Quick snapshots of Science in action.

Looking tired after our Inter-house Athletics day on Monday 26th November.

In our Science topic on 'Rocks and Soils' we tested the permeability of different rocks. This is how close together the particles of the rock are, allowing water to get through. The children came up with some good ideas for testing the rocks but we finally went with using a pipette and squeezing water over them and timing what happened with a stopwatch. Most children found chalk, limestone and sandstone to be most permeable. Slate was one of the least permeable.

We have been learning about the native tribes people who live in the rainforests. There are around 50,000,000 native people living in rainforests around the world today. We leaned the reasons why they paint thier faces and bodies. We also discussed the types of things they would make the face paints out of: such as berries, fruits, leaves, flowers, plants and mud.

We used factory made face paints to recreate tribal faces. Come into class to see our individual pictures when they are put up later in the week.

Dear Parents,

Dear Parents,

Our class Christmas Party will be on the afternoon of Tuesday 11th December. As from today there will be a food sign up sheet on the door. Please sign up to bring in one small plate of food or drink from the list given. If it is cold food it may be brought in by your child in the morning. Hot food may be dropped off between 12 and 1pm.

I regret that due to space limitations, parents will not be invited to attend. However, if you wish to get some photos you can come in 10 minutes before pick up time at 2.20pm.
Many thanks
Ms Andrea
