Learning Detectives

At Iron Acton, we try to consistently challenge ourselves and be purple learners. To learn more about the learning happening across the school, 10 children have been working with Mrs Pardoe to set up our Learning Detective team. These pupils will get the opportunity to observe around the school, and feedback to staff about what is working well, and how we can improve our learning skills. We look forward to seeing what the Learning Detectives find in their investigations!

Fire Service Visit Falcons

As part of our learning about the Great Fire of London, the Fire Service came to visit Falcons class. We did a jigsaw and learned about all of the ways the Fire Service can help us. We shared our knowledge about what to do when there is a fire, and had the chance to go and explore the fire engine itself!

After competing in the classroom, two of our pupils headed down to Renishaw to compete against other schools in a design challenge. Although they were unlucky this time, we hope they keep up their engineering efforts for the future.

Swindon Steam Museum

To finish our topic and consolidate our learning, Eagles took a trip to the Steam Museum in Swindon. We had an educational session and then got the chance to explore the museum. We could even go underneath one of the trains (weighing quite a few tons!) to look at the intricate mechanics. A must see!

Eagles First Aid

At the end of Term 6, Eagles class took part in an essential First Aid course with a volunteer nurse from the community. We learnt about a variety of different situations where we’d need our First Aid skills, and even got to have a practice on some ‘patients’ who showed their terrific acting skills!

Mummified Oranges!

During our learning about the Ancient Egyptians, we discovered the mummification process. We were so fascinated (and a little disgusted) that we wanted to try out the process ourselves! After scooping out the ‘guts’ of the orange and drying it out with paper towels, we used a mixture of bicarbonate of soda and salt to make natron and added cinnamon and cloves. We then wrapped our oranges tightly in bandages and left them in a warm dry place. The photos show the the unwrapping and results!

Eagles Bristol Museum – Design Challenge

As part of our learning for STEM Week, Eagles class took on a design challenge to create new souvenirs for the Egyptians Exhibit at the Bristol Museum. They were put into teams and given a brief to follow. They created their own logos for their team and collaborated to create a range of t-shirts and key rings. Lastly, they presented their work to the rest of the class with interesting and exciting product descriptions. As you can see, the results are fabulous! Well done Eagles!
