Year 3 Birch – Non-contact forces
We had lots of fun exploring magnets today! We were able to make them move without them touching!

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 Read more…
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 Read more…
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 Read more…
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. Read more…
This week in class we are celebrating British Science Week! Our given activity focus was – Effective Particle Sizes! We focused on our respiratory system and how participles can pass through some aspect of it. We completed our experiment to see which particle size can pass through each stage of Read more…
During British Science Week, we focused on the theme of “time”. We looked closely at what time means and how we experience time. We also looked at how it would be relevant to Science – experiments need the passing of time to show results, nature changes over time etc. Read more…
Juniper are learning about electrical circuits this half term. We have looked at the different components that make a circuit. We’ve learnt their symbols and had a go at making some circuits. We discussed what effect removing certain components from a circuit may have, then we put these into practise. Read more…
This half term for Science we are learning about habitats. For our first lesson we looked at the seven different life processes. We had lots of fun acting out these processes to help us to remember the correct names. We used MRS NERG – Movement, respiration, sensitivity, nutrition, excretion, reproduction Read more…
Today, our linking project school, Littleborough Primary came to visit us for the day. Touchstones also joined us and delivered two workshops. They were a shadow puppet workshop and a body movement workshop and were both based around the book The Crown by Emily Kapff. We had lots of fun Read more…
