Science-testing materials
This afternoon the children discussed ways of making a fair test and set about testing which material was the bounciest! They rolled various balls of different materials down the ramps and measured the rebound to determine the winner!
An Autumn Exploration Walk!
Class 1 have had an lovely autumn exploration this afternoon around our beautiful school grounds to tick off the first signs of autumn. The children used their amazing sense of sight and spotted orange, brown and red leaves, mushrooms, berries and sweet chestnuts.
It was such a lovely…
Shadow Investigation
We have been investigating shadows in Science. We positioned the torch at different distances from a whiteboard and marked where the shadow reached. We drew conclusions from our investigation that the further away the torch was, the bigger the shadow. We will continue to investigate shadows next…

We have been learning about the famous Austrian architect Hundertwasser.
Art - hues and shades

Lego club
Some fantastic builds in Lego club this week. Our build challenge was ‘vehicles’ and we had some wonderfully imaginative creations!
Science- Materials

Our fantastic families!
This afternoon in our topic session we have been thinking about families and spoke about how families come in all different shapes and sizes, which is what makes our own families so special!
We looked at pictures of different families and talked about our own families and who lives with us in…
