This week we have had great fun working in our Nature Journal. 

"We used all things from nature on the ground to build a nest for our imaginary birds. We had to work as part of a team and think of an imaginary bird to design a nest that we thought was good for that type of bird. We had great fun working as a team." by Lucy

Monday 25th November

This week in Science and Nature we have been looking at what a herbivore, carnivore and omnivore is and what they might eat. We played a sorting activity.  Also we looked at how sycamore seeds spin and then we made our own with paper, scissors and a paper clip. We folded the paper and cut it and threw it into the air. It span, even if we tipped it up it corrected itself!! It was an enjoyable activity (by Millie and Rhys).

Friday 15th November

Last week was Children in Need day. We all dressed up in our pyjamas and had some fun exercising with Joe Wicks. We did some Pudsey bear colouring and the school raised over £200 for Children in Need.

Monday 11th November

This week in Science we were looking at rocks to see if they could float and see if they fizzed when they were in vinegar (a type of acid). We looked at limestone, slate and chalk. In the classroom we were looking at fossils to see what their features were. It was extremely amazing!! (by Eva and Otis).

This week we held elections using the British Value of democracy, which means by the people. The class voted and these children were elected: Lucy and Rhys as Eco Warriors and Otis and Alanna for our school council. Well done to our representatives! 

OUR STONE AGE DAY!...

We have been doing lots of fun stuff in our work about the Stone Age. Last week we had a whole Stone Age day!! Parents came in to help us and we all dressed up in Stone Age costumes! In the morning we had Initiate Theater come in and we did some acting out of Stone Age scenes. In the afternoon we made Stone Age pudding with berries, Stone Henge out of biscuits, learned about Stone Age animal and even did some cave painting. We also sat around the camp fire and read "How to Wash a Woolly Mammoth". At the end of the day we ate Stone Henge!! What will the archaeologists say?!
