Fortunately the area where we have been going every Monday had not been affected by the fire. We learned about the different calls that birds make and tried to distinguishContinue reading “Wild Things 5: Birds”

This week we learned about minibeasts and their place in the world. We started with a food web game to understand everything relies on minibeasts and if one thing is affected in the food web, that this impacts the balance of everything! We went on a minibeast hunt and were in awe of the selectionContinue reading “Wild Things 4: Minibeasts”

For Red Nose Day, P6 took part in a Boccia Tournament! This was a new sport for many but enjoyed by all. 😊

P6 enjoyed being forensic scientists for Science Week to solve the missing cupcakes mystery! A couple of experiments we tried were fingerprinting and hidden messages.
