Science experiment
For
home work we would like you to work on your projects for science week: March
21st-23rd. As
part of science week the children are challenged to take part in our science
competition. They will need to investigate a
scientific problem or a science question that interests them. Ideally, the
children will carry out an experiment, survey or test, rather than
researching the answer to a question in books or on the internet. Children
can present their work on up to A1
(84cm x 59cm) paper and can bring in objects or photographs to show the
results of their experiments. Judges will be
looking at:

Our Trip To Crane Park
ReplyDeleteToday me and my class, Waterloo, went to Crane Park. We went to find out about habitats. We took food and water with us, as well as cameras!
First we went to the bus stop to catch a bus. It was a double decker, 111. We all chattered on, waiting to get off. When we did, we went down a twisty path, that led to Crane Park.
At the end of the path, a man was standing in front of an old tower. He told us that it was used for making gunpowder and the it was called the Shot Tower. We were split into 2 groups and I did mini beast hunt first. We found lots of amazing creatures!
We had a yummy and fun lunch. We saw lots of cute doggies. Then we went to a pond to fish for creatures that live in the habitat. We saw some wriggly worms and lots of insects. Then we went river dipping. We got very wet feet. We found lots of shrimp. Mr Smith even found a fish!
We said goodbye to Crane Park and went back to school. We came back with the memory of the exciting adventure. And soggy feet too!
