Happy New Year

Year 3 prepare for the Stone Age by classifying different types of rocks.

Today, in Science, we looked at our own teeth and then created our own scientific models using marshmallows.  Children then labelled the type of teeth and stated what the function of each. 

Today, the children learnt about the importance of 'Rainbow foods' in our diet and were encouraged to try new foods.  The children had lots of fun creating food collages inspired by the Italian artist, Guiseppe Arcimbaldo. 

Well done to Year 5 and Year 6 for attending a very successful and interesting collection of workshops held at the Boat Museum last week. There were many workshops ranging from computers, geography, science, design and technology and many more! Have a look at some of our pictures below!

Today, Year 6 were treated to a marvellous science workshop with Martin from Urenco.

We looked at using sieves, indicators, chronography and even centrifuge!

There were many inquisitive minds and hopefully one or two inspired scientists of the future!!

The Year 6 class had a 'BATTLE OF BEAKS' to determine which beak was best. This was inspired by Charles Darwin's 'variation' ideas through the famous finches!

Year 6 visited Chester Zoo as part of their learning about Charles Darwin and Evolution.  

Amazing Learning Log Space returned to Year 5 this week. 

In Reception this week we made bird feeders.

This week, Year 6 have become Ancient Egyptian embalmers. Human bodies are in high demand, so they used tomatoes instead.

Today, Year 5 and Year 6 have participated in a Hoops4Health workshop delivered by Cheshire Phoenix. They explained the importance eating health, exercising to keep fit (Basketball activities) and the dangers of smoking.

Water Water Everywhere!

The children in Year 3 have had a super day exploring Water.  They have learnt about the Water Cycle and how to conserve water.
