Children and adults were challenged to see who could build the tallest tower using a packet of spaghetti and 2 packets of marshmallows. As you can see from the photos the results were amazing with the tallest tower being 111cm. Well done to all our talented engineers, designers and project managers. 

Young governors and governors visited the Fareshare depot in Southampton to find out about food waste and where our food for Breakfast Club comes from.

The BAE Systems STEM Roadshow came to visit Haselworth on Monday 15th March. This was sponsored by BAE Systems, the Royal Navy and the Royal Airforce. The show explored the world of drones, the technology behind them and the multifarious uses that they are currently put to and the possible uses for the future. The second part of the show focused on computing and control systems that all modern technology is built around. The final part of the show featured a very special robot. The children had a fantastic time watching  a drone fly around the hall and looking at real time images being relayed onto a big screen. Some of the lucky ones even got to fly the drone themselves. Working out computer coding and the binary system was another activity the children took part in as well as pitching their wits against a tai-chi dancing robot!

Kingfisher class bid farewell to Mrs Williams with a lovely afternoon tea. After 7 years of working with year 6 pupils on a one to one basis Mrs Williams finally decided to retire (for the second time!) The whole Haselworth community wish both Mrs and Mr Williams a long and happy retirement. The children had a jolly spiffing time, talked politely about the weather and held their little fingers in the air when drinking tea from floral teacups.

Parents, carers and children had a most eggcellent evening designing and making capsules to bring their eggs down to earth in one piece.

Some year 5 pupils had a great day at Portsmouth Historic Dockyard yesterday. They were set a challenge to work out rations onboard the ship and use all their reasoning skills to solve the problems that they faced. 

We're ready for our trip to Christ Church next Friday afternoon. We had lots of parents come and join us for some truly creative headwear! 

We were very proud to open our new Friendship Hut today.  This has been very kindly donated by the Service Families through the funding they receive.  They decided that they would like to create a space where children could go when they are new to the school.  Children from service families often move from school to school and so they understand how difficult it is to sometimes meet new friends.  The children love it and we know it will be used by everybody.  Watch out for Mrs Steele in there with a cup of tea when she needs some peace!

 

 

What an amazing day we have had, with such creativity in scooter design.  The morning started with a visit from St.Vincent's College.  The children had to run to a disco and then take part in a group dance.  Then we set up for the afternoon.  Half of the school took part in a super dooper scooter competition, which everybody enjoyed watching.  Lots of adults came to support and it was great to see so many children really getting very artistic.

 

The winners of the competition were Oscar, Harvey and Stephanie.  Well done for such imaginative designs.

 

The afternoon ended with Red Nose Day cakes and cocktails.  We're still counting the money we raised, so we'll let you know how much later today.  Thank you to everybody who donated for this worthwhile charity.

 

 

Well done to our netball team for winning one match and drawing one match in the league tonight. Fantastic team work!
