Burford Woods 21/5/2023

Cranford and Burscott classes had  a great day at Forest School in Burford Woods yesterday.

Science Week: Exploding lava slime

This was a real science experiment where we had to adapt quantities and ingredients to make it work. Luckily Mrs Nisbitt had the magic ingredient!

Science Week: Open afternoon

The children loved explaining what they had been up to to their peers across all classes, and to their parents.

This was sooooo much fun! We had to blow one bubble and then blow another one inside it!
