GETTING OUR HANDS DIRTY!
As an introduction to our new spring topic on 'Water and Africa', the children enjoyed getting their hands dirty during our scientific experiment on filtering.
The challenge was to make a filter, using a variety of materials, that made dirty water as clear as possible. The children developed their scientific skills of observation, questioning and drawing conclusions.

WHAT A DESCRIPTION!
The children have been working hard at improving their descriptive writing skills. This week they have studied how to write an excellent character description, using characters from 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'.
Here is Nicole's fantastic piece of work:
I stared at the mythical creature standing nervously in front of me. His legs were goat's legs which were covered in glossy, black hair and were as dark as the night. Above his strange goat's legs, the mythical creature, which I was sure was a faun, had a human torso. His chapped lips, which were as red as rosies, quivered with shyness. His piercing, sky-blue eyes were darting around furtively, always on the look out. Stroking his short faun goatie, which was as pointy as a needle, he wondered what I was. Then he started fiddling with his curly, brown hair. When this animal thinks, his tail swishes around playfully. This weird, melancholic creature's name was Mr Tumnus.
