Budding artists
We were inspired by the artist Andy Goldsworthy. We made a sculpture called a Cairn. Can you remember what they were for?
Look what we found this week!
Some children think they are dragon eggs! What do you think?
How could we look after them?
We loved the new books in our library

Science: How do germs spread?
In science this week, we started an experiment that we are going to observe over a few weeks.
We placed one slice of bread in a bag that no one has touched. We placed another slice of bread that the whole class touched.
The children think the bread might go mouldy....Let's wait and see.
See the castle ahead? Get ready to invade its mighty walls! Shoot a projectile with an archer's aim! Head across the drawbridge, over the moat, and up to the top of the tower...
