We always love to celebrate our children’s achievements out-of-school and we are delighted to share Amelia’s recent dance competition success at a national festival held in the south of England. Amelia finished 3rd in the ‘Slow’ category and she qualified in the ‘Fast’ category. Congratulations Amelia and keep up the good work!
Congratulations to our Year 6 children who returned from our residential trip at Thurston this afternoon. Every single one of you displayed all of the Navigators qualities we show in school to battle through everything the Cumbrian weather could throw at us. A full photographs showcase will be uploaded in due course but for now, here is one of the few blue-sky pictures we could take! Well done everyone!
Wow 2 Purple certainly know how to use our new sensory circuits!
So this years theme was ‘Out Of This World’ and wow what an amazing day we had! Here are just some of the fantastic pictures of the amazing costumes, beautiful art and creative activities we did. We also had an ‘out of this world ‘ workshop with Josh from RTC.
This week we have been working with Scratch Junior on the Ipads generating algorithms (a series of commands) for a sprite (a controllable character). The children worked in pairs and really enjoyed the sessions. They created some wonderful work while showing some real Pathfinder qualities!
In Year 3, we have experienced life in Greece today by tasting lots of popular Greek foods. We tasted feta cheese, pitta bread, tzatziki, hummus and olives. We needed to be brave as some of us were nervous to try certain foods. However, we acted like true Adventurers and gave it a go! Some of us were surprised at how tasty lots of the items were!

On Monday, 4 Blue were busy taking part in the ‘Little Inventors Challenge’. We had to design a wind powered invention that would solve a problem, make something better or just create something fun. To help us with our designs, we created a graffiti wall of wind powered ideas. Then we took part in a hovercraft race. We made a wind powered hovercraft using a balloon, a sports bottle cap and some blu-tack. We all had a great day!
This week in our Learning Means The World theme ‘Athens V Sparta’ we have been building a Grecian car. We used our measuring skills to measure each piece of wood and used the saws to cut the lines we measured. We followed the safety instructions for using the saws to ensure we used the equipment safely. We are very proud of our finished products.
In our Learning Means The World theme we looked at programming and the algorithms we can make. We used Scratchjr to start looking at programming commands and making our sprite move across the screen. We worked with our partner and wrote a set of commands together to complete our activity. It was great fun!
This week in our Learning Means The World Theme, Year 3 have been designing and creating their own Greek Coil Pots. This activity required lots of patience as we found it tricky to mould the clay into coils in order to construct our coil pot.
