3M take a trip back in time whilst discovering light!, by Mr Murray

Date: 9th Nov 2017 @ 2:19pm

Hi all,

During our recent trip to MoSI in Manchester, we learned so much! The class were excellent and demonstrated impeccable behaviour and manners throughout!

We had a workshop about light where we were taught about the properties of it. We learned what light was made of and how it travels. The children were active in discussion and showed a great interest.

We also had a demonstration of different engines. Here was a nice opportunity for them to see how technology has advanced over time and our museum guides get the children asking many questions.

Finally, some free time allowed the children to explore an experiment in the lab zone. They were exploring different scientific principles and all looked to have a great time. They could tell me all sorts about what they had learned and experienced.

I would like to thank Mrs Green, Mrs Baleem, Mrs Asghar and Mrs Murray for supporting Mrs Gill and myself. The trip could not have gone so smoothly.

Thank you for all of your support.

Mr Murray

3M Go Green!!!, by Mr Murray

Date: 9th Nov 2017 @ 2:09pm

Good afternoon,

Part of our science topic required us to understand where soil comes from. Something which we all take for granted as we can find it in vast supply around.

We thought it would be a good idea to make our own soil!

We showed how you can take organic material, rock and worms and create your very own compost.

Enjoy

Mr Murray
