A big thank you to the Year 1 parents for supporting us with our Extreme reading challenge. Children from across the school love to stop and look at their photographs.
Another thank you for collecting and bringing in so many recycable materials. The pile filled our carpet area! Some children decided they wanted to take spare materials home and the rest went to Reception for their construction area.
Attached are photographs of our display and our emergency vehicles so far.
Year 4 Mysterious objects..., by Mrs Hover
Date: 11th May 2017 @ 3:59pm
Our first lesson on 'The Water Horse'
Mysterious objects have been handed in to Gairloch Heritage Centre and they have sent a letter and photographs to Year 4 to observe. Using magnifying glasses and a little imagination, Year 4 described the objects and predicted what the objects might be.
The letter also revealed that one of their fellow volunteers has likened these objects to the legend of the kelpie… This has got us thinking!
Year 3 Science - Why do we need light to see things?, by Miss Jones
Date: 8th May 2017 @ 5:16pm
Today in science, we started out new topic; light and dark. We wanted to investigate the question, why do we need light to see things? We found out about different light sources and how they helped us to see things by producing light. We even did an experiment to test whether we could see things without a light source. We tried to identify objects in dark, feely bags. We concluded that we could only tell what the objects were when we opened the bag and let a light source in.
Year 3 Science - What is soil made up of?, by Miss Jones
Date: 8th May 2017 @ 5:12pm
On Friday, Year 3 ventured outside for their science lesson. We were learning about rocks and soils and wanted to know what soil was made up of. To help us, Miss Jones hid clue cards outside on the playground. The children had to then find out what was in soil and why it was important. The children were amazed to find out that soil had clay, silt, organic matter, water, sand, air and animals in it!

Y2 visit from Constable Francis, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 5th May 2017 @ 2:21pm
Thank you very much to Constable Francis who came to visit us this week to talk to us about his role as a Policeman. The children had some excellent questions for him which Constable Francis was more than happy to answer for us. He even let us try on some of his uniform! Thank you for a very interesting afternoon and for giving up time on your precious day off to come and talk to us :)
PC Francis and PC Harrison came to visit Year 1, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 4th May 2017 @ 12:26pm
As part of our 'People who help us' topic, Year 1 had PC Francis and PC Harrison come to visit us in a police car!
The class challenged them both with their fantastic questions...
"What do you do?" "How do you help?" Freya
"How long have you been a police officer?" Evie
"How many cases have you solved?" Alfie
"What mysteries do you solve?" Felix
As you can see from the photographs, they tried on the protection vests and hats. The vests were very heavy!
We were very lucky, we even had a look inside a police car and used the special ink to do our own finger prints.
A BIG thank you to Mr Francis and Mr Harrison for your time and bringing some fantastic resources for us to try on and use.
We can not wait for Mr Weeks and Mrs Pierce to visit in the next couple of weeks.
How to trap an evil pea!, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 3rd May 2017 @ 5:15pm
Have you ever heard of an evil pea?
Year 1 have been reading the text 'Supertato' in literacy. We found that to catch an evil pea we require jelly.
On Tuesday, some magical potion appeared in the classroom. The children looked at it and smelt it, guessing what the liquid could be. Blackcurrent juice? Strawberry juice? Jelly juice?
The class then predicted how long it would take for the jelly to set in the fridge. 1 minute? 1 hour? 1 day?
In groups, the children then squashed the evil peas into the jelly to capture them!
We look forward to writing our instruction texts about 'How to trap an evil pea!'
