Year 3 are visiting Avon Heath Country Park this week in order to investigate nature, with a particular emphasis on digestion. Today a wide variety of wildlife was viewed, including lizards, butterflies and insects.
Year 6 have the pleasure today of dissecting owl pellets in order to investigate the diet of owls. Many thanks to the Liberty Owl Centre for donating the pellets to us.
Science club started this afternoon – the children are busily experimenting with how to create bath bombs. Hockey, cookery, creative club and yoga are also all underway!
Year 5 were set the challenge to create a marble loop the loop today as an introduction to their forces topic. They worked collaboratively across classes and showed excellent teamwork within their groups. Mr Dighton was an excellent tester too.
5B had a wonderful overnight stay at the Novium museum in Chichester, all thanks to Ella who won a writing competition on the subject of star gazers and a dream space job. Here’s what she had to say about the experience:
“When all the lights were turned off and we were searching for clues with torches it was really fun. We went to all the different parts of the museum and solved the mystery that they set us… we did lots of other fun activities, like building rockets, before we went to sleep and before we had our breakfast. The midnight snack was great and we felt really special. I’m glad I entered the competition!”
