Easter Basket and Bonnet Parade

March 28 2024

The Children in Reception enjoyed showing their families their Easter bonnets and baskets this morning and then sang a selection of beautiful Easter songs.

Half term sports’ round up

Our Year 3&4 basketball teams enjoyed lots of fixtures this half term. A fantastic effort from both the boy’s teams meant they won their leagues. Our girls teams were also high flying. Our B team came 4th in the league of 12 teams and our A team came joint first (just missing out on the gold due to points scored). Amazing achievements!

We also took 30 Year 2 children to Westfield School where they enjoyed dance, football and hockey. 30 of our Year 3 children travelled to Goldington Green School for their sports festival for invasion and inclusion games which they all really enjoyed.

Our Year 3&4 children have been enjoying after school dance classes, led by Jenny Rochford from Dance Path Company. An inspirational teacher who the kids have loved learning from.

We have also had BEE Creative Dance Company into school to deliver interactive ways of learning about Dance and Technology. Peter Thompson (5 Time Skipping World Record Breaker) comes into our school weekly to deliver his very successful Exercise Behaviour Program to our students, which helps them to goal set, plan for the future and think about the correct steps in improving their behaviour through sporting pursuits. The students have been blown away by how much passion he has, and how effective he can be in improving effort and attainment.

Our 32 Playground Pals in Years 5&6 continue to help our break and lunch staff every day in keeping the children engaged and active.

Mrs Weerasirie has been pivotal in our Schools Fitness and Feelings Program, working on raising confidence, attendance and self esteem, whilst also getting the kids active.

A shining performance!

Scott Primary students took part in Dreamcoat Stars (with Theatretrain) on Friday at the Corn Exchange. This was a professional show and all the children that took apart shone and showed huge commitment.

We are incredibly proud of them all.

Science Week 2024

March 2024 – Bedford School Observatory trip

Thank you to Bedford School for inviting some of our Year 5 and 6 children to their observatory. They learnt all about constellations and how stars are formed and eventually die. Unfortunately, it was too cloudy to do any stargazing in their telescopes, but they had an excellent evening regardless.

Science Week 2024

March 2024

Science Week began with an assembly delivered by our science ambassadors looking at the theme of ‘Time’.

The science ambassadors also led a Science Fair for Reception and Key Stage 1 where they had a number of experiments for them to try out, covering different aspects of science: floating and sinking, electrical circuits, chemical reactions, magnetism etc.

Reception and Key Stage 1 also enjoyed an enriching and educational visit from Teaching Talons who brought with them some amazing animals to see and touch.

Key Stage 2 enjoyed experiencing the Mark Rutherford Planetarium which was blown up in our Sports Barn. We enjoyed stargazing and learning about how the sun, moon and stars were formed.

Year 5 spent time in our science lab and investigated which materials were the best conductors of electricity and made the bulb shine the brightest.
