Mr Baxter’s class toasting marshmallows – again!

Miss Langdown’s class in the woods
Miss Langdown’s class had a lovely time in the woods. The sun was shining, the spring flowers are out and the leaves are in bud. We have been talking about different materials in our outdoor science and we have decided that wood is the best material for bug hotels. It’s natural, it rots into the…
Miss Gobel’s class in the garden
Now that spring is here and it’s stopped raining, we need to get our garden ready for planting. Miss Gobel’s class worked hard at turning over the soil in our raised beds. We should be able to start planting next week.

Year 2 in the garden

We discussed how heating the batter changes it from a liquid to a solid, which isn’t what we normally expect when we heat something. We also agreed that cooking the pancake was an irreversible change…
Miss Powley’s class on the slackline
Miss Powley’s class made the most of a wet and windy day by practising their skills on the slackline. Everyone showed resilience and respect for each other. Everyone got better and better at balancing – well done!
