We have had the most gorgeous day at Swarthmoor Hall. We explored the grounds, then the woods, braved the cows and had a tour of the hall. The children were fantastic and were praised by the people who looked after us at the Hall.  

We made a new recipe for slime this week. Lots more mess and fun.  

We were inspired by Michelangelo to draw upside down. Lots of us drew turtles (wrong Michaelangelo!)

Year 1 have been planting sunflower seeds in science.  We have been talking about what a seed needs to grow into a flower.  We have planted the seeds so that we can keep a diary about what happens.

Year 1 used their fine motor skills and followed instructions in our dough disco today.  The used dough to make lots of shapes, worms, thumb pots, snakes, spheres, pan-cakes...  We had lots of fun.

Year 1 have been looking for wild flowers in science.  We found lots.  Can you find any out and about?

Thank you to author Kita Mitchell for coming in to see years 5 and 6 today and talk about her Grandma Dangerous books. We loved it and lots of the children got signed copies.  

We had a great time in Science Club, making goo, slime and a general mess! Thank you UVHS Sixth Form 

We had a great time this morning learning how to weave willow.  

We have had a brilliant day at Blackwell. We learned about the Arts and Crafts Movement, calligraphy writing and printing. The children loved it.
