To end our topic ‘Land ahoy’ we have been making some pirate ships. To begin we had to think carefully, from our science experiments, about which materials would be best to make our boat so it would float. We had lots of fun making these in school and would love Read more…
This afternoon, we enjoyed carrying out a practical activity to demonstrate how plants are pollinated by insects. First the children drew a brightly coloured flower to attract insects. I then gave each child some nectar (cheese puffs). The class were transformed into bees and ate the delicious nectar. Whilst eating Read more…
This afternoon, year 5 worked in Kaden’s garden finding out about the roles of different parts of a flower. We then studied the flowers in the garden to see if we could find the different parts. Back in class, we carefully dissected some flowers and managed to find the anther, filament, Read more…
Year 4 Hawthorn have produced some fantastic diagrams showing the structure of the tooth. They also explained each part of the tooth with some amazing writing. Think we have some future dentists in Year 4!
In our FRESH lesson we tried lots of different fruits. We were all really good at trying new things and found that we loved lots of new fruits. We tried melon, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, mango and kiwi.
Maple have been investigating the digestive system this afternoon. Everyone was treated to a demonstration using bananas, biscuits, cola and a pair of tights, by Mrs Grindrod. There were many laughs and giggles but we are now all fully fledged experts in the digestive system!
Today we learnt all about the digestive system. We thought it was very funny creating our own model with Mrs Downing. We could talk about the functions of the mouth, saliva, the esophagus, the stomach, the small intestine, the large intestine, the rectum and the anus. We are all also Read more…
Year 5 have been working hard on our allotment topic. In school, we studied maps of the local area to find our local allotments. Today, we visited the Cherwell Centre Farm and Gardens. We enjoyed seeing all the animals and we have planted some onion and garlic, which we look Read more…
For our Science lesson, we looked at similarities and differences between ourselves and our friends. We looked at our fingerprints and how they’re different from our talk partner’s finger prints. We then set up a bar graph with hair colour down the bottom and numbers along the side. They Read more…
Maple have had an amazing time at the dentist today. We’ve learnt about different tooth types and their functions. The children came up with some fantastic actions to remember what each tooth type does. Then it was off to the dentist…making some brilliant moulds of teeth and labelling them!
