Continuing with our abstract expressionism painting unit, based around the works of Mark Rothko, this week the children started planning for their final piece.
This week, the children brought in fossils from home to help bring our science lessons to 'life'. We are learning about living things, evolution and inheritance and for this lesson focused on how fossils give scientists clues about organisms that lived in the past.
We learnt about microorganisms in our science lessons this week. We found out that not all microorganisms are bacteria and protists - some of them are fungi too! Mould is an example of this as it is made up of millions of tiny fungi. They start off as microscopic spores which are carried through the air, but when they land somewhere with enough moisture, nutrition and oxygen to grow, they develop tiny fibres called hyphae, which can be seen as fuzzy patches in different colours.
