Planting Mysterious Beans
Bitterns have started off their Science topic of plants by planting some mysterious beans that we received. Most of the children suspect the beans have been sent from Jack (Jack and the Beanstalk has been our Literacy topic). As a class we learnt about what a plant needs to grow and we used this understanding to help us to plant our magic beans. We will be observing and recording their growth over the coming weeks.Â
Science Day
This years science day focus was Animals. The Bitterns learnt about different groups of animals, habitats and what animals need to stay healthy. They started the day by looking at a range of animals and categorising them into groups. After this we learnt what a habitat is and explored some different types of habitats. We embarked on a minibeast hunt, exploring habitats within our school grounds. To finish the day we joined together with the KS2 children to undertake a fun science experiment.
Henry Blogg Lifeboat Museum Trip
The Bitterns enjoyed a wonderful trip to the Henry Bloggs Lifeboat Museum in Cromer. We started the day by catching the train from Salhouse Station. On the way we played eye spy and some of us got to go to the back of the train and help with the announcements! Once we arrived at the museum we learnt about some heroic rescues at sea. We loved looking round the museum, learning morse code and trying on some of the life jackets. After lunch we had some time to explore the pirate play area. What an adventure!
