Butterflies

Today we released our five beautiful butterflies into the wild. Year 1 and Pre- school both watched in amazement as they flew away.

Lights, Camera, Action! Fitness Films

The final stage of our PT project has been making a video for our clients in order to demonstrate exercises and stretches and to help inform them about the muscles being used. The children have come to appreciate quite how much work is involved before you go anywhere near a camera! Casting, scriptwriting, storyboarding, blocking, […]

Plants in Year 2

Last week Year 2 continued their learning about plants by enjoying a Science carousel. They made observations of the plants they had left in different conditions for the past week (e.g without sunlight), discovered lots of different seeds and tried to match them to their plants and planted their very own seeds. The seeds are […]

Caterpillars

Today, our caterpillars started the amazing transformation into a chrysalis. They have attached themselves like a hook to the top of the pot, we are now waiting for them to complete this stage of the life cycle.

Personal Trainers at your service

Mini meteorologists in Year 3

Year 1’s Caterpillars

Year one have been looking after caterpillars for the last week and watching as they change. They have grown a lot and we are now waiting for each of them to change into a chrysalis. Pop in and see them if you get the chance!

Making poo

In science today, we recreated our digestive system and transformed food into poop. We used different everyday objects to represent different parts of the digestive system – for example we used tights as intestines. As you can imagine, it was a messy, stinky job, but we had fun!

Deptford Creek adventure

As part of their rivers study, Year 5 visited Creekside education centre. We learned all about the different features of a river and looked at different maps and time lapse video to get more of an understanding of how our local rivers connect and change with the tide. We did some labelled observational sketches of […]
