SATs Information Evening
Our Curriculum
Sugar Beet Trip
This week the children have been extremely lucky because Matthew Hawthorne asked them to carry out a mini investigation that will support him with his farming. Matthew wanted to know the estimated yield of sugar beet, so that he could pass this information on to British Sugar. He took us to four different fields where the children had to measure the weight of six sugar beet (in kilograms); they had to complete this task for three different samples.
Once this information was gathered, we had to go back to the classroom and then work out the mean average weight of sugar beet in the four different fields. Then finally, to calculate the yield for each field, the children had to multiply the weight by 86000 (because this is roughly how many sugar beet have grown out of the 110000 planted).
Thurston Community College Sport's Festival
Year 6 we given the amazing opportunity to attend Thurston Community College Sport's Festival. This event is coordinated by Thurston Sport's Partnership and is run by the students that attend TCC. It was an awesome day full of team building and getting to know other Year 6 pupils from different schools.
Thurston Community College Cross Country
We were offered a wonderful opportunity to take part in a cross country event at Thurston Community College. Every Year 6 took part in this event and I can honestly say that they showed great determination, resilience and stamina; I am so proud of them. Shout out to Charlie for coming 10th overall - well done!
