We received a letter from Sid the Squire and we read it all by ourselves. In his letter, he told us that he likes deer and dogs and that his favourite colours are red, green, blue and yellow. We used these ideas when we designed our shields for Sid.

We planned and wrote our own instructions to design a shield for Sid the Squire. We then had a go at following the instructions to make a shield.

8 weeks on and we have dug up the rubbish we burried - we discovered a very decomposed cookie and banana, a partly decomposed piece of paper and everything else looked exactly the same. We learned that a glass bottle can actually take up to 1 million years to decompose!!

We sorted objects by material and thought about what they are made of and why. We also imagined what the objects would be like if they were made from different materials. Imagine if pizza boxes were made of metal or glass?

In science, we have been exploring different materials. We have also been learning about recycling and what happens to rubbish when it is thrown in the bin. We decided to bury some different materials in soil to see what will happen to them. We will dig them up in 6 weeks time and see which have started to decompose and which remain unchanged. This is an 'observation over time' enquiry.
