This week has been the big science share. Reception were challenged to build strong bridges for the Billy Goat’s Gruff goats. Whilst playing outside, the children have built their bridges using different resources such as the big wooden blocks, crates, wooden planks, chairs and the foam bricks. Some of the Read more…
Year 5 had a great day at St Annes beach today. It was glorious weather and the children had lots of fun in the sunshine. The Lancashire Wildlife Trust set up camp for us and carried out some fantastic beach school workshops learning about the wildlife that live in the coastal habitat and how to protect them. The children explored the sand dunes using nets and found lots of minibeasts were living there. We also explored the strandline searching for signs of life such as egg cases and shells. We also carried out some practical activities to learn about the tides and why there is so much life on the beach. The children decided that they didn’t like the litter on the beach and carried out their own litter pick to clean the beach up. There was also some time to play on the beach. Everyone enjoyed building sandcastles, flying kites and frisbees. There was some fantastic teamwork going on.
we had lots of fun investigating the shaving foam rain cloud experiment. The children used shaving foam represented a cloud, the water represented the atmosphere and the food colouring represented the rain. The children found that as the cloud get heavier, gravity pulls the water down out of the clouds Read more…
Today we celebrated the Great Science Share by improving our understanding of clouds. We learnt about precipitation and how clouds collect evaporated water and make rain. Here are some pictures of our experiment.
Yesterday, Year 6 had a great time working on five different STEM challenges for the Great Science Share. The Great Science Share allowed the children to develop their own scientific questions, carry out their own enquiries and to gather evidence to answer their questions. The children had five challenges: balloon Read more…
We took part in ‘The great science share’, we worked win groups to complete a rainbow colour mixing experiment. We poured a cup of milk into a bowl, we then dropped food colouring in different areas then dropped washing up liquid into the centre to watch what happened. Then we Read more…
We had lots of fun today taking part in the Great Science Share! Children completed the ‘shaving foam rain cloud’ experiment. In the experiment the shaving foam represented a cloud, the water represented the atmosphere and the food colouring represented the rain. the children found when water vapour rises into Read more…
This afternoon, Year 5 had a great time working on an egg drop challenge. The children were given the challenge of creating a parachute to a protect an egg. The children thought about which materials would be best to protect the egg. We then discussed which variables would need to Read more…
This afternoon, Year 5 have enjoyed taking part in the Great Science Share. Children completed the Egg Parachute Challenge investigating different materials that would protect the egg from breaking when dropped. As a class we thought about the strengths and weaknesses of the different materials and identifying which material would Read more…
