• Ogden Trust Y2 Boat Morning

  Wed 27 Mar 2019 Miss Raw

  Today enthusiastic scientists from Year 2 took part in a special boat day as part of our Ogden Trust partnership. Isla, Junior, Andrew, Freya, Ryana and Nathan represented our school.

  The day began with a presentation from our STEM ambassadors Sarah and John who explained how boats floated. We then applied what we had learnt to create Plasticine models. We added animal passengers and experimented with the shape. Flat round boats were the most successful; one held over 50 pasta animals!

  STEM ambassador Rob, an army engineer, then spoke to us about his role. He showed us different things the army built, such as bridges and how different boats were powered. We then created our own paddle steamers using stored energy from an elastic band.

  Finally Sarah spoke to us about the clipper yacht race she will be taking part in. We used this as a stimulus to design and build our own yachts. Congratulations to St. Joseph’s on their winning design!

  As you can see, we had a brilliant morning!

  

• Science Week Show!

  Fri 15 Mar 2019 Miss Raw

  We ended our space themed science week with a hands-on exhibition in the hall called 'To infinity and beyond!'

  The children were able to create slime, colour spaceships, launch rockets and saucers and make constellations using a torch and dark card! We even saw which meteors created the largest craters on the moon and designed aliens to suit different planet habitats.

  Thank you to everyone who attended; as you can see, we had an out of this world time!

• Fabulous Final!

  Wed 06 Mar 2019 Mrs Garbutt

  On Monday, 8 children from Years 3 & 4 took part in the exciting rapid - fire cricket final. Our first 2 games were against the large school finalist, Bengeo. Nerves were very quickly replaced by skillful batting and accurate fielding. After a tense few minutes, while the runs were added, it was announced that Hertford St Andrew were the winners.

  Composed, the team were ready to play again; this time it was against the medium school winners, Hertingfordbury. After a very close and exciting match, narrowly losing 69 runs to 67 runs we had to wait patiently while Bengeo played Hertingfordbury.

  The final scores were announced as follows: 1^st Hertingfordbury, 2^nd Hertford St Andrew and 3^rd Bengeo.

  Well done Hertford St Andrew!
