Talented Year 6 Steel-panists led a fantastic celebration of musical talent at Addison this afternoon. Over 100 children performed, showcasing the wide range of instruments being taught at Addison. Whole class, group and individual performances were superb and loudly applauded by the biggest audience of proud parents that we have ever had!

IPC Topic for Autumn Term 2 – Night and Day

Year Two started our new topic of Night and Day by visiting our darkest room in the school – the Boiler Room!!  Even though it was a little scary all children were able to experience the complete absence of light and lit the room with a variety of light sources.  Take a look at our photographs…

Fooling our brains at the Royal Institution

A group of children took part in a lecture about the brain and our senses at the Royal Institution today – given by Blue Peter’s very own science expert and comedian, Steve Mould.  Using a series of sensory illusions the children discovered just how much work the unconscious brain does for us.

We had company for our picnic in Green Park – including a 21 gun salute.

Music and Science

Our Year 5 science topic: changing sound had the children design and make their own unique musical instrument.  Their challenge: –

• Their instrument had to make a variety of sounds
• Their instrument had to change pitch.

They met their challange and were very proud! Our instruments are on display in our classroom.  Well done Year 5!
