Year 3/4 Dodgeball Club Fun! Our dodgeball legends brought big energy tonight! We worked on stepping closer to the line to power up those throws and took on some exciting 1v1 catching challenges. The focus and determination were brilliant to see. And of course... we finished with some fast-paced, laughter-filled games. Fantastic effort from everyone you smashed it!

Year 3 & 4 Become Polar Scientists! Yesterday's mysterious snowy footprints led to an exciting discovery today... Our classrooms transformed into Antarctica as Year 3 and 4 stepped into the role of official Polar Network UK scientists! Wrapped up in coats to brave the "freezing" conditions, the children set out to investigate everything they could about penguins. They explored different species, studied their appearance, discovered what they eat, and observed how they move across land and water. Each young scientist even created their own detailed penguin drawing in their research journals. The enthusiasm, curiosity, and teamwork on display were incredible. What an unforgettable expedition to the icy south all without leaving school! Coningsby St Michael's C of E Primary SchoolLincoln Anglican Academy Trust

A Mysterious Message for Year 3 & 4... Something very unusual has happened in our classrooms this evening. The tables are covered in snow, strange footprints trail across the room, and research boards filled with facts about penguins have appeared out of nowhere! It seems we may be heading somewhere very cold... We can't wait to see what discoveries tomorrow brings. Coningsby St Michael's C of E Primary SchoolLincoln Anglican Academy Trust

Amazing Learning in EYFS This Week! Our children have been busy exploring the world around them through two exciting learning experiences! Waste Workshop The children took part in a brilliant workshop all about recycling. They learned how to sort rubbish into the correct bins and talked about simple ways they can help recycle at home. Forces and Movement In Understanding the World, the children investigated forces using cars and ramps. They experimented with raising the ramps on blocks to change the gradient and observed how far the cars travelled. They recorded their findings on large paper and shared their ideasfantastic early science skills in action! We are so proud of their curiosity, teamwork, and growing scientific thinking. #EarlyYears #LearningThroughPlay #ScienceInEYFS #ConingsbyStMichaels #AspireBelieveSucceedLincoln Anglican Academy TrustConingsby St Michael's C of E Primary School

Year 3/4 Science Got LOUD This Week! Our classroom was bursting with excitement as Year 3/4 explored how sound is made through vibrations! The children turned into enthusiastic scientists as they experimented with twanging rulers on tabletops, making rice dance on a drum, dipping tuning forks into water to watch the ripples burst into life, and pinging elastic bands to hear how the pitch changes. There were gasps, giggles and lots of "Wow!" moments as the class discovered that every sound begins with something vibrating. It was a wonderfully handson, noisy and unforgettable lesson.

Today our Forest School children stepped into the magical world of Fox Under the Moon. It's a beautiful story about a curious little fox and the wise old moon who watches over him. Inspired by the book, the children created their own stunning moonscape artwork. Their imaginations truly shone. It made us wonder... if you could ask the moon anything, what would it be?Lincoln Anglican Academy TrustConingsby St Michael's C of E Primary School

What an outofthisworld day at school Today our children were treated to an incredible visit from the Planetarium, kindly organised by our wonderful Friends of the School. Stepping inside the dome felt like blasting off into space wide eyes, curious questions, and plenty of "wow!" moments filled the room. The children loved learning all about the solar system, from the blazing Sun to the distant icy planets. There were excited whispers about astronauts, rockets, and even Tim Peake, whose adventures continue to inspire our young space explorers. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this unforgettable learning experience possible It's days like these that spark imaginations and open up whole new worlds for our children Coningsby St Michael's C of E Primary SchoolLincoln Anglican Academy Trust Coningsby St Michael's C of E Primary Friends of School
