Owls experimented with yeast today in Science. Knowing that carbon dioxide gas is released when yeast is combined with sugar, we wanted to see what happens when more/less sugar is added to the same amount of yeast and warm water. This was done by attaching balloons to the tops of the bottles to observe the presence of any CO2 gas. They loved it!

Oswestry Tag Rugby Festival
What a great time we had at Oswestry on Friday. Owls competed so well and made Ruyton proud. The afternoon consisted of lots of 10 minute games against other schools, as well as an opportunity to practice tackling at the tackling station. Owl Class were incredibly respectful to all the coaches and the opposition and they had smiles on their faces all afternoon. What more can you ask for?! Amazing 🙂
Reading 📚
This afternoon some of Owls class listened to Rabbit Class read their books. It was lovely to see the older children encouraging the younger ones. Rabbits loved reading with the older children and can’t wait to do it more often!
Biodiversity – Science
In Owl Class today as part of our Science work, we played a game which simulates a real life scenario whereby loggers and farmers remove species and conservationists are responsible for keeping them. Each plant has its own benefit, so we spoke about which groups benefitted the most from conserving the most important species. Owls had great fun with this.
