AECPS Join in UK Parliament Week 2024, by Mrs Walsh
Date: 28th Nov 2024 @ 11:07am
UK Parliament Week is a week-long national programme that aims to get the public to engage with the country's democratic systems and institutions.
Once again, all the children at AECPS have joined in learning about our country's rules, British Values and how we are goverened.
The topic of democracy plays an key element in the PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic) programme, which is incorporated into the school curriculum. This provides children with an understanding of how the democratic system works so they can make an impact on the issues they care about.
Last week, our children gained further understanding of how the Britain democracy works. They had a greater understanding of what it is like to vote and how the election process works through their Class Council.
As young people are the future change-makers, we hope that the UK Parliament Week has inspired our children to get more involved in politics in the future.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Mr Brierley and Rosehill Furnishings Group for kindly donating 2 full sets of new classroom furniture to our school.

Year 6 Experts on Electricity, by Mrs Walsh
Date: 19th Nov 2024 @ 1:13pm
During science, Year 6 have had lots of fun been about current and static electricity. They are now aware that current electricity is what powers our devices. It is the movement of electrons from atom to atom around a circuit. This movement happens at the speed of light.
They also have learned how friction between two objects creates a movement of electrons between the objects that changes their electrical charge: losing electrons makes the objects positively charged and gaining them makes the object negatively charged.
They also learnt how to: use recognised symbols when representing a simple circuit in a diagram by recognising and drawing scientific circuit symbols accurately and how to draw scientific circuit symbols accurately.
They used their new knowledge to design and make their own circuits.
