J2 visit

Snibston Was Fun!

Last week the J2 classes visited Snibston Discovery Park. It certainly brought our Science discoveries alive! We made parachutes and tested them by dropping them from the balcony. We learnt that the bigger parachutes took longer to reach the ground.

We also made our own rockets by making a cone out of paper and placing it on a bottle. When we pressed the bottle the rocket was pushed into the air!

We also had fun looking at forces in the playground at Snibston and even had our lunch on a railway carriage.

Snibston staff told us that we were one of the best behaved schools that Snibston had ever had  -  we were an asset to Highclare! 

Well done J2!

Urban Allotments.

We are delighted to be working alongside Mrs. Kent from “Urban Allotments Ltd” in producing Woodfield’s own Mini Allotment Project. Last week Mrs. Kent came into school with her easily assembled raised beds, pots, compost and plants, which have all been donated to Woodfield by her company “Urban Allotments Ltd” .

Our project will be taking place in a specially prepared area near to Kindergarten. The fence has been painted, the area checked and we’re ready to go!

Children from J1 and J2 worked with Mrs. Kent and staff on Thursday afternoon. The “Super Salads” bed was the first to be completed.

“Herb Harvest” and “Stir Fry Selection” will be in the next wave of planting.

With a “watering” rota now in place we look forward to a bumper crop.

Watch this space………..!
