Sensory Assembly
The Transition boys were Responsible Citizens when they attended the sensory assembly last week. They learnt all about Diwali the Hindu festival of lights.
The Stars class invited the Sungazers class for a golden ticket treasure hunt. As it was raining we had to have it indoors but nevertheless we had a fun time. We made tasty chocolate crispie cake to serve for snack.
We had our second visit to CC’s Chocolate Creations where owner Carol warmly welcomed us. We saw all the chocolate creations she’d made and enjoyed dipping marshmallows in melted chocolate. Yum! We used our new eco bag when shopping.
Scone!!! (it’s gone)
This week the Transition boys made pumpkin spiced scones. the boys were all Effective Contributors as they all enjoyed mashing the roasted pumpkin and grating the cold butter (which felt very strange!). The scones were a clear winner judging by the photographs!

FAOL: Science – Salt Water Density
*Successful Learners*
The Moonbeams carried out an experiment about the difference between using salt water and just water. We had two bowls and placed an egg in each bowl to see what the effect was. We found that the egg sunk to the bottom of the bowl of just water but floated in the bowl with salt.
