Year 3 and 4 Lego League

Our Year 3 and 4 STEM team had an incredible day taking part in the LEGO League, hosted by Capgemini!

Throughout the event, the children demonstrated excellent teamwork, creativity, engineering skills and problem-solving as they designed, built and presented their LEGO creations. They embraced the challenge with enthusiasm and resilience, applying key STEM skills in a fun and practical way.

We are incredibly proud that our team won Best Use of Bricks and Most Historical Build. A huge congratulations to everyone who took part – you represented Randlay Primary brilliantly and were fantastic ambassadors for our school!

Year 3 and 4 Telford Maths Championship Winners!

On Wednesday 24th June, a wonderful group of six year 3 and 4 children visited St George’s CE Primary School to attend the first ever Year 3/4 Maths Championship. It was led by Helen Owens Education Ltd, an NCETM Leader in Mathematics Education. The event consisted of five rounds, with each round including different topics, from shape to all four number operations. The children worked incredibly well as a group to answer the challenges set, earning a certain number of points depending on the challenge of the questions. Mrs Maddock even had a go at them on the side-lines! Our team were successful in winning first place with the highest number of points! Well done Arther, Dominic, Tess, Utima, Kristi and Olivia – your outstanding maths work in school has certainly paid off. Your teachers are immensely proud of you. Enjoy the success!

 

World Book Day in Base 3

We have loved dressing up as our favourite book characters today in Base 3. Our teachers weren’t in today though; we were taught by Mr and Mrs Twit, up to no good as usual!

We took part in ‘drop everything and read’ – listening out for the bell around school to then continue to read for pleasure. We created WANTED posters for book characters and designed wooden plaques in Outdoor Learning, inspired by books we love.

Rocking the clock away in Music

Base 3 have been loving learning about Rock n Roll music. They also showed off some fabulous dance moves to the groovy beat!

We explored living things in the urban and rural areas that surround our school. How lucky we are to have both on our doorstep! Here we are pictured with the Randlay Chimney in the distance.

The children have loved learning some basic sign language this term. Thank you Mrs Lloyd for being an expert in the subject. We hope to learn more with you!

Designing and making pneumatic toys.

This week, Base 3 have been creative in their design technology lessons, by designing and making pneumatic toys, linked closely to our English work about Perfect Pets. Everyone did a wonderful job. Some children even went into Base 2 to share their designs with the younger children, as the design criteria stated how the toy needed to be bright, colourful, easy to use and to interest 5 year old children. Base 2 were certainly impressed with their creations.
