On Friday afternoon, Room 10 made a huge scientific discovery! Last week they carefully placed an egg in a cup of vinegar and let science take its course. As soon as the egg was dropped in the vinegar, hundreds of tiny bubbles began to appear. They found out that these bubbles are actually a gas called carbon dioxide, which is the same gas found in fizzy drinks.They left the egg for a week and  made predictions of what might happen. The boys and girls couldn’t believe their eyes on Friday when they took the egg out of the cup of vinegar, the egg shell had completely disappeared!! It left behind a delicate layer of skin, called a membrane, allowing you to see into the egg! Everyone was so excited by this amazing discovery, and couldn’t wait to share their learning with the rest of the school!

Our Enterprise Afterschool Club are now busy at work decorating their plant pots for selling at our Sunflower Tea.   They will be planting sunflower seeds in the pots next week.  Great work boys and girls!

Room 13 have just started learning about angles. As an introduction, they created Angle Munchers…strange little beings with rather large mouths. Interestingly, their mouths are a perfect right angle and whilst a right-angled snack is their favourite to munch on, they also enjoy the occasional acute angle treat.
However, as the children found out, an obtuse angled snack is a little too big for even the most hungry Muncher.

The newly painted playground proved to be snacktastic!

Our auditions are now complete and the children of the drama club have been issued with their scripts.  Next week all our Pr.6 and 7 pupils will work on learning the songs to go along with our show ‘Go For Gold’.

Our school playground is becoming a great focus of outdoor play as we continue to invent games using our new playground markings.  They have been a great success at breaktimes and have rwally inspired the children to come up with some very interesting games.  Here are a few pictures of Room 7 pupils during their P.E. lesson.

Room 7 are delighted to share with you their learning.  They have planted cress seeds and are recording their daily growth in their cress diaries.  We can look forward to hearing what they have learned from carrying out this investigation.

For science this term, Room 10 have been focussing on life cycles as they  prepare for the arrival of their baby chicks in two weeks time. The boys and girls became budding scientists last week as they took part in several egg-cellent egg-xperiments! First, they decided to investigate the strength of an egg shell by carefully balancing books on top of four delicate shells. The children could not believe their eyes as the eggs were strong enough to hold more than twenty, heavy books before cracking! They have also started an experiment which will investigate what happens when a raw egg is left in vinegar over the weekend. Each group has predicted a different result, it will be very interesting to see who is correct!
