Year 1 Egg Drop

Farmer Ben asked us to design and make a container to carry the chick eggs safely from the farm to us.

We had great fun planning, making and best of all testing our containers!

Some worked and some went SPLAT!

These containers did not work…

Why do you think these did not work?

These did work…

Why do you think these worked?
Sam kept a record of our predictions and results. Thanks Sam.

Nursery make chips!

Today something exciting happened. Emmeline and Helen were digging the the garden and they discovered that some potatoes had grown!

They found 8 potatoes!

We spoke about what we could make with the potatoes and some children said chips.

  • The potatoes were very dirty.
  • We scrubbed them clean.

Then we carefully chopped the potatoes into smaller pieces. It was very tricky.

While we waited for the chips to cook, we wrote some signs to tell people to come to our chip shop!

We washed up.

Hooray the chips are ready! We shared them with our friends. They were delicious.

Storm Ciara

Storm Ciara was a talking point today. We spoke about the weather over the weekend and looked at some pictures of the damage caused by the storm.

  • We looked at floods, falling trees and a trampoline on the roof of a house!

We went outside to look at the damage in our own garden.

We put on our coats independently. Please try this at home too.
  • Our easels had blown over and were full of rainwater.

It was still windy so we decided to make some kites.

  • Sticking
  • Patterning
  • Cutting
  • Measuring

Next, we flew our kites in the wind!

What a fun day of learning!

We love our library!

Today, we visited the school library. We will now be visiting every Wednesday. We enjoyed reading lots of different kinds of books.

This is what some of us thought about our time in the library today…

“It was very relaxing” Julie-Grace

“It was very peaceful” Sam

“I liked the Where’s Wally books” Lorenzo

“I read our Penguin book in the library” Mason

Year 5/6 Basketball Pathway Competition

On Thursday 23rd January some children from Years 5 and 6 took part in a Basketball competition.

Well done to everyone! Everyone played really well and we are really proud of you! Holbeach were spotted as the most respectful team out of the many taking part. Ms Bozzao said that our team were very considerate of each other and that they showed that they knew the rules very well.
