Making Cakes









As part of our science topic 'materials', we spent yesterday afternoon making cakes! We learned that besides changing between solid,liquid and gas,there are other changes that can happen to materials. Sometimes,once a change has happened, it can't be changed back.
Cake isn't just a mixture of ingredients. Cooking changes the molecules to make a new material.

Team Building







To kick start our very first creative curriculum theme in Year 6 - 'New Beginnings', we took part in a team building exercise called the 'Tyre Game'. We were very fortunate to have two very experienced visitors come into school this morning and facilitate the activity. The 'Tyre Game' is used to teach participants how to work as a team. We had to imagine that the course marked out represented an acid swamp. Using tyres, we had to cross the swamp without touching the acid. It was harder than it looked, especially when the crocodiles arrived! We had to really co-operate and listen to each other. All three teams made it across eventually. We were hot and bothered but we really did enjoy taking part.
