What kind of teeth do we have?
In our science lessons this term, we are focussing on the digestive system.
Kestrels started this topic by using mirrors to look at their own teeth and then making a set of teeth from playdough.
It really helped us think about the different shapes and types of teeth

How did they create cave paintings in the Stone Age?
Today we continued our work looking at stone age art.
After a quick refresher on how to recreate the 'paint' using lard, paint powder and soil Kestrels class got to work.
We painted some stones at the front of the school car park to test out our techniques.
It was a messy but fun…
