Diary dates
ARE WE ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE? Y5 participated in a P4C enquiry based on the text ‘Here we are.’ We built our discussion around the question, ‘Are we alone in the universe?’ What do you think? Investigating Rocks Y3 have been investigating the properties of rocks. We have been looking at permeability and density. The children used excellent teamwork skills to investigate different rocks before using their communication skills to discuss their findings using the scientific vocabulary they have learned.
