To celebrate British Science Week, we invited children to take part in a Science Selfie Competition encouraging them to look for science connections in the world around them. There were some fantastic entries ranging from static energy, double rainbows to super snowmen! Congratulations to Molly from Year 1 who won thanks to her lovely Tasty Rainbow entry!
As we approach the Easter holidays, we hope the children enjoy their well-deserved break! As the children will have lots of free time, they may choose to spend some extra time on devices at home. Find some tips and advice below to support a healthy screen time balance.
Before half term, our Year 5 children visited The Hancock Museum to consolidate their learning from our Science topic Earth and Space. The children loved watching ‘A Tour of Our Solar System’ in the planetarium and completing a moon workshop where they found out how the moon affects the tides. They also listened to a story about the moon and completed linked activities and were given some time to explore the museum itself.
To raise awareness for Safer Internet Day at Mortimer, children across the school took part in a range of engaging activities! The children discussed how to be responsible online when using devices and the importance of sharing both positive and negative experiences with trusted adults. Some children were also visited by PCSO Steven Graham who commented on their excellent behaviour and E-Safety knowledge.
