Small Paul – A Tale of Positivity!
In these worrying times, here is a lovely, short and simple story to help us all, but especially our pupils:
Washing our Hands
We have been learning about the importance of washing our hands with soap to fight off germs. We did an experiment with soap and peppery water to represent the germs and saw how the soap repelled the pepper (germs).
Easter Eggs
In R.E. we have been learning about symbolism associated with Easter, including finding out about why we have Easter eggs. We decorated our own eggs to put on our prayer tree for the Easter season. All of our eggs included the cross as we decided this was the most important symbol of Easter.
Our Visit to Chirk Castle
On Friday 13th March we visited Chirk Castle. We learnt about what life used to be like in the castle for the servants and found out about the life of the guards who defended Chirk against enemies.
World Book Day
For World Book Day this year, the children in Pimhill and Haughmond dressed up as characters from their favourite stories. Here are some of their fabulous costumes!
Waterproof Materials
As part of our Science this half term we have been learning about significant British scientists and inventors. We learnt about Charles Macintosh and waterproof materials. We thought about the floods in Shrewsbury and then investigated different materials to make waterproof outfits for people who have to work in the floods. We then wrote to the Environment Agency with our findings.
Australia Day
On Monday 27th January we celebrated Australia Day in order to raise money for people and animals affected by the bushfires. We learnt all about Koalas and also did some amazing aboriginal style dot paintings!
Telephones
In our Science lessons we have been learning about inventors and engineers who changed the world. We found out about Alexander Graham Bell and how he created the telephone. We made string telephones and tested them.
