Hawk Owl class have been finishing off preparations for their Experience Outcome this week, beginning with creating the final soundscape for their films using body percussion and assembling their beautiful collages for the backdrop of their green screen films. The week ended with a focus on Science, during which time the children learnt about different types of plant roots. We then looked at a section of the Great Kapok Tree book in which the monkeys suggested that the roots of trees help prevent soil erosion. Using their knowledge of roots, the children planned and carried out an experiment to test this theory and found that less soil is lost when water is poured over soil that contains more roots. The children are looking forward to completing their Experience Outcome films on the Tuesday after half term, before they head off on their residential trip. We hope they enjoy a restful half term and come back ready and raring to go!
