Geography
What is Soil made out of? The children got to experiment by mixing water with soil and mixing the jar up. After an hour we recorded our findings. We learnt that soil is the layer of loose material on the surface of Earth. Without soil, we would not be able to grow plants.
Look at what else we've been up to!!
Our First Projects this year!
We do lots of projects each year in the senior room and have learned a lot from doing them. We love doing them on our own or in groups or pairs. At first we were a little shy about presenting them to our classmates but now......its a breeze!! Here is just a little selection.
Halloween Dress Up!
We had lots of fun playing in our Halloween costumes!
Maths Week in the Senior Room
Our 2016 Maths Week was so much fun. We did lots of interesting activities such as target boards, puzzles, cipher wheels, graphs, shape puzzles and had a look at how maths is used in magic! The highlight of the week was our fun day on Thursday. We completed three stations- Maths Trail down the village, maths games online and a school data survey for our graphs, and more fun puzzles and games. Thanks to Ms Griffiths and the parent volunteers for all their help!
