Your Science Badge is waiting for you!

Hi Everyone

Hope you enjoyed watching and taking part in some of the Great Science Share videos and investigations from yesterday. If you didn’t have time yesterday- I know your teachers have been setting lots of exciting activities for you at home.

We would love you all to fill in the simple form attached by pressing the link below. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/587f5ff0cd0f68e84c525083/t/5ee8a33299a4dd47c9d4d621/1592304443507/Scientist+form+GSS+with+links+and+form+fields+2020.pdf

Just simply write down your question that you have been investigating at home and your results. Fill in the details and you could be sent your special science badge. You only need to write a couple of sentences in each box. We are unable to do this for you, as your parents need to fill in their details.

We would love you all to receive a badge. Good luck super scientists!!!

The Great Science Share.

Good morning Everyone – I hope you are all well.

Today is the Great Science Share – a chance to share any of the fantastic Science that you have been doing at home.

All the teachers have been sending home different science activities for you to complete and take part in.

We are hoping now, that we can share all of this great science amongst our community and with your teachers.

Could you please send us a picture with a question of what you have been investigating. (either via Dojo or on email to your class teacher) If we submit these photographs – you can win a badge. We also get put into a big prize draw as well as sharing all the wonderful science work you are completing at home.

An example may be: Who can blow the longest bubble? Did the material make a difference? Did the bottle used make a difference?

You could also share your results if you wish.

You can look at https://www.greatscienceshare.org/#about-1for more ideas.

We can’t wait to see your pictures.

Thanks so much and keep safe xx

Meet Florence – Science at Work

Hi Everyone,

Hope you are all okay and staying safe!

I expect you have all been going outside at 8.00 pm to clap for the NHS and all the Key workers? You have probably all heard about the Nightingale Hospitals that have opened in all the big cities. Well, we have the chance to take a step back in History and hear the life story of Florence Nightingale.

She talks about life from a young age and what made her decide on becoming a nurse.

My daughter has just qualified as a nurse and I am so proud of her. It’s a scary time, but I can’t begin to imagine how proud all the health care workers, doctors and nurses feel right now as they do their jobs.

Here is Sian at the beginning of her training and now working as a fully qualified nurse.

This is a great opportunity for you to ask any questions to Florence Nightingale, to Sian or to the two doctors below.

Zania and Phoebe(the two doctors) will be doing an interview next week on 5th May – where they will be answering any questions you have.

Click here to download the activity sheet about Zania and Phoebe and don’t forget to send us your questions and pictures by 3 pm on Thursday 30th April. You can do this by completing the form on the Science at Work https://pstt.org.uk/

Please keep any of the sheets that you download or questions that you write, so that I can use them for display when you are back. This activity may get you thinking about what you would like to do when you leave school?

Guinea Pig Update

Hello, some of you have been asking about our school guinea pig Fluffy, wondering how he is coping whilst we are not at school.

Fluffy is a very happy and healthy guinea pig, he has been enjoying the sunshine and time on the grass, eating dandelions- his favourite! He still has lots of cuddles and purrs when he is stroked.

Fluffy did think about exploring the garden!

A very happy guinea pig who loves cuddles.

Happy News

There are lots of worrying stories on the news at the moment but also lots of happy stories. I would like you to make a contribution to our own Happy Newspaper, write a news report about something you have watched, listened to, read or just heard about that you think would make others happy to read.

You could use the template below, log on to Purple Mash or make your own. Remember a good news report needs a catchy headline to grab the readers attention.

BBC Newsround broadcast a weekly Happy News item, you may want to write about that.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/50434875

It could be a story on the news which made you smile like the rare goats who went on an adventure around the Welsh town of Llandudno.

Or simply the beautiful rainbows you may see in people’s windows when you go for your daily walk.

Our visit from a beekeeper

Caradoc class enjoyed a visit from Kirsty Williams who is a beekeeper from the Ceiriog Valley in Wales. Kirsty has over 100 beehives all kept in different places. The children learnt lots of interesting facts about bees and beekeeping and had the opportunity to ask lots of questions. They were able to look at and handle the wax frames and even got to taste two types of honey. What a fantastic afternoon and a great learning opportunity as part of our science work on habitats.

Our week in Caradoc

We have had the most amazing week in Caradoc. The children have loved supporting the Year 6 pupils with their ‘fiver challenge’. Especially soaking Mr Dickson and Mr Kenyon!

In Maths the children have been finding the mass of different objects and taking part in some problem solving challenges.

Mrs Lloyd has been busy helping the children to design a healthy vegetarian pizza for Red Riding Hood’s celebration feast.They have enjoyed tasting lots of different toppings and choosing their favourites.They are very excited about making their pizzas and sharing them with parents and careers on our Inspire Feast day on Monday.

Finally, the ‘Into the Woods’ drama workshop led by Clare from Activate Performing Arts was a huge success…there are lots of budding actors in Caradoc!
