The Seals Step Back to 1666! Before half term, the Seals visited Strangers' Hall to bring their learning about the Great Fire of London to life! The children travelled back to 1666, helping Tudor homeowners make sure their houses were safe from the same fate as London. They explored the rooms, discovering that fire was the only source of heat, light, and cooking and how homes made of wood and thatch were easy targets for flames. They also investigated the techniques used to fight the Great Fire, how effective they were, and how decisions after 1666 shaped the rebuilding of London. Luckily, with their knowledge and teamwork, the Seals made sure Strangers' Hall stayed safe from any danger!

Science in Action with the Sharks! Armed with porridge pots, thermometers, and a range of materials, the Sharks put their knowledge of thermal conductors to the test to find out which material would best keep Miss Bane's porridge warm! They planned their investigation carefully making predictions and identifying the independent, dependent, and control variables before getting started. After some exciting experimenting, the results were in... and to our surprise, the best thermal conductor from our test materials (tin foil, wood, cotton wool, a cotton tea towel, wool, and paper) turned out to be the thick cotton tea towel! Brilliant scientific thinking, Sharks!
