This week in science, year 5 juniper have been creating some solutions. To begin our lesson, we did the skittles solution experiment where we watched the colours dissolve and turn into a solution whilst creating a rainbow. The children then carried out an experiment to see if the temperature of Read more
Year 6 created models of invertebrates to show physical characteristics. The children then annotated their models.
Willows thoroughly enjoyed sharing their learning with their families yesterday. We demonstrated our knowledge of nouns, verbs and Kung-fu punctuation, before showing our parents our writing books. We then demonstrated our knowledge of seasons including singing our seasons song, before beginning our task of using different media to create trees Read more
In science this half-term, Y1 have been learning about seasons and weather. In forest school, we continued this learning using the story ‘The Leaf Man’. We read the story ‘The Leaf Man’ before completing various activities such as creating our own leaf men and searching for certain leaves that we Read more
This week, we have been learning all about invertebrate animals and how they can be classified into different groups. We explored their key characteristics and looked at what makes each group different. To make our learning a little more hands-on, we used clay to create our own invertebrate animals. We Read more
In our science topic this half term, year 5 are looking into mixtures and separation. We have been looking at how different materials are made up of particles, and how in a solid, liquid and gas the particles are different. We carried out an experiment in class to see how Read more
During science, we conducted an investigation to find out which toothbrush hardness would be best for brushing our teeth. We tested different types and discovered that a soft-bristled toothbrush was the most effective choice. We also learned that dentists recommend soft toothbrushes because they are gentler on our tooth enamel Read more
Year 5 Pine have been busy investigating different ways to separate mixtures as part of our Science topic, Materials: Mixtures and Separation. Pine quickly discovered that sieving is an effective way of separating solids of different sizes. They carefully observed how the larger pieces remained in the colander, the medium-sized Read more
Today, we explored the characteristics of living things and thought about what all living things have in common. Our learning objective was to identify some of the characteristics of living things and ask questions to find out what living things have in common. We began by learning about the different Read more
