In science, Year 6 have been learning about the composition of blood and its important parts. Pupils explored the roles of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, plasma, and minerals, discovering how each component helps the body stay healthy and fight infection. It's been a fascinating topic that's helped them understand just how amazing the human body is!

This half term, Sea Shell Class have been busy exploring all the wonderful signs of Autumn. We've noticed the cooler weather, the extra rainy days, and the beautiful leaves changing colour and falling to the ground. The children have loved collecting and investigating Autumn treasures and using them to create some amazing seasonal artwork!

This term in science, we've been exploring the properties of materials. We used torches to find out whether different materials were transparent, translucent, or opaque, tested them with magnets to see which were magnetic or non-magnetic, and checked their hardness by trying to scratch them with our fingernails, coins, and paper clips. It's been a hands-on, fun way to learn all about how materials behave.

Our Year 3 pupils had an incredible time diving into Ancient Egyptian history during their visit to Truro Museum. They watched a fascinating demonstration of the mummification process, even taking part in the embalming procedures and were amazed to see a real-life mummy! The children also had the chance to handle genuine artefacts and explore the museum's other exciting exhibitions. What a brilliant day of hands-on learning and discovery!
