Year One enjoyed their science experiment this week. We had the question 'can children with bigger feet jump further than children with smaller feet?' In groups, the children measured their feet and jumped as far as they could.

Ash class enjoyed a day of art this week. We learnt how to colour using oil pastels, worked with clay again and used cotton buds to paint.

Ash class have explored shadows today. We experimented with opaque, translucent and transparent objects. We had a great discussion and decided that opaque objects cast the best shadows because they allow no light through them.

Ash class have enjoyed using dark boxes in science to investigate light. We predicted which item would be visible with the least light and why we thought that.
