Investigating Sound

Sycamore class have been looking at sound in our science lessons. We have been thinking about the idea that sound is produced and travels through objects by vibrations. We loved making string telephones to show us how this works. We then investigated which materials might be the best to help soundproof a carboard box kennel for a toy dog!

Investigating Circuits

Beech class have been exploring electricity and circuits in their science lessons.

The winning house this week is… RED! Well done Reds! Red team can wear their own clothes on the first Friday back (11th June).

Teddy Bear Picnic

Chestnut Class have been learning all about Beatrix Potter and in particular the stories about Peter Rabbit. Today they had a teddy bear picnic, eating foods that Peter Rabbit would eat from Mr McGregor’s garden. The radishes weren’t very popular!

Kandinsky inspired artwork

Oak Class looked at the work of different artists, focusing mainly on Kandinsky. All of the artwork was based on circles. Oak Class had a go at recreating some of this artwork.

Forest Schools- Hedgehogs and Junk Modelling

Oak & Chestnut Class have been learning about hedgehogs in Forest Schools and talking about how to look after them. Oak Class have also been looking at the book On Sudden Hill which is about a group of friends who love changing boxes into all sorts of different things. We thought we would give this a go and as well as looking at hedgehogs we also had a go at turning junk into models!

Science- Growing Beans

Chestnut Class have been growing beans in bags and documenting their progress using a bean diary. We have had to move some of them because they are getting so big!

Paul Klee inspired artwork

Oak Class have done an incredible job of creating some artwork inspired by Paul Klee. They really brighten up the corridor!

Forest Schools-Measuring

Today in our Forest Schools session Oak and Chestnut Class used string to find trees with a circumference that was smaller, bigger and the same size as their piece of string. They then had to find some natural objects of different sizes and order them. We had some fantastic teamwork going on!
