Weekly HIghlights at Mighty Mossy!

Acorn Class

In Geography, we became rainforest detectives ! Using clues and actions, we guessed which layer of the rainforest was being described — the emergent layer, canopy, understory, or forest floor .

In Science, we used our knowledge of Amazon rainforest plants to design our very own Amazonian species . The children showed amazing creativity and scientific thinking!

In Art, we continued developing our sketching skills by focusing on overlapping and layering geometric shapes inspired by our artist studies.

Oak Class

In Science, we investigated which foods reacted the most — and least — with yeast . The sugar created a HUGE reaction! Many of us predicted flour would react the most, so we were surprised by the results.

In Art, we continued creating our colourful backgrounds for our Anansi projects , ready for our stop-motion animations.

In History, we took part in an exciting debate , acting in role as either Scottish or English citizens debating whether Great Britain should be formed during the reign of Queen Anne.

Deaf Awareness Week

This week we also learned about Deaf Awareness and how to communicate respectfully with someone who is deaf or hard of hearing. We discussed important tips such as:

Look directly at the person when speaking

Speak clearly and don’t cover your mouth

Gently tap someone on the shoulder to get their attention

Don’t shout or look away while talking

Forest Friday

This week we celebrated the 100th birthday of David Attenborough . We explored his incredible career, achievements, and the huge impact he has had on our understanding of the natural world .

Another week full of learning, creativity, and discovery at Mighty Mossy!
