British Science Week
Today we carried out three science experiments

Balloon pop
Floating teabag.
Each had a really interesting aspect of science to them. The children have been asked to work out the science behind the experiment. An email has been sent to parents asking them to help their children research the science behind one experiment. A competition has been set up to see who can come up with the correct scientific theory behind the experiment. A winner will be drawer from the correct entries. Please encourage your child to participate in this activity and enjoy finding things out together.
Below are videos of the first 2 experiments. The 3rd didn't work so here is a link to what should have happened.

Children's Mental Health Week
This week the children have completed different activities to help support good mental health. We have discussed the benefits of reading, cooking, listening to music, emerging yourself in art (Class 2) or using your skills to complete activities that would make great hobbies (Class 4 building vehicles). We have shown the children how square breathing and finger breathing. We also looked at communication when trying to build lego from others instructions. They have been given the task of going out into the community and pass on this skill to friends, family, peers at clubs and neighbours. We have set the target of reaching out to 100 people and giving them the a valuable skill to help support their mental health. Please enjoy the photos below.
In assembly today we discussed the importance of looking after our mental health and supporting others to do the same.
