Discovery Day Monday

Hi everyone. We are very excited about our Discovery Day on Monday.
During the day the other classes will be visiting us to try out some of the
experiments and activities.
Later in the day, parents are very welcome to come and see what we've been
up to. We will be open until 5.30pm. (Children might need to bring some
extra afternoon tea!).
A notice regarding this will be heading your way tomorrow. We'd love to see
you there any time during the day.
We have been learning to think like scientists and can't wait to share our
knowledge with you. I have been so impressed by the way the children
are working and the effort they are putting into their learning.
Once again, we need to thank Mrs Wiseman for all her support, time and
encouragement. (Not to mention the resources!)
See you on Monday!

SCIENCE FAIR

Yesterday we talked about what we could do for the Science Fair.

Because we've had to work on our speeches for the competition and also

complete the Production - and learn lines, we have run out of time a little if we

wanted to get our entries in to this year's Science Fair. We know that we could do it, but

we'd only have time to do one-off short experiments. This would not allow

depth of learning in science and would not increase our knowledge of

the Scientific Method so...

What We're Up To Now

We are going to spend the next 6 weeks learning about science and

exploring a wider range of experiments to find out what we want to investigate

in depth. We will hold a Science Fair and it will be the Room 8 Science Fair.

Our tentative date will be in Week 9 and we will open up the room for the afternoon

and part of the evening for parents and family members to come along and see what

we've been learning - and also for them to participate in some experiments that the

children will set up.

By working and learning this way, we will develop our science knowledge to a greater depth

which will also help us prepare well for science in Year 7. We will also be incorporating

our reading, writing and maths by reading great examples of well-written reports,

writing our own and also using our knowledge of measurement and statistics to complete

the write-up and presentation of our reports.
