This week, Year 6 have been very busy in their STEAM lesson. We have been investigating different electrical alarm systems and came up with some design criteria for our own Tsunami Alarms: they must be durable, waterproof and aesthetically pleasing. In pairs, we worked hard to...
As part of our forces topic, Year 5 were experimenting with different ways we could reduce the impact of an object hitting the ground from a height. Our job was to create egg landers to protect our eggs. We discussed what materials would be useful...
This week in Year 4, we have been conducting experiments with light. We were testing to see if different amounts of batteries would affect how bright a lightbulb would get. We used a different amount of batteries and lightbulbs to test out how bright or...
In Year 2, the children have been drawing and creating hand puppets for their Steam lesson. Take a look at all their hard work...
The Year 1 class visited the Science Museum this week. We have been learning about different everyday materials in Science and particularly how water interacts with other materials. At the museum, we explored water and its movement, as well as a range of other materials. We...
Year 3 had such a wonderful trip to the Science Museum this week. They completed a forces trail, whereby they reflected on how science and technology have shaped our lives both in the past and present. We used our observation and questioning skills to find...
Last Friday Year 2 went on a trip to the National History Museum. This terms topic is Haiti and Earthquakes, we went primarily to find out more about earthquakes and to experience what an earthquake felt like in the simulated earthquake room...
In our STEAM lessons, we have been exploring alarm systems. We had a look at existing models around school and decided what type of activation system they used. We then explore the pros and cons of each, with children explaining their understanding clearly. We now...
This week in Year 4, we were experimenting with different fabrics to see which one would work best in our STEAM project – creating pencil cases. We were given different fabrics, for example denim and cotton, and we conducted a series of mini tests on them....
Our new topic this term in Year 2 is plants. The children enjoyed looking closely at this rose and discussing the different parts of a plant and its functions. Take a look...
