F1 Start Up Morning

There was a huge buzz in Year 5 this morning, as the children grouped themselves in teams to begin their exciting F1 topic. 

They decided on catchy team names, designed logos and merchandise and began thinking about car design.

Heritage Village

Yesterday, as part of our National Day Celebrations we had a chance to visit the Heritage Village kindly set up by Yalla Yasmina. 

We had a fantastic time learning about the Heritage of the UAE and sampling some food, smelling a range of perfumes as well as a range of other fantastic activities. 

Science Labs!

Today we had the exciting opportunity to visit the secondary science labs. We found out about lab safety and how we can minimise risk of the hazards. 

We had a chance to light bunsen burners and found out about the different types of flame. 

Next week we will return to the lab to carry out experiments using the skills we learnt today. Visit our blog next week to find out more.

Super Scientists

We loved visiting the secondary science labs for a safety talk today and even had the opportunity to try safely lighting a Bunsen burner - success!

Can you comment any safety tips below to share with others?

Heritage Village Visit

We had an excellent experience visiting the Heritage Village in school this week. We could see the wonderful effort put in by the parents involved to share the culture and history with us.

Share your favourite part of the visit below please  :)

I loved finding about about the traditional games that children played together and tasting the dates! Miss Smith.
