Sublime Science

By Miss T LITHERLAND17th March 2022

To kick start science week, the whole school had a visit from Sublime Science.

All children throughout the school had the opportunity to participate in fun and interactive workshops hosted by a great scientist called Harry. He was amazing and carried out some brilliant experiments like putting a skewer through a balloon which didn’t pop!!!  He showed us how to defy gravity and swung a bucket of water around his head and it didn’t spill!

We all had such a great time and it made us want to continue learning about science! Some of us said that we would definitely be carrying out a science activity at home for our #ScienceSelfie competition!

 

 

Forest School Fun!

By Jodie Buss9th March 2022

The sun shone for ‘Forest School’ this week as we had great fun in our first session back!

We loved getting our hands dirty and muddy planting and sowing seeds in our outdoor area! We talked about good places to plant seeds and the things they needed to grow. We looked at lots of different texts about Spring and looked out for signs all around us as we planted ready for Summer. This week in Literacy we have been reading ‘Oliver’s Vegetables‘ so we used our knowledge to plant our very own carrots, peas, broad-beans, beetroot and sunflowers! We discussed what we thought might happen to them over the coming weeks and how we would care for them. We had a go at pretending to be sunflowers ourselves, starting as a small seed and shooting up tall with our hands as wide as leaves!

We also had great fun planting some trees, ready to expand our outdoor forest area! We loved finding out about different types of trees, Birch and Oak, and talked about the roots and the very important job they do!

We loved getting physical using trowels, spades and rakes and loved coming together to work as a team!
