Rotherham Minster
What a wonderful walk to Rotherham Minster to support Y6’s geography and history work, as well as learning more about a religious building. The children asked very interesting questions, all of which were answered by our expert guide.
Tooth decay
In science Year 4 have been trying to answer “Do different drinks affect tooth decay?” As eggs closely represent the enamel on teeth we have been carrying out an ‘eggsperiment’ to see which drink, if any will affect the tooth enamel (the egg) the most. We won’t tell you the results but which one do you think would affect teeth the most?
