Science Experiment

We explored if the height we drop a ball effects the size of the “crater” it makes. We predicted what we thought would happen, tested our ideas and then discussed the results. We found the higher we dropped the ball from meant the crater was deeper and wider.

Science Week

During science week we made box model dinosaurs using junk materials. We learnt about how fossils are formed and made our own from clay.

We loved steering the boats and looking out for different wildlife on our trip.

Sports Day

We enjoyed competing in lots of races and cheering on our friends.

Super Hero Day

We loved dressing up as super heroes for the day.

Blaze Pods Workshop

We had to test our reaction skills in the Blaze Pods Workshop. We were told which colour we had to find and then we had to press our button only. At the end we found out who pressed the most buttons in the minute. We have some children with very quick reactions!

Coronation of King Charles III

We celebrated the coronation of King Charles III by finding out what will happen in London and around the world on this special day. We made our own crowns, took part in coronation crafts and we even had our own coronation ceremony!

We loved learning a dance and performing it to our parents. Look at our amazing video!

Daffodil Painting

We created daffodil pictures to celebrate spring and we loved displaying them in our Easter performance.

Cannon Hall Farm School Trip

We all had a fantastic time on our school trip. We enjoyed watching the ferret racing before exploring the roundhouse and the mammel house. We then had fun in the tubes and tunnels. It was then time for us all to sit down for lunch! After we had eaten we went on a tour of the farm barns and were able to feed the animals and we had a look inside the reptile house. Finally we all had a great time in the playground before setting back off to school.
