As part of our learning about Toys, we have made a few of our own in DT

We found some odd socks at home and stuffed them with fluff. Then we decorated them with elastic bands and pipe cleaners. We gave them eyes and some other features and thought about the different characters they might be.

Now they hang in the classroom like a line of brightly coloured hanging pupae!

Science experiment!

Carrying on from last week we have been testing materials (and our teamwork) to find the best waterproof materials to make an umbrella. We tested, cotton fabric, plastic, foil, tissue and paper. Which one do you think was the most effective?

This week we said goodbye to Fr Francis, who is moving on. We made a card and sent a prayer of good wishes and messages of thanks.

We talked about what devices can connect to the internet and how the devices talk to each other through cables and wifi.

This week we have been exploring our sense of smell.

We have been thinking about how we can take care of the world as part of our Care for Creation learning.
