What kind of teeth do we have?
In our science lessons this term, we are focussing on the digestive system.
Kestrels started this topic by using mirrors to look at their own teeth and then making a set of teeth from playdough.
It really helped us think about the different shapes and types of teeth

Democracy Day
For democracy day we created our own political parties. We created policies that we thought would make the world a better place. We then presented our ideas to Doves and Owls who voted on who they would most like to take on the job!

Today we continued our work looking at stone age art.
After a quick refresher on how to recreate the 'paint' using lard, paint powder and soil Kestrels class got to work.
We painted some stones at the front of the school car park to test out our techniques.
It was a messy but fun…
