Conscience alley, by Mrs Hinchey

Date: 12th Jun 2024 @ 8:42pm

In English this week, our myths topic has brought us to the tale of Pandora. On Wednesday, we read the first part of the myth and discussed the decision Pandora had to make - whether to open the box given to her by the gods. We talked about what a conscience is, and the idea of having a devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other.

To bring this idea to life, we created two seperate lines close together. One side had to whisper encouragement for opening the box, whilst the other tried to persuade against it.

Bacteria Experiment, by Mrs Hinchey

Date: 5th May 2024 @ 12:04pm

For our Spring 2 Science unit - Living things and their habitats - we completed an investigation to understand how bacteria grows in different conditions. In teams, we decided which conditions we thought would generate the most growth on pieces of bread, choosing between: damp and light; damp and dark; dry and light, or dry and dark.

We left our samples for a week before documenting with photographs. We then returned the samples and left for a further 3 weeks.
