Church Visit

Yesterday, we visited West Orchard United Reformed Church as part of our RE learning.


We had a great time learning all about inspirational people and thinking about why Jesus is important to some people.


We also heard a story called 'You are special' which gave us lots to think about in terms of the way we think about ourselves and how we treat others.

Electricity

We are currently learning about electricity in Science.


We have been learning about circuits and how they work. We tested different circuits to see if the bulb would light up, and then observed what happened if we added another battery or light bulb.


Today, we investigated whether different materials were conductors or insulators of electricity.
A conductor is something that allows the electric current to travel through it. An insulator does not allow the current to flow through it.


We tested these materials:
  • wood
  • plastic
  • metal
  • aluminium foil
  • natural blue stone


Which material(s) do you think are conductors of electricity?








Mother's Day Cards

We made Mother's Day cards last Friday. Because it was such a lovely day, we went outside searching for twigs and branches to use.
We then turned these into our own bunches of flowers.
