The children in Beesley Class have been exploring the seasonal changes of Autumn. The children went on an Autumn walk around the school environment to look for signs of Autumn.

We had a photograph infront of our class tree (something which we will be doing across all the seasons to look closely at the changes).
After our Autumn walk the children used some of the Autumn treasures we collected to make some Autumnal Artwork including; leaf printing, leaf rubbing and transient art. We had lots of fun!

Cleaning coins, by Miss Palacio
Date: 7th Oct 2024 @ 3:28pm
The children in Mary class have been making enquries into which substance would be the most effective at cleaning a dirty coin. They made sure to carry out a fair test by keeping the amount of solution the same and testing for the same amount of time. They even tested each solution againt the pH scale to see the acidity of each substance. After their experiment they did an extra test, adding some bicarbonate of soda to each solution to see if that cleaned the coins any better. They liked when the soda reacted with some of the solutions and began to bubble and foam.
