Happy New Year! We hope you all had a lovely Christmas holiday. The children obviously had a wonderful break and have come back full of stories of their Christmas celebrations. Our topic this term is Toys. If any children would like to bring in a toy to show the class (maybe a favourite Christmas present) it would be great! We will be finding out about how different toys work (wind up, battery, remote control, wind etc) and also looking at the history of toys. Maybe you have some of YOUR old toys at home you would be willing to let us borrow?

October Science: We have been learning about waterproof materials. We covered boxes in different types of material and hid a tissue inside. We 'watered' the boxes. If the tissue was dry, we knew the material was waterproof. We had a lot of fun doing this experiment! We used the results to help us design and make a waterproof cape for a doll!
