  • Year 4 Trip to Shuttleworth

    Published 15/07/25

    Year 4 were very lucky to be able to visit the Zoological Education Centre at Shuttleworth House.  They had some amazing experiences including seeing so many different animals that they had never experienced before; feeding the capybaras; stroking an armadillo and being able to stand in a rainforest biome. This trip supported all of our learning this term about animals in Science and helped us to bring to life our learning on South American including the Amazon Rainforest in Geography.

    I am so proud of all the children who took part in the Underpass art competition and it was lovely to see your work on display today. Well done to Nilashini and James who were fantastic representatives of our school. We heard speeches from different representatives of Stevenage Even Better who were all blown away by the talent on display.

  • Year 5 Science at Barclay Academy

    Published 09/07/25

    On Monday 30th June year 5 went to Barclay and did science there. The first thing we did was discussing the rules. These rules included wearing safety goggles, keeping your hair tied up, no eating, no running and there has to be a teacher in the room. After that, we got water, golden syrup, sunflower oil, baby oil and detergent. First, we poured the detergent in the golden syrup. Then poured the water in the detergent and we tried not to mix it. Then we poured the sunflower oil and the baby oil in the water. We succeeded to layer it. The next experiment was where we had to mix different chemicals slowly to make a redish, greenish and yellowish layer and it made a rainbow mixture.

  • Year 4 Regeneration Tour

    Published 09/07/25

    Year 4 enjoyed their tour of the exciting 'Regeneration Stevenage' project happening currently in their town. They learnt about the history of Stevenage Town Centre and were interested to know that Stevenage was the very first new town in 1946 - opened by the Queen! They identified and explored various landmarks in Stevenage - including the clock tower and the tiled mural artwork above the Primark store. The children were informed of the 1 billion pound project taking place over the next 20 years to ‘make Stevenage even better’ and how this will impact them as the future generation of entrepreneurs! With more housing, updated public spaces, lots of Science based jobs and many creative, forward thinking ideas - we think Stevenage is the place to be! Aim high Year 4!
