Forest Green Rovers

This week, the whole school visited our local football stadium, Forest Green Rovers.

Ian showed us around and we saw lots of new things and learnt lots of new words, particularly the word SUSTAINABILITY. Try to remember that one children!

Mrs Saeed was amazed at how much information that we all remembered when we got back to school.
We learnt that Forest Green Rovers make their own electricity from wind turbines and solar panels.

We remembered that they collect rain water from the roof of the stand and store it in a big tank. Then they use the water to water the grass on the pitch.

We also saw some electric cars and their chargers.

Can anyone remember some of the differences between the electric car and our petrol or diesel cars at home? Answers in the comments box please. 3 raffle tickets for each spot the difference!

We also learnt that all of the food served at the stadium is organic and vegetarian and that they cut the grass on the pitch using a mowbot controlled by a computer.

Alien Descriptions

Alien film first group from Aqua Class on Vimeo.

Inspired by Hoctopize, a main character in our Toys in Space story, the children drew their own space creature and used interesting words to describe what they had drawn.
The film only has some of our pictures, more to follow by the end of this week. We hope you enjoy them!

Toys in Space

Our story this term is Toys in Space by Mini Grey. We have been learning to retell a shortened version of the story which is coming along nicely. We have also enjoyed looking at the book in lots of detail and talking about our ideas, likes, dislikes and thoughts about different pages of the book. Stay tuned for some of our alien work that has been sparked off by the book…
