Today in science we built on our understanding of refraction from last week and looked at how light is built up from a spectrum of colours. We investigated mixing colours and observing the changes then we walked through the rainbow! 🌈

Reminder - For outdoor learning this afternoon, children will need clothes that they can get dirty. Thank you! 🪴

World book day 2024! We had a busy day taking part in National Literacy Trust Booky and Footy quiz, followed by illustrating some of our favourite fictional places! At the end of the day we had a surprise visit from Mr Guise who came to read the start of our next class book to us!

We were busy in our allotment this afternoon for our outdoor learning session!

Today we investigated chemical changes that bubble and give off gas. We used balloons to help us compare how much gas was given off in relation to how much sodium bicarbonate was added to our vinegar.

🚨 RESIDENTIAL 🚨 a letter has gone home tonight that includes a kit list and a medical and dietary information form. If you have any questions, please contact school 😊
