The children in Year 5 and 6 had a BRILLIANT time at Arthog last week. Here are a few photos to whet your appetite.....

Our Trip to Birmingham

Oak class had a fantastic day today visiting Birmingham City Centre. We went to Birmingham Central Mosque and Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. We were given biscuits and juice at the mosque - mmmmm! We were also able to look at the Qur'ans and we counted the prayer mats! There were over 1000.

At the museum we saw some mummies including a crocodile and a cat. We saw some ancient Egyptian toys and Mrs Hanson really liked the toy monkey!

Lime Class are going to find out about what it is like to be a Muslim living in Britain today

We will ask a Muslim teacher, Mr Ali, lots of questions about being a Muslim, using this padlet.

Our Solar Farm Visit.

The whole school visited our brand new, local solar farm today! We were amazed to find out that the farm has cost £5,000 000 to build! Think of all the electricity it will produce!

We got a little muddy so we will probably need to use lots of electricity to wash our clothes!

Our Visit from Exotic Zoo - !!!!

On Tuesday we had a visit from The Exotic Zoo to help us learn about our new topic of Amazing Animals.  We were introduced to a millipede, a snake and two meerkats.  We found out that as a snake grows it sheds its skin and Sam from the Exotic Zoo brought in a snake skin that was as tall as she was - WOW!! We also found out that snakes use their tongues to smell their prey.  The meerkats were amazing - our story for the month is Meerkat Mail - and we saw first-hand how meerkats behave when one of them climbed onto Sam's shoulder to be the lookout or signal.  The millipede had 270 legs - when we held it in our hands it was very ticklish!!! We had a wonderful hour and would like to thank the PTFA for helping us to arrange this visit.   Take a look at our photos to see what we did!!

 


Didn't we have wonderful time!!
