Another fantastic half-term!

Class 8 have enjoyed another fantastic half term! Thank you to everyone who came and watched our class assembly! The children worked very hard, creating stop motion videos, learning about dragons and even creating their own dragon shadow puppets.

As Science week draws to a close, here are some photos of the activities we have been doing.

During the week, we have researched a scientist. We researched the scientist Marie Curie. We then shared what we had found out with children from Class 4!

Also, we became engineers for the afternoon, investigating the best possible structure to build a sturdy tower, using just marshmallows and spaghetti! Lots of children discovered that building a structure made of up triangles was the best possible solution. At the end, we judged each tower and even enjoyed eating some of the marshmallows!

On Wednesday, Michael Jones from Animal Care visited Class 8 and even brought along his border collie Buddy!

 

 

 

 

 

Dragon Invasion!

When we entered our classrooms yesterday morning, LKS2’s mouths dropped open! It seems over the Christmas holidays we had been invaded by a mysterious, mythical creature! The creature had left behind quite a mess including their distinctive, three-toed footprints!

Our visitor seemed to have left us a map, which gave us some clues regarding its whereabouts! We soon discovered we had been visited by a DRAGON!

The children are very excited about reading our class novel this half-term ‘How To Train Your Dragon!’

We have already written instructions on how to catch a dragon and even designed our own dragons!

 

We look forward to a very exciting Spring half-term!
