• Fire Service visit

  Tue 31 Jan 2017 A. Wallis

  The children had a visit from Wiltshire and Dorset Fire service today.

  They were shown how the equipment was stored on the appliance and saw what the Fire Service staff need to wear when they go to put out fires.

  I think that everyone agreed that the best bit was using the hose for target practise in the playground!

  

• Recycling truck.

  Thu 19 Jan 2017 A. Wallis

  Thank you to Mr Mortimer who came in to school to show the children how their recycling is managed after it has been collected.

  The children saw how the bin is emptied and how the contents are squeezed in the back of the truck so lots of waste can be collected at the same time.

  They also heard about how the contents are recycled or burned in power stations to produce energy.

• Scrapheap challenge

  Tue 03 Jan 2017 A. Wallis

  What a fantastic start to the new term.

  The children loved making their scrapheap models inspired by a video that Mrs Salen showed them about a boy who made a games arcade from junk. They needed to decide what they were going to make and find the right sorts of materials to make their game. There was lots of good team working and talk about how to improve their creations!
