In maths, we have been problem solving decimals, fractions and their equivalents, and assessing so that Mrs Tillson can see our progress. Mrs Tillson is optimistic! We got an unexpected cricket session with Matt this week due to Oak class being at Bewerley Park, which we were delighted about! Today, it's non-uniform day in aid of chocolate donations for FoSS' Easter bingo. So much chocolate! In science, we have been looking at the effects of air resistance by making little parachutes for eggs and dropping them from a height. Great fun! ### Air Resistance [![](https://files.schudio.com/stakesby-community-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/17816/DSC02254.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/stakesby-community-primary-school-2/images/gallery/17816/DSC02254.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/stakesby-community-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/17816/DSC02256.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/stakesby-community-primary-school-2/images/gallery/17816/DSC02256.JPG) [![](https://files.schudio.com/stakesby-community-primary-school-2/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/17816/DSC02257.JPG)](https://files.schudio.com/stakesby-community-primary-school-2/images/gallery/17816/DSC02257.JPG) [ Week beginning 12/03/18](https://stakesbyschool.net/blog/2018-03-15-16-34-00-week-beginning-12-03-18) [Open Day ](https://stakesbyschool.net/blog/2018-03-22-16-39-53-open-day) ![Stakesby Primary Academy](https://files.schudio.com/stakesby-community-primary-school-2/images/logo/StakesbyPrimary-Logo.png) ### Stakesby Primary Academy Byland Road Whitby North Yorkshire YO21 1HY 01947 820231 - [Enquire Learning Trust ](https://www.enquirelearningtrust.org/) - [Facebook Feed](https://www.facebook.com/stakesbyprimaryacademy/) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stakesbyprimaryacademy/) © Copyright 2026 Stakesby Primary Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stakesbyschool.net/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
