We started our new science topic today, learning all about solids, liquids and gases. We became particle diagrams to explore how each state of matter is made and how this allows some matters to move and not others @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips

We used our oracy techniques this morning in RE to discuss people we know that bring light to our lives, just like Jesus brought light to the lives of many @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips

We were VERY excited to receive a reply from Prince William to our courageous advocacy letter about ideas to improve air quality in our local area. I wonder what ideas we can come up with this year to positively impact the environment? @StPhilipsY5C @StPhilipCEAP #teamstphilips

We visited the orchard today and investigated where moss grew. We found out that moss grows on the darker and damper side of the tree. We also found signs of a fox entry in the thistles. #teamstphilips

We have had an amazing day on our @Vibeukoutdoors. The children have been taught how to effectively use the bow and arrow in archery. We have made fire and toasted marshmallows to make s’mores. We also got extremely wet on the lake whilst canoeing. Such a fun day! #teamstphilips
