Clay, by Mrs Fletcher

Today 45 children chose to work with clay. Instead of using traditional clay they had the opportunity to work with silk clay which is very soft and comes in lovely colours . They were set the task of creating three dimensional samba dancers using the clay, jewels and feathers . Everyone worked hard and produced amazing models.

Pupils from Y1 to Y6 have produced some fantastic digital art today!

Exploring states of matter, by Mrs Pratten

Yesterday the Bears had fun finding out how the particles in solids, liquids and gases are different. They went outside and. packed tightly together for solids, looser for liquids and freer for gases.
Next, was investigating how solids can turn into liquids and how different liquids will melt at different rates.

Splashing about in the river........, by Mrs Pratten
Date: 9th May 2016 @ 3:43pm
The Bears had a fabulous time studying the River Lostock, we caught some interesting "critters" in the river, we measured how fast the river was flowing, using ducks. We also learnt some new river vocabulary , meander, deposit action, transportation are some examples. This afternoon we carried out some panning, ( unfortunately no gold!) and looked at how the river had changed the appearance of the stones and rocks. We also had a raft race and measured how wide and deep the river was. A fantastic day, helped by the weather, some very weary Bears returned back to school!

Experimenting with liquids, by Mrs Pratten
Date: 6th May 2016 @ 6:54pm
The Bears had fun testing how quickly liquids would run down a slope, we set up a fair test and timed the liquids. We predicted that water would be the fastest and most predicted syrup. We were right with water but amazed at how slow tomato sauce was!
