The biggest highlight in Larwood Class this week - aside from settling in and making new friends - has been a scientific visit from Illumina. Using a mixture of chemicals and scientific equipment, children were able to extract strands of DNA from strawberries! We also learned how DNA works and discovered how closely related we are to apes, cows and bananas!
In our science/history lesson this week, children learned about the history of space travel and found out how man finally made it to the moon in 1969. We discussed more recent developments and what the future of space exploration might look like. The children then created a beautiful knowledge page containing detailed timelines and key information.
Children in Larwood Class have nominated themselves for active citizen roles, designed beautiful logos and understood the importance of change in PSHE lessons. To top off a fantastic week in our new class, we also received a message from Kieran Larwood, the author our class is named after. We have sent him letters and copies of our logos, and eagerly await a response!
