Year 4 Science Week Outdoor Learning, by Mrs Cameron-Ivanov
Date: 18th Mar 2022 @ 12:02pm
For our outdoor learning this week we have been looking at classification with a focus on earthworms. Did you know there are 3 types of earthworm? Earthworkers, deep burrowers and surface dwellers. They are all different in colour and size.
We started by searching for worms, which was great fun! Then we had time to research the 3 different types of worms and what the differences were between them. Using a worm identifcation sheet and hand lenses, we observed our worms carefully and asked questions to identify what type of worms we had found. Finally, in partners we created our own worm classification keys, using the knowledge we had gained.

Science Week Commences..., by Mr Nathan
Date: 14th Mar 2022 @ 8:58pm
Children of 6E ventured to Lower Site to seek help for their Science Week activity - they were looking to collect a data sample to figure out whether boys and girls of the same age have a larger handspan. For this they had to accumulate a large enough sample of data - over 100 handspans from EYFS children should suffice.
Lucas (6E) stated: 'It was great working with the younger children. They listened beautifully and helped us with our research.'

Throughout this week, 6E will be analysing the sample by calculating the average-sized handspan for an F2 boy and girl. Even though there is plenty of mathematics involved, the children cannot wait to feed back to the children in F2.
Heidi (6E) said, 'They were asking all sorts of great questions about our work. They were really trying to justify their opinions.'
It was lovely for both sets of children to come together - the eldest and some of the youngest children in the school.
'We cannot wait to come again. It was really interesting and fun to work with F2. They learned from us and we learned from them,' said Gracie (6E).

We have loved showing our support for Ukraine in school today. We have been busy raising awareness and funds for families affected by the current conflict.

Climate in Chaos - Filming at Heswall Primary!, by Miss M Jones
Date: 11th Mar 2022 @ 11:34am
Some lucky eco and school councillors took part in a special filming event with Impossible Arts at Heswall Primary yesterday!
This outstanding opportunity highlights the importance of looking after our planet, and details the damaging effects of climate change.
Children had dilligently rehearsed lines and practiced a song based on the book 'A Climate in Chaos: and How You Can Help' by Neal Layton, which you can find here:
As well as this, we also created lots of artwork in the style of Neal's illustrations.
We then ventured to Heswall Primary school, where we bravely filmed our parts - some of us even had props!
The film will be shown as part of a climate summit following on from COP26.
Once all of the other schools have recorded their parts, the film will be edited and a premiere will be held before being published to the world!

To celebrate World Book Day we have had an exciting visitor in school. Jacqueline Derbyshire and Beatri (a character from the book) came in to speak to us and read some of her book called 'The Roadside Fairies'. It was inspiring to hear about how she wrote the book during lockdown and is hoping to bring more books out soon. Our children had a great time listening to the story, asking questions and being sprinkled in magic fairy dust - we hope that all of their wishes come true!
