We lit up Rudolph's nose!

We had a Design and Technology Challenge this week! 
Make a circuit inside a box, with a switch to make Rudolph's nose light up! The children have been learning how to make switches from paper clips and split pins, and also from aluminium foil. The groups chose different ways of incorporating these into their designs, have a look and see!
We chose the tin foil switch to put on our Rudolph design. - Sarah, Elliot and Georgia


We  understood what to do and did it sensibly, and used our imagination . We used the paper clip because was better. - Emilie, Naomi and Kaylea


We opened the box with our thumb and then we turned it inside out and then we put the bulb in the middle of the box and we did a Rudolph  face on it and black and grey snow and snowflakes on it . - Kia Aeron and Josh


We made a woolly jumper for Rudolph  so he would look handsome.We used  tinfoil  and card to make a switch.William Wesley Natasha .

Meet George the Door Spider

This is George, the spider living on our classroom door. The children in Year 3 have lots of different feelings about him; some think he's cute, others consider him colourful, others think he's attractive and some believe him to be scary!
George is looking for a warm place to spend the winter, maybe our classroom will be his winter home!

Our Trip to Weaver Hall Museum

We found out what it was like to go to an old fashioned fairground. We had our fortunes told, took part in a gurning competition, and looked at the starving servants!

Best of all were the curiosities - a yeti's toe, a vampyre hunting kit and a fossilied fairy. Our favourite two exhibits were the inca skull and the tiger's skull.
