Year 5 have had a great morning at Sirius Academy West
The children split into two groups, one group looked at rules for the science lab, what fireworks are made of, they then carried out some experiments with a bunsen burner.
The second group designed and launched a water rocket 🚀
Thank you for having us, we all had a great time

Thank you to Anna Harvatt from Reckitts, Anna visited Year 4 this afternoon.
The children loved Anna’s communication based activities, sharing messages about new concepts they created. The children learned that that are so many different job roles within STEM and that even some of the global leaders are right on our doorstep.

📚 A Special Visit to Acre Heads 📚
We were delighted to welcome Emma Hardy MP to Acre Heads today. She spent time visiting our Reading Retreat and was very impressed by the strong reading culture and the opportunities every child has to develop a love of books.
Emma spoke with our Reading Ambassadors, was interviewed by our Media Club, and enjoyed seeing phonics in Foundation Stage and reading across the school.
She left commenting on how amazing the children were and how much she enjoyed her visit.
Well done Acre Heads – you made us proud! ⭐📚
