Behaviours for learning
As part of behaviours for learning focus today Puffins have been expanding their concentration techniques. First we have to count to 50 without saying the number 4, then we had to not get distracted by our friends pulling faces at us (even when they were really funny!) and finally we had to balance a book on our heads whilst moving. All of these skills take an amazing amount of concentration and the Puffins were great at it.
Anti-bullying Week
As part of our Anti-bullying week we have been learning about how we are all different and all the same. Today we worked in groups and discussed what makes us different to each other.
Anti-bullying week discussion

But… we are all equal.

ThinkTank Museum trip
What a fantastic day we have had at the ThinkTank! We saw lots of amazing things and joined in a great lesson all about Light and Dark. Thank you to the fab parent volunteers for their hard work.
Exploring shadows
The Puffin class are continuing the science theme of light and dark this week. Today they have been exploring how shadows are created.
Science experiment
In our science lesson today we have experimented with light and objects to see. First we made our predictions and then we tested which materials were opaque and which materials were transparent.
Light and Dark
This week for our science topic Puffins have been learning all about ‘Light and Dark’ in preparation for our trip to the ThinkTank next week. So far they have discussed sources of light and whether they are natural or man-made. Also they have discovered which animals are nocturnal and which are diurnal.
