Year 3 Visit to Tesco, by Miss Jones
Date: 11th Oct 2017 @ 10:41pm
What a fabulous time we have had at Tesco! Have a look at our gallery to see what we got up to.
As part of our science topic, Year 3 visited the Tesco store in Chester and took part in a Farm to Fork Trail. They learnt about the importance of healthy eating and how we can make healthy good choices. First, the children took part in a fruit and vegetable colour hunt. Then, we visited the sugar aisle to learn where sugar comes from and how much we should eat in a day. Did you know children should have no more than 6 cubes of sugar and adults should have no more than 7?
After that, we went in the warehouse and tasted lots of healthy snacks that we could haveto reduce the amount of sugar we eat. We tasted prunes, wraps, carrot sticks, cucumber, cream cheese, sunflower seeds and tzatziki. Next, the children visited the cereal aisle so that they could predict and measure the amount of sugar in some of our favourite cereals. We were shocked to see so much sugar in most of the cereals. Finally, we used selected some low sugar ingredients to make our own breakfast cereal to take home.
Thank you to Mrs Jenson, Mrs Wood, Clive's mum, Abby's mum and Liam's mum for coming along and helping with our visit.

Year 4 'Talking Rubbish!', by Mrs Hover
Date: 4th Oct 2017 @ 6:48pm
We all learnt lots today with our safari rangers from Chester Zoo. After a chat sharing what we knew about 'rubbish', we worked in groups to decide which objects belong in the sea and which objects don't. We looked at biodegradable and non-biodegradable objects and then attempted to order the objects based on how long they take to break down. We discussed how our rubbish can be dangerous to animals and finally, we learnt what we could do to help - Recycle, Reuse, Reduce. The children then enjoyed asking many good questions about today's workshop and the animals at Chester Zoo.
Next week we are going to look at the website http://clearplasticuk.net

Year 2 had a fantastic time at 'Underwater Street Imagine That!' in Liverpool today.
They explored the imagination village where we were able to become and play different roles in restaurants, hair salons, vets, on and back stage, construction sites and many more!
The class continued to develop their scientific investigation skills by exploring and playing with light, magnets, sounds, water and sand. In the science workshops and shows the children created bath bombs, slime, gigantic bubbles, erupting volcanoes and exploding rockets!
The children used their creative skills to make character bags, fridge magnets and even helped decorate a real life car!
Year 2 had a fantastic day and are looking forward to sharing all their creations at home.
