Yesterday we took part in the live online lesson “Spaceship Earth”, an exciting and interactive space-themed STEM experience that brought learning to life. During the session, Maple learnt how satellites are launched into space and how they orbit the Earth to collect vital information. We discovered how satellites are used Read more…
This week in STEM club the children have thought about rocket designs and built a rocket that can go as high as possible. The children spoke about rockets and explored their ideas. Each team was then given the resources that they would need for the challenge. They explored making and Read more…

In our Science lesson today, we carried out an investigation to see if the hardness of a toothbrush affects how well it cleans. We tested 3 different types of toothbrushes: soft, medium and hard and timed how long it took to clean whiteboard pen off a sheet of laminated teeth.
Today we conducted an experiment to see if the hardness of a toothbrush affects how well it cleans our teeth.
During our Science topic we looked at the different types of teeth and their functions. We then created our own models, thinking carefully about the different teeth types and their shapes.
In our Science topic for this half term, we are looking at Earth and Space. In last weeks lesson, the children were really interested in finding out about our planet and our solar system. For lesson 2, we started by looking at the celestial bodies of our solar system and Read more…
Pine have been describing the movement and shapes of the celestial bodies in our Solar System. Out in the playground we modelled the Solar System, arranging ourselves correctly to represent the Solar System with the Sun at the centre and the planets in order from the Sun. We then researched Read more…
During our science lesson this week, we have used our senses to describe unknown objects and different scenarios where our senses are being used.
For week 2 of STEM Club, we were making and testing toothpaste! The children were sent a letter from The Bright Smile Toothpaste Company asking them to make and test their new recipe of toothpaste. The children followed their recipe and mixed their ingredients together well, adding colouring if they Read more…
