Year 3 WOW
Year 3 had their WOW day for the new ‘Burps, Bottoms and Bile’ topic yesterday. Alongside Scientific testing centred around the heart and breathing, the children added major internal organs to blank vests and created representations of human skeletons.
Building Bridges
Year 5 built bridges today as part of their investigations into materials and forces.
Science Centre
Year 5 ventured to the Science Centre near Winchester yesterday. The visit reinforced learning from across the Science curriculum that the children have covered this year: materials, space, forces and magnets.
Blue Abyss WOW!
Two classes travelled to Weymouth yesterday to visit the Sealife Centre in connection with their ‘Blue Abyss’ topic. Two other classes will travel into the depths this Friday!
Year 3 WOW day
Year 3 enjoyed a wide variety of experiences related to their ‘Flow’ topic about rivers and water today. They were introduced to the water cycle, created river themed music using a pentatonic scale and painted pictures in an impressionist style, using Monet’s work as inspiration. The children also attended a ‘Water Wise’ session led by a visiting expert, where they learned about cleaning and testing water.
Dissection
Many thanks to Dr Gemmell who supported in Year 6 with their ‘Blood Heart’ topic this afternoon. The pupils were captivated at the live dissection of the heart and learned a huge amount about the role of this organ in the human body’s circulatory system.
