Lots of fun had at the Christmas disco 

We used boomwackers, glockenspiels and violins to investigate pitch. We discovered that the shorter the boomwacker (or note on the glockenspiel the higher the note. On the violins, the thinner the string the higher the note. Then we each made a set of panpipes using straws.

Art club really enjoyed finding out about Georges Seurat in our art club today They were concentrating really well and produced some great work. 

Lovely to start gardening after school again. Hopefully we will have some dry days to get outside 

Year 3, 4 and 5 enjoyed making firework paintings today. We were very lucky to be joined by Mrs Wright also. 

We listened to (and joined in with) some brilliant stories!

This morning we designed and built a boat to try and help the Gingerbread man get across the river without being eaten. Some of us made boats out of salt dough and some of us used foil. All of the salt dough boats sank straight away. The tin foil boats sank more slowly, one of the tin foil boats…

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.

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.

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.
