In our topic we worked in our teams to learn about different parts of the body. Rhys’ team learned about the brain and Jay’s team learned about the lungs. We made a lung by blowing up a balloon and using a plastic bottle. We got to see how our lungs blow in and out when we breathe.

Freya and P5/6/7 have been learning about Wind Turbines. We found out that wind turbines are sometimes like a pest to people who live near them. We have also been learning why the makers of the wind turbines base it on the 3 or 2 bladed turbines instead of having them with more blades. They might break if they have lots of blades so the makers don’t want to risk it.

Alicia and p4/5 have been learning about materials so far we have learned different materials can do different things . We have done experiments on different things.

Alfie: and p1/2 have been learning about weather we have been making weather sounds with musical instruments and we have made weather questions for our learning.
