    Take a look at what we have been up to in Autumn 1:

    Science : Materials

    Which materials would be the most suitable for

    The Three Little Pigs House?

    This term the children have been learning about different materials. We have been thinking of materials that would be suitable to build houses. The children created houses using various materials and decided that bricks were the most suitable as they are , strong, hard and waterproof.  

    Science : Materials 

    Which materials are waterproof and absorbent ?

    The children used different materials to see which were waterproof and which were absorbent. The children predicted the rubber gloves would be the most waterproof and the sponge would be the most absorbent.

     

    SNOW DAY ACTIVITIES

    ​Snow Days offer a wonderful opportunity for the children to get outside and be physically active whilst exploring this beautiful and interesting weather phenomenon in all sorts of ways; as scientists, as artists, as geographers ...and as children.

    As teachers, we have made the decision to embrace this as a wonderful opportunity for home learning when the children cannot safely come into school.   Please find below, all sorts of ideas for learning activities that the children can do which are linked to the snow.

    We have decided not to organise these under age-related headings.  All of the activities are good fun and most are 'open-ended' enough that the children can explore them at the level which suits them.

     

    BUBBLES IN THE SNOW​

    This works best when it is REALLY cold outside, well below freezing point.  Sometimes it can be cold enough for the bubbles to actually freeze and be covered in ice patterns.
    Even if it is not that cold, the bubbles will stay for a while on the cold snow.
    It is easy to make your own bubble mixture with washing-up liquid and water!
    You could have 'races' to see whose bubble lasts the longest without popping. ​Or you could take som photos of your bubbles sitting on the snow.

    SNOW TRACKS AND SNOW PRINTs


    ​Be a 'snow detective' and search for tracks in the snow.  Which creature might they belong to?
    Or use some everyday objects to make your own prints.
