Stanhope Primary School

We held our second House Competitions of this academic year – in Phase 2 and 1 we united to compete in Sportshall Athletics. Each team completing relays, javelin, long jump, chest push and speed bounce events.

The Phase 1 and 2 Quiz included the children worked together to answer quiz questions around maths, English and general knowledge topics. They then worked together to find locations around the world on a map.

The Phase 1 and 2 STEM Challenges: The Phase 1 Challenge was to make the biggest paper chain possible in the time limit given. The children had a sheet of paper, two pairs of scissors, a glue stick and sellotape. The rest was down to the organisation and production of the team. We were so impressed with how well the children worked together to engineer their paper chains. They had fun and definitely took on the challenge.

Phase 2 had to design, make and launch rockets, with the longest distance reached being the winners.

Phase 1 were really were competitive when completing various relays.

Here are a small selection of photos from the various events…please see Facebook for more.

Overall Winners were Yellow House.
