Y1 Knowsley Safari Park, by Mrs Harrison
Date: 24th Mar 2017 @ 4:20pm
Year 1 had a fantastic time at Knowsley Safari Park along side Year 2 and Year 4.
We developed our understanding about how to identify features which allow us to group animals.
Some children even touched a snake and a giant African snail!
The most popular event during the trip was the sealion show where we met some cheeky chaps.
In the afternoon, we took a trip around the safari park spotting our favourite animals and learning about those unfamilar animals. We even saw baboons climbing on top of cars!

The children are enjoying seeing acting live and I am sure it will encourage them to participate in similar events in the future.

The 'Choc' Cycle - Year 3 Science, by Miss Jones
Date: 22nd Mar 2017 @ 8:51pm
We had lots of fun today in science. We were learning about the rock cycle and used chocolate to help us understand how the three different types of rocks are formed. Here is what we found out:
The melted chocolate represented the molten rock or magma that is turns to lava when a volcano erupts. When lava cools, it forms igneous rocks.
Grating the chocolate igneous rocks represented the process of weathering where rivers and the weather break up rocks into bits of sediment.
We layered the 'sediment' and put pressure on the top to show how sedimentary rocks are formed.
When this set, we cut it open to reveal the layers inside.
Finally, we took some of the sedimentary rock and squeezed it in our hands to represent the amount of pressure and heat needed to turn a sedimentary rock into a metamorphic rock.
Using chocolate really helped us understand the different stages to the rock cycle ☺️

WORLD BOOK DAY!
We really enjoyed World Book Day in Year 2! This year we had a global focus and seeing as our class topic is Africa, we chose the story 'Handa's Surprise'. We had a full day of art based around the story. We all painted or collaged an animal from the story and helped create the background scenery. The display is now pride of place in the Year 2 corridor, please come and check it out!
