Lego Mindstorms Club
Communicating through the Senses
At Southfield we love ICT and were very excited when Mrs Hogg got invited on a robotics training day!
We have now begun a robotics club at lunchtimes and have begun to build our own robots! Our robots are able to communicate through sound and sight and we can program them to do lots of exciting things - including obstacle courses!
If you would like to see more of our club then please pop along to the Year 5 classroom at lunchtime or check out the display in the hall!
Please be aware that a lot of documents are now available to download from the website. You will need to look in the Downloads, Newsletters or Policies section. Thank you.
On Friday 27th June, Years 5 and 6 will go on an educational visit to the Doncaster South City Learning Centre.
The children will be split up in to their respective classes and take part in 2 ICT sessions - 3D video and Radio Production.
If you need a consent form for your child, please print one off from the 'downloads' section of the web site.
Your child will arrive and leave school at the same time as usual and if there are any changes on the day we will inform the office.
Music at Southfield sees children enjoying a multitude of learning opportunities, both in and out of the classroom, learning to appreciate, compose and perform.
The ‘Wider Opportunities’ music scheme has enabled the school to acquire a full class set of brass instruments for year 4. Teaching is supported by outside practicioners and the class are taught as a full class set! In addition to class learning, peripatetic lessons and after school clubs see children learning flute, violins, guitars and percussion.
Have a look at the photographs below, they show Year 4 having plenty of fun and learning lots!
If you would like further information on the Wider Opportunities music project then please see Miss Maltby to arrange an appointment.
