Our first snowdrops have made an appearance this week!

This was more difficult than it looked!

We held a very special event at the beginning of December – The Billis Bake-Off! Each pod in the senior classroom was given ingredients and a recipe to follow. We weighed, chopped, crushed, mixed and finally we produced our delicious buns!

The girls made Church Window Buns. The boys in 3rd & 4th classes made Mars Bar Buns and the boys in 5th & 6th classes made Chocolate Biscuit balls.

We loved baking at school. Sampling our buns was the best bit of all!

The Junior Classroom baked and decorated Chocolate Rice Krispie Buns and Top Hats for The Billis Bake Off!

During Science Week we made bi-ped robots. We had to follow the instructions very carefully and in the correct order!

Our robots could walk on our desks. We had to do some adjustments as some of our robots were going backways!

The robots used batteries to power the motors which enabled the robots to walk.

We have been learning about the Ancient Egyptians. We made some clay models of canopic jars. The Ancient Egyptians put internal body parts in canopic jars as part of the mummification of their pharaohs. Gruesome!

The children in the Junior Room have been learning all about line in drawing this month. We explored different types of lines; straight, bumpy, sharp and diagonal. The children created some very scary monsters using different types of lines.

Autumn is the time for planting bulbs! We planted tulip bulbs and daffodil bulbs. We used bulb planters and garden trowels to plant the bulbs. It’s very important to plant the bulbs the right way up!

In our shrub boxes we planted some new shrubs: skimmia, hebe, euonymous and heather. We added some colour to our main entrance with some violas in the pots on either side. We were very busy in October!
