We are very excited that we have had 10 eggs delivered today in reception. We are hopeful that these eggs will hatch and then we will have some chicks in our classroom by the end of the week.
We will keep you posted on the progress of this and what we find out this week.

The children learnt today about different forces and how they are a push or a pull. They then had the opportunity to work in teams to test the theory out with air (inside a balloon) pushing on air outside of the balloon to see what would happen. There was lots of fun and laughter but also lots of great learning! Super work class 8, hope you enjoyed our first experiment of science week!
To kick-start our science week, Class 10 have been busy investigating light! We started with researching light and shadow through photography on the playground and then we held an experiment in the classroom to see if light could bend through a series of holes. Why not ask us about our findings … did the light bend or did it travel in a straight line?

What do you already know about changing state?
Build your knowledge by watching the video and link below:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/articles/zwj9r2p#zwthhcw
Can you demonstrate changing state with something you have at home?
E.g. You could freeze water and melt ice cubes, melt chocolate, boil water etc. Take photographs and send to your class teacher so we can celebrate your science learning!
Keep an eye out on the blog for tomorrows extended study challenge.
Keep a look out on the blog this week for what we will be getting up to in our science weeks. We are planning to inspire the children with scientific experiments and visitors with scientific professions! We are very excited to see what the children know already and what they learn!

Thank you so much to Thorne council who are trying to make our park a much better place for the children in our community. Green Top were invited to go along and help with some planting, putting up bird boxes and fairy houses, as well as talking to the workers at the play area and painting some stones that they will hide around the park for other people to find!
It was honestly such a great experience this morning and such an honour to be invited.
We can’t wait for the grand opening now!
