This week in Reception we have been taking part in a science experiment outside. We explored a range of different objects outside and how we can move them without touching them. We used our previous knowledge of magnets and through trial and error, we picked up the pipe cleaners using Read more…
This week we have been learning all about plant pollination and seed dispersal. The children took part in some role play activities where they hunted as bees for nectar. Once they found this they brushed against the pollen (in this case some crisps) and then took this to a new Read more…
Today we tested out our egg boxes, after designing them and discussing which materials would be most suitable we got into teams and got creative! We made team names and posters to get into the competitive spirit… We then decided which jobs we were going to do and discovered which Read more…
Will a plant grow with no water? Can a plant survive with no light? Does the temperature impact on a plants growth? These are all questions Year 3 have been considering this week. We have been planning a range of investigations this week and setting these up to observe over Read more…
Today in Science, Year 6 investigated the effects that increasing the voltage in an electrical circuit can have on its components. We had a great time completing our experiment and almost all of our predictions were correct!
In science we have been learning about materials. The children can identity what an object is made from, today we discussed the properties of these materials. The children each chose an object from around the classroom and told us the material and a property of the material. “It is made Read more…
This half term we will be learning all about living things with a main focus on plants. Today the children have been learning all about the different parts of a plant and the function of each part. We made some lift the flap books. Here is some of our work. Read more…
In science we have been learning about classifying animals. Today we had special reptiles visit our class.. Tortoises! The children loved touching the tortoises, holding the tortoises and feeding the tortoises. They asked some super questions.
Today in Science we have been working with magnets and exploring if different objects are magnetic or not. The children were very surprised with some of their results which prompted some great discussion work. We also explored magnetic poles and how magnets can be attracted or repel against each other. Read more…
Today, as part of their science topic, Year 6 conducted research into how we can all lead healthy lifestyles. They used this research to create a Healthy Lifestyle Guide full of information and advice on both diet and exercise. Everyone tried very hard with their presentation and produced work that Read more…
This half term in science we are learning about forces. This week we have been looking at friction through a number of investigations. Investigation one – The children used force metres to explore the friction between a range of surfaces and their shoe. They found out it was much easier Read more…
We have had a wonderful day at Chester Zoo, the children loved seeing all the different animals and learning new facts. Everybody was so well behaved and made me very proud. Well done Year 1! We hope that you enjoy looking at our photographs.
This week we have been learning about how soil is formed and also exploring which soils are more permeable then others. We discussed the need for a fair test and observed our experiments carefully to conclude our results.
Today Year 4 discussed what an invertebrate was and where we might find some in our local environment. In pairs we had our clipboards at the ready with our classification key to help us identify what we found. As well as documenting what we found, we also carefully collected specimens Read more…
This afternoon Year 6 tested their lung capacities by blowing into balloons and using string the measure their circumferences. Before the experiment everyone made a prediction about who would have the largest lung capacity- there were some surprising results!
