During our Science lessons, we were given a variety of different circuits to build. Before creating each circuit, we made a prediction based on our prior knowledge about whether we thought the bulb would light up or not. We then built the circuit to test our prediction and find out Read more
Wow! Year 4 have had an amazing morning! We were lucky enough to welcome two scientists into our classroom today. We learned all about DNA and discovered that it acts like a set of instructions, telling living organisms how to grow, function and reproduce. We then carried out a fascinating Read more
As part of our evolution science topic, we used equipment to show how the finches of the Galápagos Islands have evolved over time and developed beaks based on their natural food source. We looked at which beak type was most suited to grasping and moving small grains of rice.
This week, we investigated which materials would be most suitable for making a plant pot while also considering how environmentally friendly they are. As part of our learning, we explored the properties of different materials and discussed the importance of making sustainable choices. Working in teams, we went outside to Read more
During STEAM week, we completed a number of fun activities! This year’s theme was ‘curiosity’. In Science lessons, we looked at the question ‘ Does the way food look change how it tastes.’ We found that in fact it does! During Art lessons, we looked at the artist Alice Tangerini Read more
This week year 1 have been celebrating British Science Week. Now known as STEAM. For each different part of our week we have focused on different activities. Our science activity asked us to think about how to create home-made bolts using tinfoil to ensure they were able to float on Read more
Year 5 Pine have taken part in ‘Steam week’ this week, celebrating science, technology, engineering, art and maths. This years theme is curiosity. Science – For our science activity the children had the task of designing a moon rover. They had to think about the challenges of driving on the Read more
British Science Week In Year 5 Juniper, we have been carrying out lots of exciting activities to celebrate British Science Week. Over the past week, we have had British Science Week themed lessons in many of our subjects. This year’s theme is ‘Being Curious’. Maths In our Maths lesson, we Read more
Our budding scientists have shown incredible enthusiasm and dedication by completing science experiments at home each week. From exploring fascinating chemical reactions to investigating the wonders of the natural world, they have approached every challenge with curiosity, creativity, and determination. Their hard work and commitment to developing their scientific skills Read more
British Science week – STEAM lessons based on the theme Curiosity Science – We learnt about how birds build nests using natural materials to keep their eggs safe. We then went to Forest School and worked in teams to build our own nests using sticks and leaves. This activity helped Read more
