Read MoreA Wonderful Day at Wonderworks!
Published 05/02/26, by Lauren MerryWe had a fantastic trip to Hornby’s Hobbies WonderWorks, which linked perfectly to STEAM Week and our topic “Playing: Past and Present.”
We had the opportunity to play with Scalextric and explore lots of other amazing toys made by Hornby, including model trains and cars. We loved seeing how these toys work and noticing all the tiny details that make them look so realistic.
During our visit, we also learnt how toys have changed over time and how design and technology help make them move. We spotted gears, tracks, wheels and motors, and started to understand how these parts help toys function. It was exciting to see how ideas from the past have inspired the toys we still enjoy today.
We had such a fun, hands-on day and came back to school full of ideas and excitement!
Read MoreShadow Hour!
Published 04/02/26, by Lauren MerryWe worked really hard during Shadow Hour to create our very own toilet roll torch shadows. First, we drew a small picture onto clear tape and carefully attached it to the end of our decorated toilet roll tubes. Then came the exciting part!
Using torches, we shone light through our tubes and projected our drawings onto the wall. It was amazing to see our tiny pictures turn into big shadows! We were very sensible when using the torches and took turns to share our creations with our friends.
We had so much fun exploring light and shadow and loved seeing our designs come to life in such a creative way.
Read MoreSchool of Noise with Team Merry
Published 04/02/26, by Lauren MerryWow! What an amazing workshop we had with the School of Noise. We learned all about different parts of sound, including pitch, volume and tempo. We explored how sounds can be high or low, loud or quiet, and fast or slow.
We were then shown some very unusual and exciting instruments. We saw a theremin being played — an instrument you don’t even have to touch to make music! We were also amazed to discover that even vegetables can be turned into instruments and make different sounds.
We had the best time listening, experimenting and discovering just how many different ways sound can be made. It was such a fun and memorable experience!
