Yesterday children from Christ Church Primary SW9, St John’s Angell Town, Jessop and Loughborough primaries joined together to hone their scientific skills in Chemistry in a day of workshops led by Sphere Science. The children started the day with discussion on what a scientist does and what skills he or she needs: determination, confidence, patience, focus, systematic working, dexterity, planning, good communication skills and creativity were amongst the main attributes the children identified. The children and staff then did a number of experiments: making custard slime and PVA slime and comparing their properties; measuring with accuracy to make pop tubs; testing red cabbage dye on various substances, observing and comparing different colour changes and learning which was acid and which was alkaline. To end the children identified which scientific skills they felt they add improved upon, towards becoming our scientists of the future! Many thanks to all the children and staff for their hard work and focus.

If you go down to the woods today, you’ll sure have a big surprise. If you go down to the woods today you’ll never believe your eyes……… You will more than likely see lots of our SHINE@ the BLC students having lots of fun learning about woods and forests as part of their topic on Enchanted Forests!

Over the last half term, the children have been learning all about urban forests, rainforests and forests around the UK in their groups Arden, Sherwood and Dean . They have made edible chocolate conkers, mini rain forests in a bottle and their own versions of famous children’s stories set in forests.
Over the next few weeks, the students will be taking part in a drama workshop and will spend the day at Stubbers Adventure Centre, in Essex taking part in the High Ropes Challenge, learning archery and joining in a story telling session in the very dark woods!

This is a brand new year for the SHINE project and we have been joined by over 45, new year 4 -6 students from the BLC schools. We still have a few more places left so if you are interesting in joining the project please contact your BLC school or Lisa Bogle, Project Manager, on 07854350932.
