Making a wormery!

In Science this week we have been looking at microhabitats. We have worked together to make a wormery, we discussed a worms habitat and then went outside to search for worms.  We were looking for three different types of worms – Earthworms (endogeic worms),  Deep borrowers ( anecic worms) and Surface Dwellers (epigeic worms). Luckily it was raining so a lot of worms had come to the surface of the soil.  The children were really Read more…

British Science Week – Effect of particle size

This week has been British Science Week, we did an experiment to explore how different sized particles interact with our respiratory system. We used different sized sieves and colanders, chickpeas, pasta, rice and sand to simulate how we breathe in and filter the air around us. We made a prediction and noted down the observations. We found out that our respiratory system filters out larger particles which could affect our breathing.

British Science Week

This week is British Science Week and Juniper have carried out an investigation relating to this year’s theme of ‘Time’. We began by investigating animals, their variations and how they adapt to their environment over time. Evolution by natural selection is the process of changes in a species over time to suit their environment. Although adaptations can happen within our lifetimes, evolution that creates entirely new species takes millions of years. We looked in particular Read more…

British Science Week- apple 🍎 🍏 Changing Apples 🍎 🍏

As part of British Science week, Year 1 are completing the investigation ‘Changing Apples’. In this exploration, the children delved into the world of apple varieties. They used their senses to describe the apples’ appearances, textures and taste. They discovered the smallest, tallest and widest varieties, making comparisons between each. The apples cores were then put in bags for children to observe over the next couple of weeks and children have made predictions about what Read more…

Making biscuits

Our DT unit this half term is ‘Cooking and Nutrition: Adapting a recipe’. Last week we carried out some market research and taste tasted different biscuits as well as looking at the packing and deciding who the target audience was for each biscuit. This week we followed a basic recipe and made our own biscuits. We made three different batches, one with white chocolate chips, one with milk chocolate chips and one with raisins. We Read more…
