Planting Seeds
Nursery have planted some seeds so that we can learn to take care of living things. Each child could choose whether they wanted to plant broad beans, cress or sweet pea flowers. We spoke about what seeds need to grow and how to take care of them. We can’t wait to watch how they grow over the coming weeks.

THE XP PILOT
This morning, we were visited by Geoff Hewitt from XP, who is our school’s XP Pilot. Geoff came to show us his drone and explain how drones can be used to take aerial view photographs. This links closely to our current expedition and is something we will be learning more about as our work continues.
Geoff demonstrated how the drone works and shared some of the photographs he had taken. Together, we explored the aerial footage and discussed what we could see from above, noticing features that look very different when viewed from the sky. The children were fascinated by this new perspective and asked lots of thoughtful questions.
It was an exciting and engaging visit that helped bring our learning to life and gave the children a glimpse into how technology can be used to explore and understand the world around us.
We’re on the move
Our new expedition is called We’re on the move! This week we have been looking at different ways we can move, keeping our bodies active and healthy. We had a go at making playground markings, using an obstacle course and riding the bikes.

Investigating states of matter
As part of our immersion into our new expedition, Years 5 and 6 spent a day investigating changes in states of matter, understanding how solid substances such as salt and sugar can dissolve in water (becoming liquid), then the water evaporates to reverse the change of state, leaving solid crystals of salt or sugar.
We also understood how sand didn’t dissolve in water, but remained solid, sinking to the bottom of the liquid. We were able to retrieve the sand by using a filter.
We discussed how, in the past, science was unable to explain these changes of state and may have led to claims of witchery.
