Dear Parents, the Home Learning section that has been created to aid and support the education of our children will be updated in the weeks ahead.

This page will be consistently updated with general links to websites which all children can use. We ask that you approach these tasks in a stress free manner, you do not need to download and print every document as the children can work from reading the information on the screen.

We also understand that this is a very confusing and frightening time for us all and we do not wish to add to the stress by expecting completion of all the online activities, they are there simply to help.

Please be reassured that when normality is restored, as a school we will resume the teaching of our children as normal.

Good luck!

Sentinus Challenge - Week 10

This week is all about problem solving and planning. We challenge you to design and build a bridge that spans 30cm and is strong enough to hold weighted objects without collapsing. We haven't given you any ideas as to what materials to use or design - this one is up to you!

This week we want you to become a Structural Engineer. We challenge you to build a train track with some simple materials you should have at home. Have a go and let us know how you get on.

Week 8 - Sentinus Challenge

This is our 8th week of Sentinus challenges and this week we are focusing on MATHS!

Follow our instructions and complete the maths challenge, we think you will like this one. Partner up with a parent/sibling and see who wins. Good luck!

Week 7 - Sentinus Challenge

This week we are going to focus on the topic of the weather.
Follow the instructions for our first challenge to see what happens to the sea level (water) in the bag. This challenge may be something that you look at everyday this week, depending on how much sunlight there is.

Today (Wednesday) we are continuing our theme of the weather this week. We challenge you to make your own rain cloud. All of the instructions you need are on the pdf.

Today is the perfect day for this challenge as we are experiencing a drastic change in the weather. We challenge you to make your own barometer to examine the air's  pressure and see if it matches what is happening with the weather.

Follow the instructions on the attached pdf

Week 6 - Sentinus Challenge 

This week our subject topic is Biology.

Today’s challenge is to make your own DNA strand. Follow the instructions on the PowerPoint and use the template on the word document to complete the challenge. If you want to challenge yourself, you could research a bit more about DNA and why it is so interesting!

Welcome to week 5 of our Sentinus online challenges!

This week we are going to focus on Aeronautical Engineering. Follow the instructions to make a helicopter. Once you have the challenge completed and tested, send us your pictures/videos. Good luck!

Sentinus Challenge 1/5/20

Today's challenge is to bake! We want you to use your measurement skills and techniques to weigh ingredients to make whatever you want. We have attached a recipe but you don't have to stick to it, you may want to bake something of your own choice. We also have a video of the challenge on our TikTok profile (@sentinus_ni) which you can have a look at!

We can't wait to see your delicious treats and measuring skills.

Thanks,

Sentinus
