Our science topic this half term was materials and their uses. We worked in our science groups to help Zog the alien investigate which material would be best for making a raincoat. Our results showed foil and plastic were waterproof materials. But we decided plastic was the most suitable material…

We loved cooking with Mini Chefs this half term. Last week we made deliciodoughnuts. Chef taught us lots of important cooking skills like measuring, beating, cutting and cracking eggs. Also, we made scrumptious chocolate rolls. It was great fun rolling out the party and even better fun…

In computing and literacy this term we have been busy writing instructions as a class for making jam sandwiches. 

We learned how to use the video on the ipads to record our friend as a TV chef. We really enjoyed the activity and our final videos were really good. We could almost pass for…

This 1/2 term we have seen the work start on our new KS2 extension begin. Winworth Construction have been working very hard to ensure that they are ready to erect a metal frame over the existing building during the February 1/2 term. They have also been very busy digging out at the back of the…

In science today, we were investigating the melting point of margarine and chocolate to help our friend Ziggy make a cake for his party. We used a small cooker and a thermometer to help us. We found the melting point of chocolate was around 35 oC. Unfortunately, Ziggy does not have a cooker so we…

This week we were investigating bones. We had a look at an x-ray of a skeleton. An x-ray shows us the bones in our body and allows doctors to see if there are any broken bones. We searched for bones in some sand and used markers like we would if it was a crime scene. 

We were very excited for our trip on Wednesday to court. The coach arrived just on time and drove us through town where we met Kath.

Just as she described the first people we met were security. They were really polite and helped us through all of the security procedures. One of…

In preparation for our trip tomorrow, we had a visitor today called Kath. She works in Manchester Crown Court. Tomorrow, when we are at the court, we are going to wear stickers with our names on so she can learn our names too! 

We started by looking at a picture of Manchester Crown Court and…

What a week we have had! On Wednesday afternoon, we had some special visitors from Sainsbury's Heaton Park. They work upstairs at Explore Learning. They told us we were going to do some calculations to work out the perfect recipe for some pretty disgusting meals. The information we were given was…

This half term we are working with mini chefs to make lots of exciting food. So far we have made pizza, meat pie and Victoria sponge cake. Mmmmmm delicious! 

In literacy we have been reading the story of Biscuit Bear by Mini Grey. We then designed and created a new biscuit to star in our very own adventure story! 

We had lots of fun decorating our biscui bears with chocolate buttons, silver balls, glazed cherries, hundred…

On Monday, we went on another trip to Our Lady's High School for a science lesson. This week, we used an ICT suite which looked really impressive.

Our first challenge was to explain how a tasty burger ends up as feces (poo!) There was lots of talk of feces, this made some of us feel…
