Every term we have a ‘Stunning Start’ day to kick off our new topics, to get everyone exciting and to help our staff understand what our pupils already know to be able to extend they’re knowledge.

 Our topics this term are;

 • EYFS - Transport - How do you travel?

 • Lower Primary - Construction and Buildings: How do you make a building? 

 • Upper Primary - Robots: What can a robot do? 

We had learning opportunities throughout the the academy, from a robot rave where pupils were getting into the character of a robot, dressing up and practicing their robot dance moves, right through to making famous Bradford landmarks out of food to link with our DT curriculum. 

In the bus compound we had a ‘vehicle wash’ so that pupils could get up close to lots of different kinds of vehicles, from small bikes to massive traffic management lorries. A huge thanks to Premier Traffic Management who brought their vehicles along and were on hand to answer all of our questions! 

In the courtyard we were challenged to make our own Robots from recycled junk modelling materials, linking to our PSED topic of recycling and reusing! We also explored ‘materials’ feely boxes, guessing what materials were inside which links to our Science learning this term!

In our Immersive Suite our pupils were taken on a journey through Bradford, spotting famous landmarks and locations around our brilliant city!
