As part of their Scientists and Inventors topic, Year 2 investigated materials to see if they were waterproof and then used their results to design a waterproof coat. This week in Design and Technology, Year 1 created Arctic landscapes. The children studied different colours and how they make us feel, as well as exploring a range of Arctic photos of different landscapes and scenes. The children used a range of media to create their beautiful landscapes and they chose to add a Northern Lights background for next week’s work.  Reception have been looking at weight/mass in their Maths lessons.  They made a cake to celebrate ‘Kippers Birthday’ after reading the story and each ingredient in the cake had to balance/weigh the same as an egg.  They then designed the topping and decorated them.   Pre-School also had a busy week thinking about birthday celebrations.  They also made cakes and sorted cards.  All the children thoroughly enjoyed listening to the stories recorded and read to them by their Year 8 Mentors this week.  To end Anti-Bullying Week the children all proudly wore their odd socks to celebrate how unique and wonderful they all are!
