The Moonbeams class loved our social outing to Dean Park. We had a nice picnic snack, met some of the animals, braved the new large playground area and threw objects in the water and observed whether they floated or sank.

The Middle Primary corridor have began our problem solving term during Maths Streaming. Today, we had a challenge of creating a balancing robot. We had to colour our robots in and tried really hard to stay within the lines. Then we used 1p coins and had to work out where to stick them so that our robot would balance. We had fun balancing them on our fingers and even on our noses!

The Moonbeams class have enjoyed observing changes over the week to our eggs during our science experiment.
On Monday we put raw eggs into jars of vinegar and left them overnight. The next day, the eggs were left without their shell!
We put half of the eggs into jars of water which grew over the next few days as they observed the water.
The other half were put in jars of golden syrup. The syrup caused them to shrink and shrivel up. Here are our results!

The Moonbeams class loved decorating our boiled eggs and turning them into gumball machines! We were the winner in the Middle Primary corridor and were delighted with the result.
We also enjoyed rolling our eggs with Tyler rolling his the furthest and Emma “rolling” hers the highest!

The Moonbeams class enjoyed creating puffy paint today. We made the paint using shaving foam, PVA glue and food colouring. We added food colouring to make the paint look like strawberry and mint choc chip flavoured ice cream!

The Moonbeams class were very excited to meet our Willowbank visitors today. We got to meet, say hi to and cuddle some lambs. We had to be very brave and very gentle when petting and handling the lambs. Some of them were only 1 day old!

The Moonbeams class enjoyed an Easter themed science experiment. We boiled eggs and drew faces on them so that they looked like Humpty Dumpty!
We tried to make a safe cushion for Humpty Dumpty so that when he fell, he would not break. We used sugar, cotton balls, rice, lego, tissues and bubble wrap to try and make the bag safe.
The cotton balls, rice and sugar were the best cushions!

The Moonbeams class have participated in a Steven Brown competition where we created a new McCoo character. The character had to be someone that enjoyed sports. We called our character Messy McCoo and thought he would be good at football.
Here is our finished product…

The Moonbeams class loved exploring Eglinton Park during our social outing. We loved visiting the café and particularly liked the cakes! We also explored the all ability park and loved the sunken trampoline, climbing frames and slides.
