The children had a wonderful time meeting out special visitor today…Pudsey Bear! They sang him our Children in Need song and then watched him push over our postbox full of pennies. He even needed some help as it was so full with all of the pennies we collected!

The children had lots of fun dressing up as their heroes. We talk about how we could raise money next year and the children thought of cake sales, a disco, putting on a show and dressing up again.

We also talked about what children need. Ben said children need care, Callum said doctors to look after them and Eva said food, water, parents and something to cuddle if they feel sad.

Over the past week 6MT have been designing and carrying out our own experiments related to growing bacteria. Each group did a different investigation e.g. the amount of bacteria on different door handles, swabbing each other’s mouths or whether  a book or computer mouse has more bacteria. First we collected our equipment; a plastic cup, some Petri dishes filled with a agar, cotton buds and the objects we are taking the bacteria samples from. We filled the cups with water and dipped the cotton bud in; then we took a sample of our objects by wiping the wet cotton buds on them; after we transferred it onto the agar. Next, we sealed the Petri dishes with cellotape and added a label. Finally, we stored our experiment in a warm, dark box for 6 days. Check out our results…..
