Grand Opening for our Year 3/4 and 4 Bicester Zoo starts tomorrow!

Your model habitats are assembled and we have considered what resources we need to build a zoo here in Bicester.  This week we will learn about categorizing our creatures and provide school tours for our zoo!

Things to consider: 
Can you think of ways that certain animals are similar or different? 
Going back to MRGRENS:  How are similar creatures MRGRENS alike or different?

Remember, you also have your school trip to the Rainforest on Friday.  When you are there, consider how the builders designed the eco-home to contain and support the plants and animals far away from their natural habitat.

Cheers,
Mrs. T

Science Challenge....all years!

Explore the nooks around your home.  What type of creatures (including insects) and plants (even molds) can you find?

Why do you think these 'living organisms' have decided to live with you?

Take a walk around the outside of your home.  What creatures and plants do you find there?  Are they different or similar to the ones you have in-side?

Why do you think these 'living organisms' have decide to live outside?

Do you think you could live outside your home?  Why or why not?

Remember: You can e-mail through our contact web-page.  Challenge participants are recorded and are entered for fun awards or prizes!

Cheers,
Mrs. T

Half Term Fun - Science and Astronaut Club

Over the next 5 days, I'll be posting some challenges and questions for Year 3, 3/4 and 4 science groups, Year 1 Wacky Science and our Astronaut Club. Our learning platform might take a little more time for me to get organized, so I'll also keep our blog up until we have the LP up and running.

Remember, you can e-mail me through the web page. I'll post your comments and questions on our blog.

Hope you had a fun weekend...check back Monday.

Cheers,
Mrs. T
