Science-Electricity
In science we have been making circuits to investigate voltage and the impact this has on the brightness of a bulb.
WW2 Day
To engage pupils in our WW2 topic, we dressed up as evacuees with tags and gas masks. We also built shelters, looked at some real WW2 artefacts and tried some war-style food.
National Poetry Day 2024
To celebrate National Poetry Day, we studied and performed the Shakespearean poem, 'The Witches' Spell' from Macbeth.
Forest School
In forest school we have been making our own mallets out of wood using a range of tools.
Science
In science, we have been investigating light and its properties. We made shadow puppets and investigated how the size of the shadows changed when we moved the puppet closer and further from the light source. To learn about reflection, we made a maze and used mirrors to reflect light through it. We also made periscpoes out of different materials to investigate which material was the most reflective. We have been learning about refraction and investigated how it caused the light to change direction.
