Magnificent Magna
On Tuesday, we were able to explore science at Magna. This was extremely interactive and allowed children to experience lots of new things. We completed a workshop where we could investigate different types of rocks before creating a volcanic eruption. Then we built up the volcano using play dough which helped us understand the different layers. When we had finished, we took a sample just like a scientist so we could see how scientists study volcanoes and how they know how many times they’ve erupted. There was lots of walking so lots of tired legs when we returned to the coach. A great trip out to help us learn.
Magna Trip
Fieldwork to Magna in LKS2
Such an incredible day at Magna Science Adventure Centre! We loved exploring the 4 different pavilions- Air, Earth, Fire and Water! It was hard getting children to leave each area! We also loved the interactive workshop where we explored and identified some common rocks. We also used modelling clay to track the classic vinegar and baking soda ‘eruption’. We even took a core sample through our models. Children we so engaged and interested in everything we did and this trip has really kickstarted our summer expedition.

World Book Day!
The children have loved dressing up in their favourite characters for world day and we have been super impressed with the paper plates designs. Crew F2 have also enjoyed spending time with the older children reading to them. They were really impressed and can not wait to be able to read as well as them!
Final Product Creations
The children have been using their creative skills in expedition. Using fine motor movements and discussing the features of plants, to create water colour paintings with a range of lines and shapes that will be used within the community. Well done F2.
Writing Skills.
The children have been working super hard on their writing skills. Now in a morning they write their names, numbers to 10, and now affirmation sentences. They have been amazing at recalling the properties of a sentence such as adding a full stop at the end. Well done crew F2.
Flower Gardens
After reading the anywhere garden story we decided to make our very own, using play dough as a base for our gardens, the children used their fine motor, creative, and friendship skills to create many different versions.
Observational drawing
The Children have really enjoyed learning the parts of a flower today in their expedition. Once learning the plant parts song, the children have created independent observational drawings. They have loved smelling and feeling the flowers and couldn’t wait to explore them more!
