We are scientists!

8th September 2021Mrs Haycock

Today 6H have been scientists. We have examined a variety of nappy brands, looked at their properties and predicted which brand we thought would be the most absorbent. We could not believe quite how much liquid the nappies soaked up. One brand far outweighed the others in absorbency…I wonder if your child can tell you how they carried out their investigation and what their findings were.

We are Crew Haycock!

7th September 2021Mrs Haycock

Crew Haycock have been thinking about how often we read and the variety of ways in which we do this. They created reading rivers. Many children were surprised by what they read without even realising it – like road signs and packaging.

Did you know that NASA developed nappies for their astronauts?

7th September 2021Mrs Haycock

6H have been investigating the use of nappies in space travel. They were amazed to discover that NASA have developed special adult sized nappies so that their astronauts can go to the toilet whilst on spacewalks. Tomorrow we will be investigating which brand of nappy is the most absorbent.

Fantastic fact splats!

6th September 2021Miss Blackham

I have loved teaching 6H this afternoon. What a fantastic start to our English cycle! We were hooked in by watching Pandora and we quickly realised the information we were noting down were in fact ,fact splats. We then had a silent discussion to add to the fact splats before sharing our favourite ones with a cold call. The facts will now
be used to support our non chronological reports.

A shout out to Lola and Demi for being the fact splats winners!
