Holy Trinity celebrate British Science Week 2022
Today, Holy Trinity celebrated the start of British Science Week. Each class are participating in their own exciting growth activities.Clee started to talk about ideas and what growth meant to them today. I have seen some wonderful seed planting in Earls Hill and beans are growing in Wrekin Class. Caradoc are going to be looking at the tadpoles growing in Mrs Morgan’s pond via video and pictures. Longmynd will be investigating plants and their functions, whilst Ercall and Hawkstone are investigating the effect of sound on the growing of cress seeds. Stiperstones are looking at the size of planets and will be investigating the growth of crators. Finally, Haughmond will be investigating the growth of mould and bacteria and the growth of penguins in the Antarctic.
In assembly this morning, we learnt about how growth can be explored in so many different ways, as well as the definition of growth – Growth can mean the process of increasing in size or the progressive development of something.
Each class have been given their own sunflower seed and we will be having a school competition to see which class can grow the tallest sunflower.
The children will hopefully have come home with competition details today on designing their own posters on anything to do with growth. The posters will be judged at school and the there will be one winner awarded to each class with a prize and then the winners will be put forward to a national competition. Entries need to be into school by Tuesday 12th April. Here is the link for more details on the competition.: britishscienceweek.org/ plan-your-activities/poster-competition
Have fun with your wonderful competition ideas. I can’t wait to see them.
