Science Council have had great fun this half term making pop and Mentos geysers, spooky cauldron mixtures, Halloween lights from milk bottles and experimenting with pencils being pierced through zip lock bags of water. It has been a fun half term that’s for sure.
We celebrated Roald Dahl Day on Wednesday 13th September. Staff and children were encouraged to wear yellow (because this was Roald Dahl’s favourite colour) and pay £1 for the Dahlicious charity. As well as finding out about Roald Dahl and his charity some of our lessons were linked to a Roald Dahl book.
One of the lessons was a competition. We read extracts from the BFG and then linked with this the children drew something in a jar, like the ones the BFG had, that they would like to see in a dream. We had great fun!
As part of their prehistoric art topic, the children in Year 3 have been up-scaling a drawing of an animal native to Britain using charcoal. We have been fascinated by cave paintings, which show how people lived in the Stone Age, and we wanted to create the texture of cave walls by breaking charcoal sticks and rubbing it all over our paper. We are really pleased with the results.
A group of 10 children from Year 3 were chosen to take part in the Golfways Skills Festival at Temple Park. For some children, this was the first time ever holding a golf club, but everyone had a fantastic time learning a new sporting skill. The children enjoyed the different challenges throughout and loved trying to beat their Personal Best Scores. Well done, Year 3!
Katie from Science Buddies, helped us understand how a piece of food travels through our digestive system, starting at our mouth and finishing at the rectum. We looked at the different parts of the body involved and the enzymes needed to aid the process.
Year 6 enjoyed their Leavers Party
Year 3 had lots of fun tie dying t-shirts as part of our art lessons.
