We only went and won !!!

This morning we made stained glass baubles to decorate our school Christmas tree. Thank you to all our parents for giving up their time to help us. Our baubles look beautiful.

After designing our own African Mask we have now entered the making phase. Step 1 was to create our mask outline in cardboard. Step 2 was covering the whole mask in Modroc which is a plaster product that  hardens as it dries. Keep watching for Step 3 (coming soon). 

In Science we dissected Oriental Lilies and Alstroemeria flowers to find all the parts of the flower we had learned about in our pollination and fertilisation lessons. We were amazed at how small some of the parts actually were. 

Today we started our Bible Explorer sessions with Sutty and Ruth from ‘Sports Reach’ and ‘Walk Through the Bible’. As part of our Bible topic in RE, they are teaching us some of the key stories from the Old Testament. Today we learnt about the story of creation, Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden,…

Today we went into Dorrington Woods to use natural materials to create a floating raft that would carry pennies without sinking. 
We talked about what might float or sink and why first. Then working in small groups we collected natural materials and built a raft. The only thing Kate gave us was…

Today we looked at lots of different versions of Bibles. We were amazed at the different names they were given like The Adventure Bible and The Message. They also had very different covers. Lots of us liked the colourful ones and they reminded us of the bright colours in creation.  Some of the…

Today we helped our Reception buddies to ice and decorate a biscuit. After we had finished our decorating we were allowed to eat our creative masterpieces in the playground. 
It has been lovely to get to know our new friends and we are looking forward to meeting up again very soon.
