On Thursday 27th June, some children from years 1 and 2 took part in the Quad Kids competition.
The children took part in throwing, jumping and running events against other schools.

The children tried their absolute best in each event and made Suttons Primary very proud.
It was also lovely to see many 1st, 2nd and 3rd places achieved in many of the events by our pupils.

Results will be announced in due course.

Year 1MS - Problem Solving

How do architects make tall, beautiful looking buildings?
Year 1 were set the challenge of making a building using marshmallows and toothpicks. They had to ensure the building was strong enough to hold its own weight and it had to be 3D.

The children tried their best with the investigation and experimented with different sizes and shapes of the buildings.

How would you ensure your building was both strong and tall?
