Squirrels Heath Junior School

This week, in Year 4, we have been lucky enough to have Mrs Lall talk to us about our teeth and how to look after them.  Before Mrs Lall worked in our school she was a dental nurse, working in a dental surgery and also a hospital.  She talked to us about how and when when should be brushing our teeth, and what we should and should not be eating to keep our teeth healthy.  She also consolidated our understanding of the different teeth we have and what their functions are.  Thank you Mrs Lall for a very exciting and informative talk!

  Black History Month Katherine Johnson loved numbers and mathematics. She worked for NASA, which is a special organisation that sends people to space. Katherine loved her job and was always finding new ways to explore space.  Although Katherine’s work wasn’t always given the prominence it deserved, in recent times she has received the recognition. On the 24 th February 2020, Katherine died at the age of 101. NASA posted on social media saying, ‘her legacy of excellence broke down racial and social barriers while helping get our space agency off the ground’.

Year 6 had fun today dissecting their lamb’s hearts. We worked in teams to identify the different parts and despite the smell, we had a fantastic time.      Well done everyone!

In Cooking Club the children have learnt new skills and enjoyed cooking different recipes. We are looking forward to baking bread and pizza after half term.  Take a look at some our creations!

As we come to the end of Gardening Club this half term, we hope the children have enjoyed learning about planting seeds and bulbs. We look forward to seeing our radishes soon. Our school garden continues to thrive and the children learn where our food comes from. 

Today, Year 6 were incredibly lucky to take part in a Twelfth Night Workshop based on the famous play written by Shakespeare. They had so much fun getting involved and telling the story through sound effects and actions🎬🎙🌊
