5C have been enquiring as to whether they can clone a geranium plant. The children carefully cut took cuttings and placed them in water and will monitor over the coming weeks. If the geranium cuttings grow roots of their own, this will prove that they reproduce asexually and can make copies of themselves.

This term our music topic is myths and legends and in this lesson, we watched a short video of 'Merlin the Magician: The Legend of King Arthur'. We then discussed what the story would sound like if it were a piece of music, particularly the part where Arthur is pulling the sword from the stone.
We listened to the song 'Good King Arthur' and discussed the structure of the song then looked at playing simple 4 beat rhythms based on a phrase relating to the story.
Sorry, only one video would upload.

This term, in PSHE, we are learning about being healthy and the ways we can do this. In this lesson, we talked about sugar and the effects of having too much sugar every day. We found out that 7 year olds like us should not have more than 24g of sugar in a day and we were shocked to find out that a single can go Coca Cola has 34g of sugar in! We worked in pairs to plan the contents of a healthy lunchbox using our maths skills and a list of foods including their sugar content.

This term in history, we have been studying the work of Florence Nightingale.
We have researched; who she is, where she was from, what she did and how she changed nursing for the better.
From studying her life, we have learned what qualities a good nurse needs such as being; kind, caring, patient, skilled, a good listener, respectful, hard working, resilient and being hygienic.
We have also been able to make comparisons surrounding what both hospitals and nursing during the 1800s and now.
Today, we had a visitor. A real life, modern day nuse who works in Arrowe Park Hospital came into our class to answer the questions that we had raised about what it is like to be a modern day nure. Here are some of the questions we asked; Why did you want to be a nurse? What is it like being a nurse? How did you keep the people safe during the pandemic (this helped us comapre how nursing and hospitals were during the pandemic and the Crimean war), How did you help the patients stay in contact with their families during the pandemic? What do you have to do to become a nurse?
Lyndsey was lovely, she answered all of our questions in great detail and we will be able to use her answers to compare Florence Nightingale's experiences with a modern day nurse's in our next lesson.

We are very prepared for summer. We have a good understanding of how to keep ourselves and eachother safe in the sun.
As you can see we are able to;
Apply our own suncream to prevent us from getting burnt.
Make sure we wear our hats to protect our heads.
Some of us have sunglasses to protect our delicate eyes from the brightness of the sun.
Play in the shade if we get too hot.
We all know how important it is to drink plenty of fluids to keep ourselves hydrated.
And eat a healthy snack to fuel our brains.

Gunta Stolzl - Weaving
This term we have been learning all about an artist called Gunta Stolzl, a German textile artist who played a fundamental role in the development of the Bauhaus school's weaving workshop. As the Bauhaus' only female master she created enormous change within the weaving department as it transitioned from individual pictorial works to modern industrial designs.
We started off this unit by studying the her work and creating a fact file. We then had a go at creating our own looms using a sheet of paper and cutting strips of paper to practise weaving in and out, under and over.
As our topic was all about the seaside, we explored what the environment looks like beneath the ocean and sketched our very own under the sea scene in our sketch books using sketching pencils, oil pastels and coloured pencils. We then used this design to choose different colured and textured fabricks to actually weave our under the se scence.
Once this was completed, we observed our sketches and created sea creatures using felt, googley eyes and sequins. For this had to ensure that we studied the shapes of the creatures and choose fabricks that would capture the textures of the creatures too.
We absolutelty loved this unit of work!
