So far this week, to celebrate aspirations, we’ve been very lucky to have some great visitors that have shared their skills and jobs. We’ve been visited by Sarah and Geoff who both work within the XP Trust and have very different job roles; Victoria from Body Rockers, James Fenwick who is a fire-fighter and Cameron Robertson who is a Hotel Director onboard cruise ships. The children loved learning about each person and asked some great questions – thank you so much to you all!

Also this week, we’ve completed our XP Outdoors Crew task and used leaf printing to create a Crew banner. We’re looking forward to hanging it in our Crew Room after the Easter holidays.

On Tuesday, we investigated whether height affected the distance that you can jump. We predicted that the taller you are the further that you could travel. However, after carrying out the experiment and using tape measures to measure the distance, we found that it didn’t matter how tall you was and was surprised to see that some of the shorter people in our Crew jumped the furthest.

This morning, to kick start Science Week, we investigated our fingerprints and what they are used for. We identified that everyone’s fingertips are different even though they can sometimes look very similar.

We then used lead to record our finger prints and observe what patterns we could see in them. There was lots of Arch, Loop and Whorl prints in our Crew.

I can see lots of future Police Investigators from Crew Myers – Great job everyone!
