Gifted and Talented Y2 pupils at Alderman Swindell School took part in Exchange Radio 87.7 fm.  After having received their training from Hospital Radio Norwich the children worked with Mr. Nash, School’s Gifted and Talented Mentor who works in school each Thursday as part of the Partnership of East Norfolk Schools (PENS) Gifted and Talented programme.  They produced an hour long broadcast and on Thursday 25^th March an excited group of prospective broadcasters headed to Norwich to broadcast live.  The programme was a great success and the children readily shared about the experience with the rest of the school during assembly the following day.  So watch out you might well be hearing from these voices in the future.

Families of children at Alderman Swindell Nursery worked together at home to produce these fantastic models around the theme “Fairy tales”.  The children were very proud of what they had made from castles to toadstools including the Billy Goats Gruff, complete with scary troll.         

Children and parents took part in a wide range of exciting activities to promote learning in Science and Engineering.

In Foundation Stage, science-related activities included making jelly, metal detecting, blowing bubbles, making sounds, floating and sinking and making toast.

Year 1 children learned about Mini Monsters through a handling session which included giant cockroaches!

Year 2 children built and launched their own rockets. Children in Yellow Class also enjoyed a workshop on 'Changes'. Amongst other things, they had a go at chromatography and testing acids and alkalis.
