Science week

This week is science week in school and we are thinking all about colour. Yesterday, to start our science week, each year group came to school dressed in a colour from the rainbow and we made a whole school picture!

We have also been sorting different coloured water beads out. They are very hard to hold as they are so slippery and bouncy and it takes lots of concentration. 

We've been using the light box to make the colours of the rainbow and we've been trying to mix coloured panels to make different colours. 

This afternoon we went on a caterpillar hunt. There were lots of different coloured caterpillars (string) hidden on the grass and each child found one caterpillar each. Then we counted how many of each colour they found. The children found it easy to spot the yellow, blue and red caterpillars but it was much trickier to find the green and brown ones. We then had a little discussion about why some animals are different colours to protect them in the wild.

We have also set up an experiment using cups of coloured water but we will have to watch this one carefully to find out what might happen. 

Superstar

Well done to our superstar who was chosen for writing a full page of information about the chicks all by himself! 

Sunny weather

Whilst the weather is so lovely please remember to send your child into school with a sun hat that has got their name written clearly inside it.

If you would like to send a small bottle of sun cream to school with your child you may do, but please ensure it is clearly labelled with their name. Children must only use their own sun cream and nobody else's and they must be able to put it on themselves.

Water bottles are not necessary as we have water fountains in school that the children can use.

Thank you and enjoy the sun! 

Superstar

Well done to this week's superstar who was chosen for being a lovely and polite member of our class.

The chicks are growing

The chicks are growing up very quickly and are getting bigger each day. They eat a lot and drink a lot too so they are very messy and the pen needs to be cleaned out each day. The children are enjoying watching them change and I'm sure they will be bigger still on Monday. 

Superstars

Well done to the last two superstars who were chosen for showing lots of enthusiasm and tying her best.

And for always doing the right thing in school.
