (Biddick Hall Juniors)

Year 3 had some very special visitors. Our topic of Hindu worship was brought alive when we heard stories and saw artefacts of the religion.

We performed a Puja ceremony and the highlight was when we re enacted the story of Rama and Sita complete with beautiful costumes and music.

Year 3 had a wonderful experience.
