Science Week Fun, by Mr Pugh

Date: 8th Mar 2024 @ 3:56pm

We had an incredible Science Week. Class One explored sound, healthy teeth and what we should feed the birds. Class Two drummed and learnt about habitats. Class Three classified animals and learnt all about birds. Class Four looked after Tea Bag Babies, compared heights and shoe sixe, learnt about Charles Darwin and investigated bird's beaks. On Friday we brought in our Science boxes and talked to our classmates about what we had learnt. We were also visited by lots of parents who came to see what we had been doing. Everyone who worked hard was given a ticket for interesting questions and answers, careful investigations and thoughtful scientific thinking. The tickets were drawn out and books and a science set were given as prizes.

Building Stable Structures, by Miss Hughes

Class 2 spent this afternoon having a go at building the chair they designed last week, for a teddy bear to sit on. They watched Mr Hellier demonstrate how to join the tubes and columns they created last week to make a stable structure, reinforced where needed with stronger materials (card).

UPDATED: We have now made our chairs, and are so proud of them!! Mostly, Mr Hellier and Miss Hughes are proud of how we have been working in pairs and teams to achieve a goal together, and developing our fine motor skills.
