This week we have been builders, using our skills to build castles. We used cuboids and cylinders to create the castle walls, keep and towers.

Our Maths and Scientific Quest
In maths we made shields using our knowledge of symmetry.
We learnt how to sort different materials out which included: glitter, rice, pasta, gems, buttons, hundreds and thousands, marbles, paperclips and bells. We used sieving, magnets, and scoops.
We investigated invisible ink and then used the best to make maps.
We investigated how absorbent different materials were to soak up water from an oasis.
We learnt how to melt ice the quickest without force to retrieve our gems.
Everyone really enjoyed this quest!
We used Trundle Wheels to measure the quad. We made maps of the quad and plotted the different finds on there using co-ordinates.
Visit from the Animal Man
We had a fantastic time this morning looking at all of the different animals that the Animal Man brought in. He showed us a chinchilla, cockroaches, spiders, snakes, a scorpion, a bearded dragon and a chameleon.

Easter Gardens
We have been learning why Christians celebrate Easter. Today we learned about Easter Sunday. Following the story we made Easter gardens on plates. We have included crosses, the tomb, a path and flowers.
1940's Tea Party
The children have really enjoyed planning and preparing for their 1940’s themed party. Special thanks to Louise Hardwick for baking with the children, staff and volunteers and parents for supporting the event.
Sensory Circuits
Today, the children took calculated risks, concentrated, worked cooperatively together and had lots of fun.
Dyed Gwyl Dewi
We enjoyed making Welsh cakes.
We weighed, mixed and fried our cakes.
Orienteering.
Year five and six had a go at a simple orienteering task. They went outside to look for letters on the field. They marked this on their maps and then came back inside to work out the coordinates and then worked out the word.
It was a challenging activity- particularly when it started to rain and their maps got wet!
