School Trip Day!

13th October 2022A Welburn

We’ve had such an amazing time on our school trip today! We’ve made fries and took them to the enchanted forest, searched for bears in the woods and made porridge for our Goldilocks and the Three Bears story. Our teachers were really impressed with our listening ears and looking eyes to make sure we were being safe and working hard, and Sharon from Austerfield Study Centre said that she had loved having us for the day! We can’t wait until our next trip 🚌

Foundation Stage’s Biscuit Sale!

13th October 2022A Welburn

Don’t forget to bring your pennies for Foundation Stage’s biscuit sale tomorrow! We’re raising money as part of our expedition for the charity ‘Changing Lives’. We’re hoping to be able to donate some teddy bears to the charity for children who might not have a teddy bear at home to snuggle 🧸

The sale will take place at the end of school tomorrow outside the front of school – we can’t wait to see you all!

Scotty’s Heroes – Shelters

13th October 2022Ruth Shields

Massive well done to Crew Shields for their great work in Scotty’s heroes. The children were learning how to build a shelter which would protect them from the elements. They really enjoy Scotty’s Heroes because it’s teaching them great life skills.

Investigating gravity in MI

11th October 2022Stacey McClare

Today we looked at a Newton meter and measured the force acting on different objects. We worked collaboratively to do this and used the scale to read the amount of newtons.

Using our knowledge so far we then thought about what we could do to test gravity. This became our aim. This was what we wanted to find out. We then thought about what a hypothesis was and its purpose. We thought about how this would help our investigation. We then wrote our own hypothesis.

From here we took part in the investigation testing out our aim and hypothesis. You can see us in action below… We were all shocked by what we found out!

Thank you.

Exploring types of forces in MI

10th October 2022Stacey McClare

Today we started to explore and discuss forces in our expedition lessons. We watched a variety of different clips to understand what a force is and the different types. We then became active and showed both gravity and friction in different ways. We then used the knowledge we had gained to create our own anchor chart for our working wall on the different types of forces. We showed great collaborative working and supported our partner well.

Porridge tasting in Crew Nursery!

10th October 2022Toni Ferguson

The children had the chance to taste porridge this morning. It was lovely. Like the three bears we had to wait for it to cool down so while we waited we spoke about the different toppings.

Once cool the children tried chocolate chips, honey and strawberry jam on top. As a crew we then created a bar chart to show which was our favourite topping.

We have enjoyed taste testing this morning.
