June Newsletter Monkey Puzzles
World Cup
This half term the Monkey Puzzles have been getting involved with the
excitement of the World Cup. They each picked a country to support with Julia
and Dylan's teams, Germany and Argentina reaching the World Cup final. The
class were also challenged to complete a home learning project based on the
World Cup. As always the Monkey Puzzle's responses were extremely creative,
from a cake with the design of the Cameron flag to a World Cup board game.

Modelling Erosion
This month the Monkey Puzzles were challenged to create a working model that
demonstrated coastal erosion as part of their topic learning on coasts. Once
they had built their models they tested them using water and ‘waves’ to simulate
erosion. After completing their experiments they wrote evaluations. They had
great fun using cake, sugar cubes and other materials to simulate erosion. They
also acted as reporters by filming the process of erosion using ipads.
