Crew Jackson: Practical science learning

Year 6 have been learning all about plant reproduction this morning. To build their background knowledge, the children explored informative videos, engaging reading materials, and class discussions about how flowering plants reproduce. With their curiosity sparked, they then had the opportunity to dissect lilies and carefully identify and label each part of the flower. Everyone worked together to deepen their understanding. Fun was had by all, and the pupils demonstrated excellent learning attitudes throughout the activity!

Nursery- Indian food tasting

To continue our learning about Diwali today we have listened to the story Shubh Diwali.

We then used our senses to smell, touch and taste some Indian foods. Some children showed courage by trying something new, you can see by their faces if they enjoyed the taste or not. Mango Chutney was a big hit with many children and they enjoyed dipping naan breads and popadoms into it.
