Class 11 plant experiment! 🌱💦

Class 11 have been looking at how water is transported through plants. We learned that plants have a special method, called xylem, which pushes the water up through the stem. We then learned about transpiration, which means that water evaporates and is recycled into the soil, to be used again. We used some fantastic vocabulary in our predictions. We’re testing how water transports through celery, with food colouring to show this. We think that the celery should turn red, because the water should travel up through the celery. Class 11 are excited to see how this looks on Monday!

Geography club

After learning about the layers of the earth last week, we took a more detailed look at our Earth’s crust today. Learning that it is made up of the continental crust and the oceanic crust and what makes up these layers (mostly different types of rock). Here is the way they have captured their learning this week. Next week we are looking at what surrounds the Earth, our atmosphere (and believe it or not, that’s also in layers!).

Maths Masters! 🔢

Class 11 worked super hard on their fractions in maths today. It was such a great vibe, as we worked collaboratively on working out the amounts within a fraction. Some of our experts helped the rest of us feel more confident with this skill and helped to make sure that we were all experts by the end. Keep up the great work guys, you were superb!

Benji the superstar!

Benji completed one of the activities from Maths Challenge 2 yesterday and looked around his home for lots of 3D shapes! Benji managed to find 19 cylinder shapes in 5 minutes! He also found 14 spheres, 2 cuboids and some cone shapes! What fantastic work, Benji! 100 Work Hard and Get Smart points!
