Classifying Animals

25th January 2022Nicola Robson

This week we have been learning about carnivores, herbivores and omnivores. We worked collaboratively to group animals before writing about them.

I wonder if you can remember what sort of teeth each group have?

This week in Class 4

  • Helping each other
  • Building a boat to live in
  • “A house for my chickens”

Fantastic Food Chains

Today in class 6 we were learning about food chains. The children worked in collaborative groups to sort pictures to make food chains. It was lovely to see them all engaged in their learning.

Making predictions

18th January 2022Nicola Robson

As part of our new expedition we set up an experiment to see how different objects react to being submerged in water. We added tissues, a swim nappy, a plastic toy and a packet of crisp to bowls of water and will keep observing them over the next few weeks!


Making Jellyfish

18th January 2022Nicola Robson

As part of our immersion we all made Jellyfish. The children were preserving parrots and concentrating crocodiles as some found the threading quite challenging.
