This week in Year 4, we have been conducting an investigation to see how egg shells react to different liquids after being left in the liquids over a period of time. This relates to our science topic, where we are looking at our teeth and how...
In science this week, we were looking at fossils and how they are formed. We learnt that fossils are the preserved remains of plants and animals whose bodies were buried in sediments, such as sand and mud, under ancient seas, lakes and rivers. We really enjoyed...
This week, in Science, we have been looking at building circuits! We took part in a carousel of activities to expand our scientific knowledge. We challenged ourselves to make a working circuit using limited components, investigated insulators and conductors within circuits and even tried to...
This week in Year 3, we walked to the park to identify different types of rocks. We have been learning about the three different types of rocks - Sedimentary, Igneous and Metamorphic. We tried to find as many examples as possible and then explained why...
This week, we have been summarising all of our amazing learning over this half term. In Science, we have been studying plants. We know that not all plants are the same: we have wild flowers, garden plants, and deciduous and evergreen trees! We do, however,...
This week in Year 3, we have been exploring shadows. We know shadows are formed when a light source is blocked, but we wanted to investigate which materials block light the best. To do this, we tested a range of materials and used a torch...
This half-term, Year 5 will be studying Earth and Space as our science topic. We began by learning the order of the planets in our solar system, then we made posters about one of theses planets. Our posters had to contain following information, which we...
A group of Year 4 and year 5 students have been taking part in a project run by Earthwatch education. They have been learning all about STEM jobs and what skills are needed to be developed to get into these industries. They heard from a...
This week, Year 3 have been learning about light in their science topic. They took part in a carousel of activities to activate their prior learning of this topic. These activities involved defining key terms, identifying light sources and drawing items that are needed to protect...
This week in Science, the children were introduced to their new topic- plants! We used the scientific skill of observation to carefully look at a variety of flowers and see if we can spot their features: flower, petals, stem, leaves and bud. We then carefully...
