Happy Easter!
A huge Thank You to Sarah, Tom and
Lindsey who run the Barton Fundraiser
Facebook page for buying every child
and teacher an Easter egg this year.
It takes a lot of time and effort to raise
the money they have for the school and
every penny will go towards benefiting
the children at Barton.

Egg Drop Challenge
Yaverland class worked really well in teams to create ingenious designs to stop an egg from
breaking after falling from a great height. They followed the design process and discussed how to
cut, join and strengthen materials. The whole class was very proud that every egg landed safely
without cracking. Well done Yaverland class'
St Helens Class designed and tested their own Mars Rover to drop. We watched clips and
talked about what was needed to protect the robot 'egg'. The challenge was to protect the egg
inside from the impact of being dropped from a height.
The children enjoyed the countdown to launch and they're starting to use some
scientific language to explain their ideas.
You can view the video on the class website page.
Compton Class were in groups to design and make their egg packages. They then dropped
them from height to see if their egg survived.

Egg Drop Challenge
Alum Bay Class created their egg package models in teams and
then with the help of Mr Givens and Mr Orchard, they were
dropped from a height to see if they would survive.
The children made their own Easter nests.
Freshwater Class have produced some amazing final pieces (using Oil pastel) for their interpretation of The
Yellow Christ picture by Paul Gauguin.
Year 5 and 6 have been looking at Line graphs this week.
They enjoyed collecting data on how the length of a shadow changes over the course of the day and then
plotted their results on a line graph. We were also able to talk about why shadows get longer and shorter.

Reception Class enjoyed Egg and Spoon Races on Red Nose Day this year.
www.bartonprimaryschool.co.uk
In Totland class, the children wrote and presented Dragon's Den-style pitches for their egg box
challenge designs. The children were asked to convince us that their designs would protect their
eggs and to respond to questions about their designs and chosen materials. We saw some
eggcellent (!!) teamwork, but the winning pitch was presented by Ruby, Ally and Aria - well done
girls!
