In science Class 4 are learning about the properties of different materials. Today they made salt solutions until the water was saturated. As a class we evaporated the solution to separate the salt from the water proving this was a reversible change. They added yeast to water and bicarbonate of soda to vinegar and watched a gas being formed proving that these changes are irreversible. Their third challenge was to make an emulsion with water and oil. They used fairy liquid, egg yolk and gum Arabic and observed the how the oil and water behaved when each substance was added.

Class 1 have enjoyed sewing and making their own colour monsters.

Class 4 have been studying the paintings of the Ancient Egyptians. This afternoon, they painted their own designs on papyrus.

Thank you Mrs Beckett for the lovely Bug Hotel that you gave us this morning. Class 4 enjoyed constructing it and we look forward to seeing which bugs have made it their home when we return to school in September.

This morning children received certificates and trophies for all the amazing things that they had achieved this year. As well as saying good bye and wishing those moving on all the very best, we also enjoyed a lovely musical recital from the children have been having lessons. We were very impressed at how much they have improved this year. Well done everyone.

This term class 4 were asked to take part in a project facilitated by the Hub in Sleaford inspired by the Coat of Hopes. Each class member contributed a stitched square design to be part of a collaborative piece – Hub Hopes Bunting. Their work will be exhibited alongside the Coat of Hopes at the Hub on Fri 24 and Sat 25 Sep 2022.

Class 3 have been learning how to build 3D shapes using modelling clay this week. They are beginning to investigate faces, vertices and edges of each shape and compare 3D shapes to 2D shapes. This morning, Class 3 built 3D shapes out of straws of different lengths in order to recognise 3D shapes in different orientations.

This morning Class 3 and 4 used views in our local park as inspiration for creating their own landscape pictures using water colour paints. We were thankful to be granted cooler weather. Playtime was spent using the outdoor gym equipment.

This afternoon, we enjoyed leaning more about French culture and tasting French food. We also played Boules and other games and had a competition to see who could build the highest Eiffel Tower with spaghetti and marshmallows.
