Miss Hedges ran out of time before Half Term to add this to the blog.

In Base 8 the children were learning about what plants need to grow and have enjoyed creating their own experiment to see whether their beans will grow without soil.

Butterflies!

As you know Reception have been learning about the life cycle of a caterpillar and over half term we had some very exciting news! The caterpillars became butterflies!

The children were all very excited to see them in the butterfly garden and this morning we took them to the forest at the back of our school and watched them fly away!

Year 2 have been using daisies this morning for an interesting Maths Investigation.

Eden and Isabella explained to me what they were doing to find out the answer.

The children were all working hard and looking forward to analysing the results later on in the lesson.

Year Two made the most of a sunny day to plant some seeds outside. We look forward to watching how they grow. The boys in the first video will tell you a bit more about what is happening!

The Rainhill Trials was an important competition run in October 1829 to test George Stephenson’s argument that locomotives would provide the best motive power for the nearly completed Liverpool and Manchester Railway.

Stephenson’s Rocket was the only locomotive to complete the trials, and was declared the winner.

Base 8 have loved learning about the Rainhill Trials and in challenge time designed and made their own steam engines before recreating the competition in school.

Reception are looking at the life cycle of a butterfly and we have a butterfly garden in the classroom.

The children are very excited to watch all the changes.

Alina tells us a bit more about it in her video.
