Today, class 4 have been learning about the composition and features of blood. So we made 'blood' with strawberries (red blood cells), mini marshmallows (white blood cells), sprinkles (platelets) and pineapple juice (plasma) we then blended it and drank it. Great fun....and don't be worried if your child came home saying that drank 'blood' yesterday 😉

Class 4 had a great time making felt pots with Caroline from Beaford Arts. It was a very challenging task, with lots of resilience needed, but everyone was really pleased with their finished product. 😀
We started off our year 6 spotlights amazingly well this week with Owen and Jonah's spotlights on Street Performance and Wild Camping. Spotlights are what the 'Show and Tells' develop into as our children grow and improve on their confidence and public speaking through the school.
