Paul Chrystal Author Visit (13.6.22) 📚

13th June 2022Simon Gerrard

Today, LKS2 were very lucky to have local author Paul Chrystal lead a discussion about our Guiding Question. Mr Chrystal has published over 120 books and we wanted to get his expertise on sweets, of which he had tonnes of knowledge to offer. During the talk, Mr Chrystal looked answered the Guiding Question ‘Why is sugar not so sweet?’ through a health angle. He talked us through how sugar is not always the healthiest, even though we all love sweets.

Thanks for a great talk Mr Chrystal, I know LKS2 appreciated the knowledge and tips to enjoy sweets healthily. Check out our images below for how the talk looked! 😆

LKS2 Jars!

13th June 2022Simon Gerrard

Hi everyone,

As part of our Expedition, we are hoping that instead of recycling your jam jars, Year 3 and 4 would be able to have them!

They could be the size of jam jars, preferably, as a reference.

Thank you in advance,

Crew LKS2 🙂

Today we started planning our newspaper reports. We thought about a catchy headline and tried to use alliteration. We thought about the 5 W’s creating our introduction. When then chotted down ideas for PP1 and PP2. Great work by all this morning 🙂

Science in MI

10th June 2022Stacey McClare

This week in our expedition lessons we took part in a science experiment that linked to the work we have done around the heart. We took part in some physical activity and recorded our heart rate after different amounts of exercise. We then analysed our results and discussed the effect of exercise on the heart and our daily lives.
