Buddy Class Picnic

On Wednesday 19 November, Room 6 and Room 14 went to Victoria Park as part of our Buddy Class. We have been meeting each week all year to play games, share reading, make fun art creations and organise our end of year picnic. Room 14 organised the day by preparing everyone's lunches, organising the bus to and from Victoria Park and also the running of the day.  We were treated to games, a Scavenger Hunt and even some treats at the end of the day.

Here is a cool Video to sum up our day:

Science Week - You, Me and UV

This week at Merrin School it has been Science Week. Room 6 have been looking at how the Sun can use UV to harm us.

We have been learning the importance of keeping ourselves safe from the UV Rays by:
1. Wearing a Sunhat
2. Putting on Sunblock
3. Covering our body with suitable clothing
4. Wearing Sunglasses
5. Having suitable footwear on our feet

We also made some Bracelets using UV beads so we could see how they glow in the sun. Our Buddy Class joined us in our celebration of this on Friday.
