Stargazing at Gateford
Wed 05 Mar 2014Thank you to all the children, parents and friends of Gateford who came along to gaze at the stars with the Bassetlaw Astronomical Society on Tuesday evening. With beautiful clear skies we were treated to an amazing spectacle of moon craters, nebulae and Jupiter with its moons.
After an informative talk about the night sky we all filed outside and queued up to have our chance to look through one or more of the powerful telescopes brought along by the society members.
Then it was time for a tasty rocketdog and planetcakes! Yummy!
We hope to see lots of you at the next space event on Thursday. Come along and help your child/ren to build a junk spaceship in the hall from 1.30pm. See you there!

Space Week - Day 2
Tue 04 Mar 2014Today was Star Day and we had visitors from the Bassetlaw Astronomical Society. They told us all about what we can see in the night sky at the moment and also taught us lots about our solar system. Each class spent half an hour with the really enthusiastic members of the society and had the chance to ask lots of interesting questions.

Space Week - Day 1
Mon 03 Mar 2014The countdown is over. Space Week 2014 is here.
Today the children from KS2 worked with Dr Roberts from Nottingham University. Year 3 and 4 found out just how big space is and year 5 and 6 investigated how difficult it was to fly to the moon.
Check out the photographs below.
Day 2 = Star Day. Mr Whyles from the Bassetlaw Astronomical Society will be here all day working with the children and helping them to find out about the sky at night. Why not come along at 6.30pm with your child/ren to find out more and hopefully to look at the stars. Fingers crossed for a clear evening sky. The PTFA have kindly offered to come along and sell hot dogs and drinks to keep us going. Please come along and support the event.

Safer Internet Day
Tue 11 Feb 2014What a brilliant day we had on Safer Internet Day.
All of the children learned about keeping ourselves safer on the internet and how to deal with some of the dangers we might meet when we are online.
Children in Year 6 designed their own fantastic apps to help children to stay safer on the internet. They are showing them proudly in the photograph.
We reminded ourselves that if we ever find something on the internet that upsets us or makes us worry, we should always tell a grown-up who we trust, either at home or at school.
Information for grown-ups is available at thinkuknow.co.uk or ceop.police.uk
Working together, we can help to make the world a safer place for all of our children.
