Last week, 3W carried out a science experiment to find out what happens to soil when it is mixed with water and washing-up liquid. We patiently waited for a whole week to see what would happen. We discovered that the soil separated into different layers. 😀

🍁 Year 2 Autumn Masterpieces! 🎃
Our talented Year 2 artists have been celebrating the beauty of the season in their latest art lesson! The children took on the tricky challenge of continuous line drawing, carefully sketching autumn pumpkins and leaves without lifting their pens from the page.
To bring their drawings to life, they explored watercolours by blending a beautiful palette of warm autumn colours—from glowing oranges to rich, golden yellows. We are so proud of their focus and creativity!
