Stubbington Day 3

Wednesday

Day three has been another beautiful day with lots more learning.
This morning we helped rescue people who had been caught in an earthquake.

At the end we all had to cross 'Lava Leap'.

 

Even Mr Innes had a go!

In the afternoon we explored the conservation area looking for signs that animals are living there.

We then created mammal hotels which we put out in the conservation area. We will check them tomorrow to see if we have had any over night visitors.

 

Chess anyone?

 

 

Stubbington Day 1 and 2

We have had a wonderful time so far. We have been building, exploring, running, searching and creating!

Monday

After settling in yesterday we had to build a shelter after our plane crash landed.

We then had to test if our shelters were water proof.

Some were not!!

 

Tuesday

 

We started today learning about Harry Humus and the journey he has been on.

 

We explored the different aspects that make up soil.

We then learned how bats use echo location to find their prey.



 

We learned how the inside of a tree works and then created our own food chains with producers and consumers.

 

After lunch we took a short walk to the beach. We started to collect creatures to create our own rock pools.

 

While the rock pools settled we went on a fossil hunt and then had a sand castle competition.

 

We then checked on our rock pools.

 

 

 

Investigating Water Resistance

In Year 4 we have been looking at how the shape of objects can reduce or increase the amount of water resistance.

 

First we made different shapes out of  Blu-Tac and dropped them into cylinders of water.

 

                             We then timed how long each shape took to sink to the bottom.

 

It really helped that today was an extremely warm sunny day as the water was refreshingly cool.
