World Book Day

Date: 7th Mar 2020 @ 8:50am

The children have had a wonderful day. We used a scene from Ronald Dahl’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to pose a scientific question: can sweets grow bigger? Using gummy bears and water the children set out to find the answer. They placed their bears in pots with a small amount of water and left them for an hour. Mrs Fletcher wasn’t allowed any water for her bear to make it a fair test. After an hour the children found that the bears in water had grown to be twice the size of Mrs Fletcher’S bear.

Next the children became architects , designing buildings made from sweets. They then wrote letters to Willy Wonka to tell him about their buildings. 

After dinner we added to the whole school story before learning how to make origami books. The children then became authors and illustrators creating their own science or space themed books.

The children have all had an amazing day, I hope they enjoy sharing their new books with you and don’t forget to  spend the book vouchers.
