To mark the end of our African topic, we had a visit from some strange and a bit scary visitors.  Have a look at our pictures and see how brave we were. How many of the animals can you name?

Another one of our science activities last week was doing some investigation – which material was the strongest? We dropped a weight on different materials to see which one would break. First we put on our white coats and our goggles because we had to be safe (and that is what real scientists wear!) We also stood on a bench to make sure that the weight did not drop on our toes! We found out that the polystyrene was the weakest as the weight made a huge hole in it and that the wood was the strongest because the weight just bounced off it.

So we promised you more science and here it is! We watched a clip about astronauts carrying out repairs in space.  It looked really tricky because they had huge space suits and very thick gloves and had to do quite intricate jobs.  First we built a lego model, next we put on some woolly gloves and had another go, which made it quite tricky. Then we put on ski gloves, which made it even more difficult. Eventually we put on oven gloves and it got seriously tricky!! Leila then had a go at skipping – she was pretty good. 40 skips in a minute, but when she put on her spacesuit (wellies and a full length puffa coat) she could only manage 10! You should have a go and see for yourselves.

This week is British Science Week and we have been doing lots of science.  We have been learning about food chains and made these animated food chains. This is our first attempt and we do need a bit more practise, but the children wanted to share them with you. Look out for some more science coming soon!

Well, we had another successful maths morning this week.  The children had lots of fun – even our very youngest visitors! Thank you to all those parents who supported us and enjoyed trying out the activities with their children.
