2D Trip to New Brighton, by Mrs Cameron-Ivanov
Date: 18th Jun 2019 @ 10:37am
On Monday 2D and 2C went on a trip to New Brighton.
We spent the first part of the morning taking in the sights and spotted lots of physical and human geography around us.
During the second part of the morning, we helped Coastal Ranger Dave tidy up New Brighton beach by using some litter pickers to collect washed up plastic and other bits of rubbish. Can you guess how much litter we collected? 2 whole bags which were really heavy. Dave told us to remember to recycle properly and help reduce the amount of plastic we use because it is polluting our seas and rivers.
We also took time to do some sketches of our surrounding area, looking at what we could see in the North, East, South and West, as well as enjoy an ice lolly. How yummy!

We will be using these photographs to sketch the waterfront and will be comparing the River Mersey to the Yangtze River throughout our China study.

WOW!! 6C had a special morning with a visitor from High Impact Science, who taught us all about our circulatory and respiratory system. We saw and held a lamb’s pluck (lungs, heart and trachea), played a game as if we were blood cells. After break, we had the chance to dissect our own lamb’s heart and discover the different atriums and ventricles.
We had a great time and especially loved feeling everything ourselves.

2C FaceTime a Farmer
Class 2C have had an exciting time today learning all about our link farm that we have begun learning all about. We found out from Mr.Scott all about his farm, the size of the farm, who farms it and all about the animals he keeps and looks after. We even found out that it takes a year of sheep dog school to train a working farm dog! We compared the size and weight of the lambs on the farm to our pet dogs to understand how big the animals are. We are looking forward to finding more about the farm and how our science and geography lessons are connected to the farm in Newtownstewart, Northern Ireland.
