Bradgate Park

Today, we have been exploring rivers and mountains on our trip to Bradgate Park in Leicestershire. We all had a great time looking at the river, climbing over the rocks and seeing all the deer!


We then used maps and compasses to help us with orienteering around the park.

Potion Making

For the last two weeks, Cedar Class have been taking inspiration from Harry Potter and inventing some new potions!


We have had potions for: invisibility, strength, speed, love, mind-reading, improving skills, werewolves and even a Spiderman potion!


We have written explanation texts telling people what our potions are for and how they work. We also wrote instructions for how to make them and set them out as flow charts. Mrs Ceairns showed us how to make our paper look really old by using a tea bag. This was so much fun but slightly messy.

Here we are making our potions.

As we followed our instructions, we put our ingredients (which included Dragon's Blood, Snake's Venom and Scarab Beetle Juice) into small potion bottles.

Assembly

Well done to Cedar Class for delivering a fantastic assembly to the school this morning.


You did yourselves proud!

Finished tanzuku wind chimes

Last week, we designed and painted our wind chimes for our tanzuku poems to hang from.


We used symbols for peace as well as Japanese writing to decorate our wind chimes.


Now they are all ready to be displayed at Coventry Cathedral!


Here are just a few...
