Pine class have been learning about materials in Science. We have found that a material is what something is made of and this week we were learning about the properties of materials and how they help them to do their jobs. We also sorted materials according to their properties.

During lunchtime today children chose to join in with relay racing across the school field. A child led activity saw almost half the school tag teaming each other as they ran backwards and forwards across the field. The children worked collaboratively together with older pupils supporting younger ones, competitive children allowing others to take the lead and win. Teams didn't stay in place for long but everyone managed to take turns effectively and demonstrate team spirit throughout the whole 30 minutes of the activity.
Such a simple activity led to lots of social learning opportunities....and hopefully they will sleep well tonight!

Over the last few weeks Seedling have been looking at Families. We have discussed who is in our family, who we live with and our extended family who do not live with us. To demonstrate this, the children created pictures in a variety of ways such as drawing who lives in our house and making a house frame; we have also used pebbles or other craft materials, such as feathers, to represent our family members. Seedling created some excellent artwork.
