Our Brilliant Theatre Trip

We had a fantastic time at Snail on a Whale last week! Some of the children's views will be coming very soon. It is one of our favourite stories in class. 

Ethan's creation!

Look what Ethan and his friends made today! Wow!

A tent for Frankie bear!

Frankie Bear is feeling very jealous that Archie Bear went to Lakeside and he didn't get to go. He asked us to make him a tent, so we thought we had better find the best material to make one.

We tested 6 different types of material and thought about the good things and bad things about each one. We worked together really well.

Testing paper

Holly counted carefully to 60 each time!

We found that the apron material would be the best one to keep Archie or Frankie bear warm and dry. Jayden thought the paper wasn't good because it wasn't waterproof and because it tore when it was wet. Daisy thought the thin plastic wasn't good because if it was hard rain it would break. Aiden thought the wool was soft and warm, but wasn't waterproof so wouldn't make a good tent.

Keeping Archie Bear warm

Today we investigated the best type of material to keep Archie Bear warm in the winter. He doesn't have a coat like Frankie, so we thought we would find out what would make the best one for him.

We made an experiment and pretended that a beaker was Archie, with warm water inside to be like his warm blood. We thought of ways to keep it fair, like having the same amount of water in each one. Then we wrapped the beakers in fur, paper, plastic, bubble wrap or wadding. We left one without a 'jacket' on to see what happened to that.

Oli, Daisy, Rueben and Caitlin checked the thermometers carefully to see what the readings were. We will share our results very soon!

Talking to Santa!

Today Santa talked to us all the way from the North Pole! We were able to ask him lots of questions. We thought it was fantastic!

Bakery buns part 2

Ella was great at making our bakery buns too! Her photo got missed off the first post.

Meeting Samuel Pepys!

We travelled back in time this morning to 1666! It was amazing because Samuel Pepys was here! He told us all about the fire and where it started.

Samuel Pepys also told us how awful the Lord Mayor was and that he didn't want to blow up houses to create a fire break, because he was worried he would have to pay for them. He told us how he watched all the people in the streets trying to get away from the fire and to the Thames.

We learned lots from Samuel Pepys, but we were also able to amaze him with all the facts that we know!
