Brushing Teeth Experiment

3rd February 2025Joshua Meade

Over the weekend the children were given a dental disclosing tablet – a fun and important experiment for children to understand and see the important of brushing and keeping all their teeth clean! What a cool toothbrush Ada has, it flashes red for 2 minutes so she knows that she has been brushing for the correct amount of time. Check out some of our gleaming smiles!

Planting in Y2

1st February 2025Mrs Lewis

In Y2 we have been checking in on our planting experiments from last week. The seeds we watered had started to grow but the one without sunlight did not look very healthy. The ones we planted without water have not done anything at all. The children’s predictions were correct, plants need water, sun and the correct temperature to grow healthy and strong.

It was great to see some children’s cress plants come back into class so we could see how they had grown. Well done to our green-fingered classmates!

Well done to our KS1 winners this week. It was lovely to hear how you have grown in confidence and how independent you are all becoming. We were blown away by Rishaa’s beautiful writing, Kuba’s lovely reading, Boromir’s brilliant attitude to learning and Kaya’s growing confidence. Well done to every one of our winners this week.

Family Learning

31st January 2025Mr Pickering

Thank you to all of the grown-ups that were able to attend our family learning event yesterday. We began working on part of our final product for this expedition. Year 2 began to carefully weave their own bracelets, which will be used to hold their shrinky-dink ‘charms’ as we progress through the expedition. The children have to earn the charms that they have made by preparing and sampling different food. I wonder how many they will get?
