🔬Curiosity in action during British Science Wee 🔬Curiosity in action during British Science Week 🔬

Our pupils had brilliant questions while exploring science this week:

🥛 What is milk made of?
🥚 Can a parachute carry an egg safely without it breaking?
🦷 And from one of our youngest pupils: “Do elephants really brush their teeth?” which led to our foamy elephant toothpaste experiment!

Curious minds, big questions and lots of exciting discoveries.

🌱 Preparing for the growing season 🌱 Pupils 🌱 Preparing for the growing season 🌱

Pupils have been busy in the garden this week, clearing, weeding and preparing the beds ready for planting as the growing season begins.

Over the next few months, they’ll care for and nurture everything that’s growing, learning what plants need to flourish and making sure they have the best conditions in which to thrive.

In many ways, that’s exactly what we do here at Henstead too - creating the right environment, guidance and encouragement for every child to grow with confidence.

We’re already looking forward to enjoying the fruits (and vegetables!) of their labour at lunchtimes later in the year. 🥕🥬🌿
To celebrate World Book Day, our pupils took on a To celebrate World Book Day, our pupils took on a challenge to find the most unusual place in school to read.
From hanging from a rope to even climbing into a wheelie bin, the children proved that a good book really can be enjoyed anywhere.

Safe to say, the whole school was on the same page today! 📖

🎨✨ Ink, imagination and individuality! ✨🎨

Our Year 3 and 4 pupils have been exploring mono-printing in Art, creating striking self-portraits using layered ink and careful mark-making. From bold lines to delicate detail, each print captured not just a likeness, but personality too.

The process demanded patience, precision and a willingness to embrace the unexpected… because with mono-printing, no two results are ever the same.

Safe to say, they really made their mark. 🖤🖌️
