Maple worked as a team to classify living things based on their characteristics, applying what they had learnt in Cedar and Sycamore classes. We worked on our tables, literally.

(LTP) Learning Through Practice and Participation
Maple practised our planning, teamwork and executive functioning skills during our first LTP session of the year, investigating Ancient Greek artefacts, reversible/irreversible changes, resilience strategies, followed instructions for a craft activity and played a board game.
Investigating variables in a circuit
Maple conducted a scientific enquiry into what variables might affect the brightness of a lamp.
Investigating Light and Sound
Maple compared how quickly we hear and see something to understand whether sound or light travels more quickly. Watch and listen out for when we banged a drum on the field last week!
Shadow Predictions
Maple class made predictions about the shape and size of a shadow using black paper to represent the shadow. We tested whether our predictions were accurate and if the shadow matched the black paper.
