We looked at food webs in class today We read all about different species and habitats and worked out where they fitted into food webs.

Today we investigated reversible and irreversible changes and created some new materials. Safety first we wore our goggles, then did two investigations to make casein plastic and carbon dioxide. It was very exciting. 

The year 3 children have been exploring what it was like to be a Roman in Britain. They have found out about technology, hygiene, religion and education in Roman Britain through books, videos and artefacts.

Lovely to hear some spooky poems and stories from library services today. 

We have enjoyed our superhero topic very much and finished off in true superhero style with a dress up day. We wrote amazing comics, experimented with mixing colours to make super hero biscuits, wrote and performed our own separate hero poem and had lots of superhero crafts! Well done Year…

A story teller visited Year 6 this morning and they really enjoyed the scary stories that she read for them.  

We enjoyed listening to some stories and poems this morning. Jane from Cumbria Library Service visited to read to us.

We learnt about Egyptian hieroglyphs, we tried to write a massage without using any words or letters. Then we decoded a message and wrote our name in  hieroglyphs.

Year 3 explored regular and irregular past tense verbs today. 

Year 5 collected natural materials to make sculptures in the style of Andy Goldsworthy 

Lots of fun using Stone Age tools (stones) to make flour, just like they did in the Neolithic.

Today we have mummified tomatoes.

First, we washed our tomatoes, then we scooped out the insides.

We made our own natron by mixing salt and baking powder and filled the tomato with it.

We will watch them for a few weeks to see what happens.
