In assembly today our HJS Online Safety Stars received their Digital Leader badges – these children play an invaluable role in supporting their peers with online safety issues; meeting with Mr Beardshaw-Brown every half-term to discuss the games, apps and websites that they are currently using along with any worries…
The children had a fabulous time participating in their last ever Sports Day at Harewood Junior School. The weather was glorious and a great day was had by all!
This week has been HJS Science week and Year 5 have been investigating different biscuits and their ‘dunk ability’ in different liquids. Unfortunately, the digestive biscuit didn’t fare well!
Year 4 thoroughly enjoyed their scientific enquiries investigating biscuit ‘dunkability!’ They devised a fair test and investigation question before making predictions, carrying out their tests, concluding and evaluating. It was fabulous to hear the children’s accurate use of scientific vocabulary and how they actively took on specific job roles to…
Our Science Club took on the classic Egg Drop Challenge, and it was an eggs-traordinary experience! Each group was tasked with designing protective contraptions to keep a raw egg safe when dropped from a height of 6 feet (off a sturdy ladder, of course!). As each egg was released, anticipation…
Mr Watson and Miss Coleman’s Year 3 and Year 4 girls were absolute fantastic ambassadors for our school as they competed brilliantly in the Oxstalls football festival.
