🧪Year 4 undertook an exciting hands-on science experiment this week, learning about viscosity. 🧪The children explored how different liquids flow at different speeds. @kapowprimary #science @ScienceChannel

@Principal_Jon Students can't learn from teachers they don't like You only use 10% of your brain The cone (or pyramid, or triangle) of learning For more, take a look at "Instructional illusions" by Kirschner, Hendrick and Heal (I liked it so much I wrote a foreword for it).

Year 4 were inspired in English by 'How Things Work' by Clive Gifford. @CliveWrites They created their own “Terrific Tech from the Future" inventions, with labelled diagrams and detailed explanations. The children proudly published their work into a class book. @SchoolReading

🌟Year 4 experienced another memorable literacy moment after receiving a personal message from author Clive Gifford in response to their invention writing. @CliveWrites Clive praised their creativity and imagination. He wrote, “I’m inspired by your work.”
