Space seeds

On Monday we went to water the space seeds and we noticed that 13 red seeds and 13 blue seeds had germanated. We were all amazed. The 26 space seeds that have germanated had 2 leaves each. We still have no idea which ones are from the ISS.

Rocket Science

This week we were so excited to receive our batches of rocket seeds. Two packets of seeds were delivered: one blue, one red. We do not know which packet has spent 6 months on the ISS. There are strict instructions on how to carry out the investigation. Mrs Gartside helped us plant the 200 seeds and now we’re carefully monitoring them.

Tri-golf Assembly

On Monday, we were lucky to have a visit from a Tri-golf instructor to demonstrate how to play. Several children were chosen to show their skills and try to get a ball in to a box. Years 3, 4 and 5 will be having sessions on Tri-golf. We can’t wait!

   
    
 
  
 

Learning about our shadows in spring.

Today, we went on a spring learning walk and used our ‘sticky bracelets’ to collect items that made us think of spring. We then made our own shadow faces! We worked in pairs to find our shadows and drew eyes on and then used natural resources to make their nose, mouth and hair.    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
 

Fizzy Tots PE

Over the summer term, we have Early Years PE specialists coming in to teach the children a different themed PE lesson each week. This week was all about how we travel to different places. We worked on our balancing and movement skills in different activities.

    
    
    
    
    
 

The water cycle experiment

This week Year 5 have been learning about the water cycle. We made our own water cycle in a bottle. Jacob wanted to know why rain didn’t taste salty if it had evaporated from the sea. We decided to extend our experiment to see if this is true. By adding salt to the water, we were able to see if there was still salt in the rain we produced. Jacob tested our results and said there wasn’t any. We concluded that the salt must stay in the sea.
