Eagles

After competing in the classroom, two of our pupils headed down to Renishaw to compete against other schools in a design challenge. Although they were unlucky this time, we hope they keep up their engineering efforts for the future.

At the end of Term 6, Eagles class took part in an essential First Aid course with a volunteer nurse from the community. We learnt about a variety of different situations where we’d need our First Aid skills, and even got to have a practice on some ‘patients’ who showed their terrific acting skills!  

During our learning about the Ancient Egyptians, we discovered the mummification process. We were so fascinated (and a little disgusted) that we wanted to try out the process ourselves! After scooping out the ‘guts’ of the orange and drying it out with paper towels, we used a mixture of bicarbonate of soda and salt to make natron and added cinnamon and cloves. We then wrapped our oranges tightly in bandages and left them in a warm dry place. The photos show the the unwrapping and results!

Eagles class were invited to Yate International Academy for a science taster lesson. They proudly represented our school and all enjoyed their time in the laboratory. We may have some budding scientists in the making!
