Class 10 have been rock detectives this afternoon. We have been investigating the properties of different rocks to decide which ones would be best for a specific job such as roof tiles or statues. Everyone has worked hard to complete the investigation sheets and I think everyones favourite test was the white vinegar test. Great work from everyone this afternoon. Mrs Pearson and I are very proud of you all!
Here are our wonderful out of this world winners for this week…some gorgeous things said about this lovely lot and clearly very well deserved! Looking forward to seeing who gets it next week! Keep working hard guys.
Here are class 10s completed scrap tornadoes with their poems included and backed on display! They really do look amazing, great job again guys!!
My favorite words and phrases from these are ‘winding winds’, ‘dashing’, ‘gusting’, ‘overpowered’, ‘column of air’, and ‘Devastating destruction’. Some amazing description, yet so simple! ☺️🌪️
It was our first week back at science club this week and we made our own wind socks. We learnt that the wind direction is the opposite to the way the sock is blowing.
Today, Class 11 have been building even more knowledge about rocks. We tested the different types of rocks and the durability, permeability and many other aspects of them. We loved getting hands on and had a great time using sand paper and pipette’s.
In expedition, we have been carrying out a experiment to test seven different rocks in a number of different scenarios; chalk, sandstone, limestone, marble, slate, granite and basalt. We had to test the the hardness, durability, permeability and resistance to acid for each of the rocks and say whether or not they were suitable for certain scenarios before giving them a rating out of 5.
In maths this week, we have been looking at shape and geometry, more specifically triangles. We learnt that different triangles have different properties and began to sort them based on their properties. We then used art straws to create the different triangles; right-angled, equilateral, scalene and isosceles.
Today in Nursery we had so much fun exploring different vehicles and painting with them
I wonder what else we can paint with?
The first ks1 maths club this week was awesome ! We had children challenging themselves with different arithmetic activities, some children got to go on TT rockstars which is always enjoyed by everyone.
Well done everyone, can’t wait for next week! 😁
Well done to this week’s Star Readers. So many positive things to hear about your reading this week!
