Year 1 and 2 - Mad Science Workshop!
Year 1 had a fantastic time in their Mad Science workshop this week! They learned about atoms — the tiny building blocks of everything — and used marshmallows and toothpicks to build their own molecule models. The highlight of the session was making slime with PVA glue and borax, exploring how different materials combine to create something new. It was a fun, hands-on way to bring science to life! Not to be outdone, Year 2 became mini scientists too, building molecule models and discovering how atoms link together to make all sorts of amazing things!
Nursery - Dentistry Workshop!
Nursery had a fun and educational visit from a dentist this week, all about how to keep our teeth healthy. The children learned about the importance of brushing twice a day, eating tooth-friendly foods, and visiting the dentist regularly. They enjoyed taking part in practical demonstrations and were fascinated by the oversized toothbrushes and models of teeth! It was a lovely session that encouraged great dental habits in our youngest learners.
Reception - A Visit from Age UK Barnet!
Reception had a very special visit from Age UK Barnet this week to help create a beautiful Friendship Tree. The children worked alongside older visitors to decorate leaves with kind words, drawings, and messages about friendship. It was heartwarming to see the children and adults sharing stories and laughter as they worked together. The finished tree is now proudly displayed in the classroom as a reminder of the joy that comes from kindness and connection.
Year 3 - Positive and Negative Handprints!
In their art lesson this week, Year 3 explored the concept of positive and negative space by creating striking handprint artwork. The children began by tracing their hands and experimenting with different colour contrasts to make their designs stand out. They learned how the shapes and spaces around their hands could be used creatively to produce bold, eye-catching effects. The classroom was soon filled with vibrant prints that showed a wonderful mix of imagination and technique — a brilliant display of artistic thinking and creativity!
