Earthing Up Potatoes
Growing Potatoes
Over the next few months, P1/2/3 will be growing potatoes.Â
Miriam Doe came and taught us about growing potatoes and then helped us to plant them.
We have three bags to observe and measure over the next couple of months.
We are entering a competition to see who can grow the heaviest amount of potatoes too.
Magnet Game
Magnets
P1.2.3 have been learning about what materials are magnetic.
Play the game below to see what items are magnetic.
We also found out about the poles of magnets. We found out which ones attract and which ones repel.
Forces
P1/2/3 were learning all about forces.
We looked at how slopes, vehicles’ weight, and surfaces affect the distance a car can travel.
We measured with feet and with metre sticks.
We also looked at what a fair test was!

Enjoy the photos!
The next day we tested all the boats we had made to see if they would float. This is because the stream was too shallow up in the woods.
Our Rainbow of Hands
Everybody in P1/2/3 joined in and made a rainbow with painted hands. We did this after reading the story of Noah and the Ark.
First of all however, we learned the rhyme-
Richard Of York Gave Battle In Vain to remember the colour order of the rainbow.
We also made our own rainbow pictures with oil pastels.
