VOLCANO DAY
We are really enjoying our topic on Tremors and have found out all sorts of things about volcanoes. As part of this, we had an amazing Volcano Day. We had worked with a partner to design and plan our model volcanoes, thinking about the materials we would need and how we would structure it. On Volcano Day, we came to school in old clothes ready for busy, messy learning. It was such great fun!
Once we had made our volcanoes, we went outside to construct our 'ring of fire'. Out came the cola and the baking powder and we stood back to watch the 'eruptions'. Fantastic!

Victorian Day
As part of their topic on The Victorians, Willow Class held a Victorian School Day. Miss Grantham and her class dressed in Victorian clothes, the children sat in rows and worked on chalk boards. And no Victorian school room is complete without a cane and that big cap with a D on it! Everyone had great fun.
Cooking with a purpose
As part of their continuing work on our bodies - how they work and how to be healthy - a group of children from Willow Class cooked a meal to keep our bones healthy. Their authentic cannelloni contained calcium in the form of milk in the béchamel sauce and two kinds of cheese - ricotta and parmesan, with additional vitamins from spinach, and energy from the pasta. The children worked brilliantly together to cook a complex dish. The finished product was really delicious and professional enough to serve at a dinner party. Well done, Willow !
Creating our own cave paintings. What would cave people have used to create images on the walls?
What is in the images? What do they tell us? What colours would they be? How did they last so long?

Weaving in Willow - exploring warp and weft. Can you work methodically to weave neatly and correctly?
Exploring text types
The children in Willow Class discovered the success criteria for effective instructions in a very practical way. They were given instructions to make a King Bog Baby and worked with a partner to see if their set of instructions was a WAGOLL (What a good one looks like) or a WABOLL (What a bad one looks like). They then worked out what they needed to add to make their instructions work.
