This week for STEAM Week, the children in early years have enjoyed a range of exciting learning experiences across Science, Engineering, Art, DT and Mathematics. In science, the children explored how animals are similar and different by observing and comparing their features. They also investigated the importance of clean water Read more
This week, we have been focusing on developing our understanding of how to find a fraction of a number. We explored this concept through a range of activities, including using visual models and practical examples to help reinforce the idea of dividing quantities into equal parts before finding the required Read more
This week in Year 5, we have been developing our understanding of angles by learning how to use a protractor. The children were excited to start using this new piece of equipment and approached the challenge with enthusiasm. To begin with, we explored the different parts of a protractor and Read more
Our enquiry question was: Are children the same height in every year group in the school? We began by thinking about what we already knew about growing and discussing whether we thought children in different year groups might be the same height or different heights. First, we looked at a Read more
Today the children had an exciting visit to Erlson Factory where they explored the world of engineering. During the trip, they were able to see how engineers work in real-life settings and learn about the different career opportunities within engineering. The children also discussed the important skills and attributes needed Read more
Year 1, have been working hard on finding the difference. Today we our numbers.
In science, Year 3 have been learning all about rocks, soils and fossils.
