 Dear Turtle Class Families, It was so wonderful to see so many of you during our recent field trip to the Science Museum, where we were able to put our scientific skills into practice! The Turtle Class have recently learned how our five senses are so important when carrying out investigations, like real-life scientists!  If you would like to see more photographs of our recent Science Museum school trip, then please find the following Photo Albums: AM Class Science Museum adventure PM Class Science Museum adventure Next week we intend to continue developing our knowledge of the various properties of the materials found in our environment. We would therefore like to invite the boys and girls from the Turtle Class to bring in a toy from home to investigate the material it is made from on Tuesday 19th November!  Please ensure the toy is labelled with your child's name and that it can be easily placed inside your child's school bag.

However, due to adverse weather conditions, we were unable to complete this. If would be great if children could find some time this weekend to have a look at the story at home this weekend. To apply our knowledge practically, we enjoyed a shape hunt around the school during small group time. The children enthusiastically observed, sketched their designs, and discussed the combinations of shapes they discovered. It was a delightful and engaging experience! Thank you for your continued support. Please feel fre...
