Base 6 were very busy this afternoon making simple circuits. We had bulbs flashing and buzzers buzzing. Sorry to all the other bases for the noise but we were having a great time!

This week Base 5 have been learning how music can represent different animals.  First we listened to pieces from Carnival of the Animals and identified which animal it was portraying based on pitch and pace.  We then spent time in our co-operative groups composing our own music based on different animals and presented our finished piece to the rest of the class.

On Friday 3rd March Bases 8 and 10 had a visit from the Generation Science Team.  The workshop was titled Body Builders- The body, bones and organ show. Dr Watson and Nurse Treat It Better, along with a variety of characters, showed us why it was so important to look after our bodies and keep in shape. This was done through a fast-past, funny, interactive show which both pupils and staff enjoyed.

On Friday 3rd March, Bases 8 and 10 had a visit from Claire Doyle from Muller Dairies. She spoke to the children about her job as an accounts manager and a little about the company itself and the company’s values. The children had time at the end of her talk to ask some questions which were very interesting!
