Marie Curie – Marvellous Curiosity

Welcome back readers!

Recently, we have been learning about Marie Curie, the famous scientist from Poland. She discovered 2 elements called radium and polonium that changed the world! This is even more amazing because when she was alive, women were not allowed to go to university!

We made notes about Maire Curie and used these to design posters. We will share more about her, during our Spring Show. Stay tuned for details and check out some lovely photos below! 🙂

Our splendid burns supper!

Hi readers,

Recently we have been learning how to write instructions and have been making some tasty recipes. We made empire biscuits for our Scotland topic because the shortbread and the jam are Scottish.

We also went to the hall and made vegetarian haggis pastry parcels, with Slyvia our head cook! We got to shape the pastry ourselves and decide how much haggis to put inside.

The haggis was for our Burns Supper, which we had later in the day. First we decorated the hall, then we had our food, some people recited poetry, we sang 3 craws and then went into the hall for a ceilidh! We learned the Canadian Barn and had lots of fun!

Check out some pictures below! 🙂
