🧪 Science in year 5! 🥼

This term, our year 5 scientists have been learning about materials and their properties through hands-on, collaborative investigations. The children explored how to separate mixtures using sieving, filtering, and evaporation. They also investigated the quickest ways to dissolve a solute into a solvent to create a solution.

We are so proud of their curiosity and fantastic scientific vocabulary!

What a first day! 🌿✨

Our Heartwood Voyagers have had the most wonderful start to their stay at Lodge Hill. From tackling the low ropes and building dens to working together, encouraging one another and embracing every new challenge, the children have thrown themselves into every activity with enthusiasm and huge smiles.

This evening has been the perfect end to a fantastic first day. Sitting together around the campfire, singing songs, enjoying popcorn and hot chocolate and sharing lots of laughter has created memories they’ll remember for a long time.

The children have been brilliant ambassadors for our school. Their kindness, resilience and willingness to have a go have made us incredibly proud.

Now it’s time for a well-earned night’s sleep before another day of adventure begins tomorrow. 🌲🔥💚

🦋What a wonderful end to the week for Year 3! The children released their butterflies after watching them grow in their classrooms over the last few weeks. They learnt all about their fascinating life cycle, including the chrysalis stage and even had the amazing opportunity to watch one emerge from its chrysalis under the visualiser before setting them free!🦋

This week, Year 3 learned why Sikhs meditate as part of their religion. We discovered that meditation helps Sikhs focus on God and deepen their prayers. We also discussed how meditation can benefit everyone by helping us feel calm, improve our concentration and reduce distractions. The children enjoyed trying a variety of meditation techniques and reflected on how these made them feel. 🧘‍♂️✨

🦉 What an unforgettable visit! 🦉

Last week, year 4 welcomed the UK Owl and Raptor Centre into school and had the incredible opportunity to meet some amazing birds of prey. We met three owls, and were lucky enough to have them fly over our heads and in between us!

✨ During the visit, the children had the exciting opportunity to get a closer look at three different species: a Long-Eared Owl, a Barn Owl 🦉, and an Australian Southern Boobook 🌏. The visitors shared fascinating facts about each bird, highlighting their unique characteristics and adaptations. 🕵️‍♂️

🌲 The children learnt about the owls’ natural habitats, discovering where different species live around the world, as well as what they hunt and watch for when searching for food. The session provided a brilliant insight into how these skilled predators survive in the wild, linking perfectly to our current topic! 📚🌳

🌱 An important part of the visit focused on conservation. 🌍 Pupils learnt why the numbers of some owl species are declining, including habitat loss and the use of pesticides. 🚜 They discovered how pesticides can harm the food chain, which helped the children understand the importance of protecting wildlife and caring for natural environments. 📉💚

🌟 The assembly was fascinating and the children were a credit to Year 4. 👏 They asked so many thoughtful questions and showed genuine curiosity, enthusiasm, and respect for these magnificent creatures.

🙏 A huge thank you to the team from the UK Owl and Raptor Centre for bringing learning to life and sharing their passion and expertise with us. It was a truly memorable experience that we will be talking about for a long time! 🎉

This week, Year 3 created beautiful Sussex landscape pictures using the wet felting technique. Working in pairs, they carefully selected colours from their designs and used warm water and soap to bond the wool fibres together. The children used bright, colourful wool to bring their Sussex-inspired landscapes to life and are very proud of their finished creations! 🎨🐑🌳✨
