We have been investigating mechanisms today, using simple materials to make moving parts.

Tamarisk have been exploring how electricity flows through a circuit.  We talked about safety too and how we must NEVER interfere with electricity in the home.

We had great fun building bug hotels in the school grounds.  Thank you for all your support from home sending in materials for the children to construct with.

Science during Autumn 1 took us outside every week come rain or shine.  (Mostly rain)

We hunted down bugs, classified them, researched different habitats, explored pond life and even made new bug hotels on the school grounds.  Thank you to everyone at home who sent items in.

The weather can't stop us!  Our PE focus in Autumn 1 was athletics.  We set up circuits inside to work on hurdles, sprinting, aim or throw and javelin.  We took it very seriously!

We looked fantastic, rocking spots everywhere on Friday to celebrate the wonderful fund raising event of Children in Need.  We followed Joe Wicks in his final countdown to achieving a full 24 hours of exercise.

On Friday we investigated how to light a simple bulb.  We talked about what electricity is, how it flows and the need for a closed circuit.  We also talked about safety and how we must NEVER experiment with electricity in our homes.
