This week the children have been learning to contribute to discussion on the latest scientific news.   We started the lesson by talking about the role of  a scientist and what a scientist may look and sound like.  They were asked to draw a scientist and explain their reasons. 17 of them drew a male character and 3 drew a female character.  This brought about a discussion about famous/popular scientists and we will explore this at a later date.

We then watched videos from TigTag where they learned about plastic pollution and Volcanos.  They talked to each other about ways they can improve plastic pollution.  They worked together to read through a news article of their own and reported back to the class about their findings.
