The return after the Christmas break has been an exciting one. The Year 3 children have been busy investigating the Stone Age; they visited the talayots in Son Fornes to find out more about the stone buildings, how they were constructed and how communities lived in these buildings.
At the museum they looked at artefacts found on the site and excavated pieces of broken pottery in the sand, carefully preparing their samples as archaeologists do with their findings.
Year 1 and the saga of the Evil Pea!
The Evil Pea has once again been creating havoc in the Year 1 classrooms! The Evil Pea from time to time escapes and makes a mess - last week chairs and desks were tossed across the room, pencil cases emptied, books were strewn across the floor! The children were horrified.
They decided to enlist the help of some other vegetables, firmly believing they could help to find the Evil Pea - and luckily, their plan worked! The Evil Pea was found in a plate of jelly and the children were able to put the pea safely back in the freezer!
"Please help us to find the Evil Pea, we know you can do it!"
The children made some wonderful “Wanted” posters and created vegetable superheroes to help to solve the mystery.
