The blubber experiment with Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne
This week we have been learning about how polar animals adapt to their environment. We carried out a blubber experiment and found out that we were able to keep our hand in icy water alot longer when there was blubber around it compared to when there was no blubber.
Our Welly Walk
This week Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been learning about maps. As part of this, we went on a welly walk to explore our local area and then created our own maps of New Radnor in class. We have also learnt about physical and human features and identified these on our walk.
Our visit from the police lady
On Wednesday PC Viv came into school and spoke to Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne about keeping safe. The children talked about safe places to play and the dangers of unsafe places. 
Skeletons
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne went stick and stone collecting on our welly walk up Smatcher, and then used these to make skeletons in our groups. 
The Animal Man
On Monday the man from Corner Exotics came to our class and showed us lots of exotic animals. We had the opportunity to hold a tarantula, a chameleon, a giant frog, some snakes, a scorpion, a hedgehog and a chinchilla. We had so much fun but also learnt lots of interesting facts. Some of the children overcame their fears of snakes and spiders once they had the hands on experience with the animals and insects.
What a fabulous morning the children had!
Our Senses
Over the week Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have carried out a variety of experiments to explore our senses.
We smelt a variety of things including mint, vinegar, perfume and orange.
We tried lemon, chocolate, salty popcorn, jam and cheese puffs. The lemon was very sour!
Autumn Craft
Dosbarth Miss Burgoyne have been doing Autumn craft this week. The children have been making pumpkin suncatchers. They look so lovely in the classroom when the sun shines. ☀️
