This week, we have been celebrating Black History Month. We discussed what this means and why it is important. We then watched a Bigfoot Education film called All Aboard the Windrush. This was based on real life stories of people that travelled on Empire Windrush from Kingston, Jamaica to Tilsbury, Essex. We loved learning all …

To kick off our new Science topic of Materials, we made Alien Soup. We received strict instructions from an alien personally on how to create the perfect Alien Soup. However, once we’d finished following the instructions carefully, we found out we needed to get the salt back! We were quite confused by this at first …
