Posted on May 23, 2023 | By jrichardsonvsp
We had a great time during Science Week, enjoying the combination of class investigations and independent research. We even enjoyed making our spectacularly unsuccessful slime! We were impressed with the extra effort with home learning, the resilience when things didn’t go according to plan and the genuine desire to develop understanding in science.

Our two classes joined together to learn about batik, to investigate different types of wax resist techniques, and to practise repeating patterns. We also tried using a flour and water paste with paint but it was quite tricky to control the paste! We are looking forward to trying some batik later this term.

Despite the fact that we only had two thirds of the class in school, we enjoyed our party. Hopefully everyone will be fit and well again in January! We enjoyed our trip to the Christmas Tree Festival, although it was hard to get a good photo! Panto Pandemonium was a resounding success!
