Cheltenham Science Festival

 

SCIENCE FESTIVAL

Wednesday 3^rd June 2015

On Wednesday we went on a school trip to the science festival first we went in to the science explosions and our favourite bit was the disco. After the hour went by, we sat down on the grass and had our lunch for about ten or twenty minutes then it was time to go in to the beebots. We had to control them to finish the quiz. Finally, it was time to go in to the dinosaur zone and look at all of the objects. We were allowed to get a poster and an invisible ink pen. Unfortunately it was time to go back to school, so we all got on the bus and played our games all the way back.

Athletics Championships

Prince of Wales stadium sports championships

 

On Tuesday 2^nd June 43 children went to the Prince of Wales stadium to compete in a sports competition against 29 schools around Gloucester.

 At the stadium there were lots of different events including: hurdles, relay, long jump, tennis ball throw, quoit throw, shot put, sprint and speed bounce.  The main event was Relay, because lots of people competed in it, and personally I thought it was the best!

As a team the 3/4 team came third out of 29

Netball match v Shurdington

On Friday the 19^th of March Daisy, Eniola, Flo, Emily, Matilda, Layla, Mollie, Isabelle, Belle, Lily, Lucy, Lola and Kate, represented The Croft School in a netball match against Shurdington School. In our first quarter Matilda scored our first triumphant goal (in the first 10 seconds). From then on we knew we had a good shot at winning.

 The whole team co-operated well together. As a result of this, Shurdington scored 0 in the first quarter and Croft 6.In our 2^nd quarter Croft scored 1 and Shurdington 2.After our opposing team had scored more than us, we worked even harder to win. In our next quarter Croft scored 3 and Shurdington scored 1. In our final quarter 7 and Shurdington 4.

The final score was 16-4 to us.

We then played a second match which we won 5-4

VICTORY TO THE CROFT!!!

All of this would not have been possible without Miss Lawrence!!!

Year 5 and 6 built a Viking Longboat

Building A Viking Long ship

On the 18^th of March Year 5 and 6 built a Viking longship! It was a fun packed day with a variety of different activities such as: building and fastening the ship, weaving, sewing, decorating the figure heads and making authentic Viking shields! COOL! Each Viking shield was the same size as a real one so, to test our strength, we put our bodies to the test and tried a Viking work out. (Turns out none of class five are fit enough to be a Viking soldier.) Even though it is on a ¼ scale, the ship was big enough to hold 10 children! That’s a whole 6 metres!

A few weeks ago we also had a viking day full of fab workshops
