The Bluebells have worked very hard this week creating biscuits to sell at the Christmas Market. We used fondant icing and cake decorations to make them look like Christmas baubles.
We are selling them for £1 a bag on Saturday

The Bluebells class learned about where strawberries come from. We looked at where they grow on the map and how they start from a strawberry plant and turn into a juicy red strawberry.

The Bluebells class enjoyed a spooky science experiment. We submerged chicken bones in vinegar and left them for a few days. When they came out, we were amazed that the chicken bones had became soft and bendable!

The Bluebells class loved carving our Halloween pumpkin. As a class, we brainstormed some ideas of what we could carve into our class pumpkin and finally agreed on a ghost. We all enjoyed exploring what was inside the pumpkin, some pupils choosing to do this using a spoon or some being brave enough to scoop the pumpkin seeds out using their hands.

The Bluebells class loved going on an autumn leaf hunt in the Dean Park. They had to search for autumn coloured leaves. We were lucky enough to see some falling from the trees as it was quite a windy day. We gathered lots of coloured leaves and have brought them back to class to make an autumn art collage.

The Bluebells class enjoyed decorating some green themed cupcakes ahead of Macmillan on Friday. We used green icing which we had to roll and cut into circles. We also got to be creative using the gel pens and used sprinkles and green smarties.
