Base 10 Odd Socks Day and Anti Bullying Week 2024 (11th – 15th November):

 

 

For Odd Socks Day and Anti-Bullying Week this year, Base 10 took part in lots of fun and meaningful activities to learn about kindness and the importance of standing up against bullying. We all wore odd socks to celebrate our differences and show that being unique is something to be proud of. In class, we completed a guided reading comprehension about bullying and friendship, and we had PSHE sessions where we looked at different bullying scenarios and discussed how we could help. We also joined the BBC Live Lesson to learn more about bullying prevention. To show our creativity and individuality, we designed our own odd socks to represent how unique we all are. Finally, we designed and created posters to spread the message of kindness and respect. It was a week full of learning, fun, and inspiration!

Base 10 Remembrance Day 2024

 

This year, for Remembrance Day, we marked the occasion with a variety of meaningful activities. Along with taking part in a reading comprehension activity that helped us understand the significance of the day, we had a special assembly with a veteran who shared their experiences, making the day even more poignant. In addition to these activities, we created our own artwork to honour the fallen. Using tissue paper, we made beautiful poppy collages, carefully layering the paper to form the bright red petals and dark centres of the flowers. The artwork helped us reflect on the importance of Remembrance Day and gave us a creative way to express our respect and gratitude for those who sacrificed so much.

Base 10 National Stem Day 2024:

 

For National STEM Day (8th November), we took part in an exciting workshop called Space and Time, led by Inventors & Makers. During the workshop, we learned about the role of engineers, focusing on the famous figures Neil Armstrong and Katherine Johnson, who played key roles in the Apollo 11 mission to the moon. We explored the Apollo 11 lunar module and investigated how forces like gravity, thrust, and exhaust impacted its journey. Afterward, we had the chance to create circuits and experiment with vibrations, working to make our rover imitation move in a straight line and travel faster. It was a hands-on way to explore engineering and space exploration!

Base 10 Gunpowder Plot Poetry!

In Base 10, to commemorate the Gunpowder Plot and the 5th November celebrations, we’ve blended poetry with computing in a truly explosive way!

As part of our computing unit on publishing, we wrote acrostic poems to reflect on the historic event, then typed them up for publication. Drawing inspiration from the chaotic energy of Jackson Pollock, we created splattered backgrounds to showcase our words. A perfect mix of art, history, and computing!

Base 10’s Wonka Chocolate Room Designs!

Wonka’s Letter:

In English, we are writing a narrative which will be set in a Chocolate Room (like the one in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) of our own design.

After receiving a letter from Mr Wonka, we set out to use our imaginations and creativity to design our own Chocolate Room.

 

Our Mind Maps:

AI

Following the creation of our designs, we inputted our ideas into AI which then digitally created our rooms! We can’t wait to use these as further inspiration for our writing!

Base 10 Digestion Experiment

 

In our digestion experiment, we mashed a banana to mimic chewing and added water for saliva. This gooey mix went into a plastic bag as our “stomach,” where we added vinegar for acid and squeezed it to represent digestion. Then, we slid the bag into tights, acting as intestines, and squeezed again to let nutrients pass through while leaving waste behind. Who knew digestion could be so entertaining (and messy)?

Base 10 Tooth Decay Experiment Findings

Our Findings:

Vinegar = The whole shell was covered in slimy layers.
Blackcurrant juice = The whole shell bubbled and stained purple. Orange juice = The whole shell was covered in slimy layers.
Water & Milk = They stayed the same.
Energy Drink = Half was covered in crystal like scales.
Tea = It was stained a darker colour.
There was only slight improvements on the toothpaste side (left) apart from with the energy drink egg. On that egg only the scaly crystals only formed on the non-toothpaste side showing the toothpaste protected the shell.
Based on our observations, milk and water are the best for your teeth as the eggs showed no sign of change, they stayed exactly the same.
This has showed us the importance of brushing our teeth and drinking beverages like fizzy, sugary and acidic drinks in moderation.

Base 10 – Nrich Problem Solving

Base 10 have had a competitive start to the morning with this NRICH Maths problem. In pairs, each player took turns to roll a dice 4 times and strategically place each digit within a 4-digit number, they then compared the two numbers and the largest number won! Safe to say we were very engaged and enthusiastic about this task!
