Times tables

We will be looking at our tables in maths again this week.

This is a great game to help you with any tables you find tricky. Give it a go!

Do seeds need warmth to germinate?


We have set up three experiments. One tray of seeds will be left by a warm radiator. One tray will be left in a cold cupboard. One tray will be left in a cold fridge.
Is this a fair test?
What might the results show?

Does a plant need water to grow? RESULTS


Here is a picture of the results from our experiment. You can clearly see that the plant which had 200ml of water added looks very healthy.
Can you spot the unhealthy plant which had no water at all last week? What does it look like?

Thank you Mr O'Kane!


Mr O'Kane has worked very hard over the past few weeks to keep our school safe in the very snowy weather.
Today he cleared a huge amount of the playground so that we could move around on it safely.
Here is a picture with the proof!

Making an Igloo


Today Year 3 and Year 5 made the most of the snowy weather and made an Igloo.
We worked as a team to collect snow and mould it into block shapes. Using co-operation and knowledge of 3D shapes, this is what we managed to create.
There was not quite enough snow for a whole igloo - but this was a pretty good effort! Well done everyone!
Check out our other pictures on the TV outside the office.
