The children took part in a variety of activities throughout the afternoon and thoroughly enjoyed it! They represented themselves and Heap Bridge brilliantly. Well done to you Read more…
In Science this term, Year 5 have been exploring different forces. Last week, we looked at air resistance. Air resistance is a type of friction between air and another material. For example, when an airplane flies through the air, air particles hit the airplane making it more difficult for it to Read more…
Today year 5 have been exploring chemical reactions between Mentos and Diet Coke. Firstly, we took the lid off the Diet Coke. Then, we carefully poured the Mentos into the funnel, which we made and placed that into the top of the bottle. Then we watched the fun happen! A Read more…
In Science this term, Year 4 are learning all about electricity. In today’s lesson, they were given images of 9 different circuits. Using the equipment, they had to recreate the circuit and discover whether it would light the bulb. Some of the circuits were more difficult than others, but Mrs Read more…
On Friday, year 5 took part in their first experiment linking to our topic ‘Properties and Changes of Materials.’ First of all, the children looked at and discussed the differences between solids, liquids and gases. Then our objective was to know that some materials will dissolve in liquid to form Read more…
This week in Year 3, we have been learning all about the different skeleton structures across animals and humans. The children enjoyed learning about the human bones, looking at x rays and learning about why different bones are important in our body. We then compared our skeleton with that of Read more…
In Science this term, Year 4 are learning all about ‘States of Matter’. In today’s lesson, the children undertook some investigations into how materials can change states. Materials can be in three different states: solid, liquid or gas. When a solid turns into a liquid it is called melting. The Read more…
Today, in year 5 we have been investigating the time it takes for planets to orbit the Sun. The children have been exploring patterns in the time it takes for planets at different distances to orbit the Sun. We used a ball and string model, a stopwatch and a ruler Read more…
