Children thoroughly enjoyed their workshop this week discussing the importance of their mental health. We were given great practical  strategies on how we can alleviate our worries and found out all about the chemicals that are released in our bodies when we maybe feeling under pressure.

it was also great to see our old friend Geoffrey the giraffe at the end of the session!

Week 27

Environmental workshops for all!
Kicking straight into the swing of things on day one this term, Lancelot took part in a workshop hosted by Carymoor Environment team. Learning about the importance of recycling, reusing and re- purposing. We had a brilliant time exploring how each individual can make a difference to the world around them.

Celebrating our Blue Peter badge winners

A special mention to those who were awarded their Blue Peter Badges over the Easter holidays. Emily and Chloe in Lancelot were awarded their music and sporting badges respectively. Jensen received his green badge for his work on the eco-council in school.

Working on our watercolours

The finishing touches to our flowers grown in our garden sketches were completed this week. This has enabled  us to use our watercolours to add colour and further detail and place these into a book to share with our friends in Mexico and France.

Week 26

Practical Science - Reversible and Irreversible Change

Continuing on from our successful science week, we were able to complete to further experiments looking at the properties of materials and whether their changes of state are reversible changes                                                                                                                               

We found that some changes result in the formation of new materials, and that this kind of change is not usually reversible, including changes associated with burning and the action of acid on bicarbonate of soda. 

Creating plastic from milk sounds impossible and as the two materials are so different it is a good way of showing that an irreversible reaction has occured resulting in the formation of a new material. We added vinegar to milk and watched the milk separate into a solid and a liquid known as curds and whey. Then we removed the water by filtering then dried it to hopefully leave casein as a brittle plastic!

Worker of the Week
Well done to Chloe, who is Lancelot’s Worker of the Week for coming back to school with a hard working attitude after being away. You have also shown great independence with your work. 
Star of the Week

Congratulations Oscar, you are Lancelot’s Star of the Week! Oscar has demonstrated a passion for his additional responsibilities as a librarian and designed a wonderful poster to inspire others to come into the library and read more. Well done.

Class Easter Egg Hunt with a Bit of Je ne sais quoi!

Lancelot enjoyed a French themed Easter egg Hunt this year. Not only did the children have to find and solve 8 clues hidden around the school but they had to do this whilst being connected at all times to their partners! Successful teams were able to earn themselves two extra Easter treats which went down very well! Madame Sherry was delighted with the outcome and all of the new facts the children have learnt on how the French celebrate Easter.

This week is Science Week! With the  overall theme of Time this year, we will be looking at how this can be represented over experiments throughout the week. 

The children took part in six experiments on Tuesday - these experiments ranged from exploding elephant toothpaste, combining oil , water and effervescent tablets to make lava lamps and we even made our own class clock using a potato and a couple of lemons! 
The class have also taken part in a whole school science project with Mr Gordon

to make a plastic polymer piece of art!

Week 23

Wow, what another busy week!

World Book Day

Whatever our age, we all loved dressing up on Thursday for our annual World Book Day!

We shared our favourite books and stories and participated in the Eco book swap organised by The Eco Team and Mr Gallagher. The children loved sitting down in the 'reading lounge' to enjoy a quiet read with their hot-chocolate and biscuits!

The day’s activities ranged from receiving letters from Preston Primary Year 6 children, sharing their love of books, listening to Helen. Rutter talk to us about being an author, and what inspires her, becoming illustrators, designing our book covers, and we can still hear the ringing of the bell throughout the day where we had to stop whatever we were doing and had time to  read for enjoyment. 

Crime and Punishment - Shepton Mallet Prison

To support our topic on Crime and Punishment this term, our trip took us to HMP Shepton Mallet. We learnt a lot about the history of the prison and the punishments that went alongside the crimes that took place. A detailed tour of the prison allowed the children to have an immersive experience and enabled them to understand the conditions people were held in. 

Galliford Try STEM workshop
On Wednesday, we were visited by Jean and Sam from Galliford Try.They came to talk to us about the work they do and to answer the children's questions regarding the improvements to the A303 road, which many of the children live near or use to travel on.

The children tried on some of the PPE which the workers wear, as well as take part in a STEM activity. They were challenged by Sam to build a structure which would be strong enough to support an iPhone - very brave, using only 40 straws.

Celebrating Mardi Gras 2024

Better late than never, Excalibur and Lancelot children celebrated Mardi Gras this week. The actual date for Mardi Gras is always held on Shrove Tuesday, so unfortunately due to this being in half term this year our festivities had to wait until this week. The children researched what happens on Mardi Gras and why it is celebrated, whilst adorning masks, headdresses and beads. They are looking forward to sampling some King Cake next week to complete their topic.

Practical Science Afternoon

This lesson helped the children to recap the properties of materials they have learned about in earlier year groups as well as developing their skills of identifying, classifying and grouping materials by their properties. Children had the chance to investigate the hardness, transparency and response to magnets of a range of materials and group them by these properties. 

 

World Thinking Day

It was wonderful to see so many of Lancelot in their Scouting or Guiding movement
uniforms, marking World Thinking Day on Thursday. The day is an initiative led by the Guiding movement for groups across the world to think about each other, the groups that they are a part of and any important topical issues.
