In Science, Year 2 have been investigating whether the material of a ball affects how high it bounces. They made it a fair test by dropping each ball from the same height and measuring the bounce carefully. Their results showed that different materials bounce to different heights because some materials are more elastic than others. Fantastic teamwork!🏀⚾⚽
In Year 6 English this week, Mrs. Dewick's group brought their literature to life by 'showing not telling'. They took on two of the characters in their text 'The Last Wild' - including Kester who cannot communicate verbally and has to rely on actions. They had to convey how they were feeling through actions rather than words, combining Drama with English. Whilst they experienced some rather funny moments and expressions, on the whole it was a very successful activity!

Pre-School Ash have been learning about the life cycle of sunflowers and how they can look after plants. For this they’ve made themselves instructions on how to plant a sunflower then had a go at planting their own sunflowers following their instructions! The children are very excited to watch these grow over the next few weeks in their classroom before taking them home! They also enjoyed having a florist shop pop up in their classroom to play in!
They’ve also been looking at Vincent van Gogh’s sunflower paintings and creating their own! Many of the children were pointing out that they could see sunflowers that were at the end of their life cycle as they had dropped! Pre-School enjoyed copying the style of art work and creating their own version! 🌼
