This morning, we were thrilled to welcome the Fizz Pop Science team into school for a fantastic assembly. The classroom was buzzing with excitement as the staff wowed us with incredible science experiments that sparked curiosity and amazement among our pupils. From mind-bending demonstrations to fun, hands-on learning, it was a brilliant way to bring science to life!

But the fun doesn’t stop there! Starting in January, Fizz Pop Science will be running an after-school science club with the exciting theme: “Science at Work” – exploring how science shapes the world around us in everyday life.
This is a wonderful opportunity for children to discover real-world science through engaging experiments and activities beyond the classroom.

Places are limited to 20 and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, so don’t miss out!

You need to sign up on their website: https://fizzpopscience.co.uk/afterschoolbooking/
See the poster attached below for more details, you must sign up through their website before 31st December!

Church of the Ascension – Letter – T3 26

Within our unit of art work this half term we have been considering ‘What colours and patterns can be found in nature?’ The children started off by looking closely at the autumnal objects found and brought into school and arranging them against their chosen background. Next, the children had a go at sketching their choice of objects,  including as much detail as possible. The children then created templates and used these to cut out their autumn objects from their choice of fabrics. Finally the children arranged and fixed their objects on a hessian background as well as adding a range of embellishments to reflect the patterns found in nature.

What a brilliant final Forest School session for class 1/2B.

Despite the cold, chilly weather, the children were full of energy and excitement, ready to explore and enjoy a fire-themed session with a sprinkle of Christmas magic.

We started with a festive game of “Hunt the Elf on a Branch”, before giving the children the chance to light a fire themselves. They also enjoyed making their own Christmas deorations, adding a lovely creative touch to the morning.

The favourites were in full swing – the mud kitchen, mud-pit digging, and den building kept everyone busy and happy. We finished the session by toasting marshmallows for s’mores and warming up with a hot chocolate.

A very chilly day at Forest School today, but the children kept warm by keeping busy! They worked together on two fun tasks — building shelters for the birds and going on a scavenger hunt to find worms for them.
There was plenty of mud fun too with the mud kitchen and the mud-pit den building.
We shared the story of How the Robin got his Red Breast, enjoyed waffles with strawberries and blueberries, played a round of Sneaky Bob, and finished with a song. A cold day, but a lovely one!
