PGL 2010

School Administrator — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:15:51 +0000

Key Stage 2 visit to PGL.

The residential visit to PGL was a tremendous success and enjoyed by all. It is so rewarding to observe the children participating in the activities such a centre provides and to see them face challenges and often conquer fears. As usual the PGL staff were extremely professional and superb with the children. Feedback from the children was that the food was better than previous years.
Arrangements are currently in place to upload the photos on to the school website. We also plan to produce a disc of photos for families who would like one. There will be a small charge for this to cover the cost of the discs.
All pupils were a real credit to both the school and their families. I would also like to say a big thank you to Jason Williams, Miss Hayball and Mrs Warren for giving up their time at the weekend to support the visit.

Snow Friction Experiments

Lissi Hayball — Tue, 12 Jan 2010 22:47:05 +0000

We’ve been looking at friction as part of our science topic on forces and decided to take advantage of the conditions outside! Children first carried out an investigation into which types of surfaces produce the greatest resistance and friction. They then used this to help them with their challenge; to design a sledge to carry the Oakridge School bear, Ted or his partner Tedina, the furthest distance (safely) through the snow.

Children were allowed to discuss this challenge with parents last night and were allowed to bring in any materials from home they especially wanted to use. The winners of the challenge were Amy Cook and Libby Dickenson who used a metal tray lid as the base for their sledge.

Moon Buggies and Space Rockets

Class 2 — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 20:47:47 +0000

We’ve been busy in Class 2 with our hot glue guns! How NASA get by without our help normally we just can’t imagine.

We hope you enjoy viewing our creations as much as we enjoyed making them.

And of course, like all good engineers we made plan drawings first so we could make the best use of our time and materials when it came to making the real thing!

These plans are best viewed by clicking the first image then using the “Next” link to step through.
