Syndicate Jump Jam

We had Jump Jam with the whole Senior Syndicate today.  Jump Jam is really cool because it keeps you nice and fit.  All that jumping really gets your brain working!

Bird Beaks

To start the term we became birds and carried out an experiment to see which type of beak worked best for different food types - insects in a log (rice in plasticine), small fish in water (macaroni), worms in dirt (cooked spaghetti),  flesh (marshmallows on a stick) and sunflower seeds.  We had some fun and worked out that some beaks are quite specialised for a specific food type while others work for multiple foods.  From this we discussed how birds have adapted to suit their environments.
