TARDIS - Enrich
As part of the TARDIS cluster we provide opportunities for our children which aims to enrich their lives and relationships. Within this strand this year, we are offering the following opportunites:
- Maths in Motion - AGT maths opportunity to plan, design and build a race car using real life maths
- Science enrichment through links with Tarleton Academy for year 5/6
- Public Speaking competition for UKS2 to perform and persuade. In 2025 the topic is ' The greatest Invention of all time' See Enzo's presentation below.
- Sports quiz created by sports leaders in each school- updated through termly zoom meetings with all TARDiS sportsleaders
- Reporters who have been chosen in Year 5 ( see our pupil voice area) who are reporting on both schol and cluster events. Learning what it is like to be a journalist and how to report both in written, digital and spoken form.
- Spelling Bee
- Class 3 enter the poetry competition each year.
Maths in Motion Y6
Maths in Motion is where we are split into groups with children from other schools and we need to work together to create a Formula 1 car for a race on the Maths in Motion website. On the first week, by using a ruler and protractor, we had to measure the features on our race track, such as: Bends, Straights and The Special Feature - The Special Feature is like the normal features except you didn’t need to measure it and it was where you could go the fastest. Afterwards, you need to enter the information onto the group ChromBook.
The next week we needed set Workshop Adjustments where you figure out the right percent of how fast you can go on certain features, e.g. if tight bend was on 89 out of 100 and max tight bend speed was 155km, you needed to find out 89% of 155 and that’s how fast our safe speed was for that feature.
We really enjoyed the practice as it help get it right when it mattered and having multiple chances gave everyone a chance to improve. It was great to use maths eg.percentage , angles, measurements and see the importance.
