During British Science week we have learnt all about different types of scientists and were amazed at how many amazing jobs there are that involve Science. Year 2 were given the task of creating animal/ bug hotels. We were very lucky to have some fantastic Year 6 children to come Read more…
We kicked off British Science Week with a fantastic assembly from our science ambassadors. They told us about the theme for this year which is ‘connections’ and told us all about the fun activities we will be doing in school with our class teachers! What Read more…
During a Science lesson, we used Oreos to look at the different phases of the moon. The children loved the part where they got to eat the Oreos the most!
Year 5 Juniper have had a fantastic time with an afternoon full of science to celebrate British Science Week. Children were able to research and present factual information about Nikola Tesla (a famous electrical scientist in history) by actively retrieving information about him and presenting it in a booklet. Together, Read more…
Children loved using the walkie talkies today for British Science Week. They couldn’t believe how well they worked! We also looked at different types of Scientists and discovered that we don’t have to be a man with grey curly hair to be a Scientist…
As part of our learning for British Science Week, Year 5 have enjoyed learning about electrical connections this afternoon. First we used our post it note planning to plan our investigation. We deciding to investigate which materials are electrical conductors and which are electrical insulators. We thought about which variables Read more…
In our science lesson today, Year 5 have been exploring with components of electrical circuits to learn about the flow of electricity and how it compares with static electricity. Children were able to identify the different components of electrical circuits and discover the conditions for electricity to flow which makes Read more…
In our Learning for Life lesson today, children were able to understand the importance of food, water, oxygen, sleep and exercise for the human body and its health. We discussed some amazing facts about our bodies through a quiz and children then carried out research to answer their own number Read more…
In Science, Year 5 Pine enjoyed investigating magnets. First we recapped prior learning and sorted objects into magnetic, not magnetic and magnets. We discussed how we can turn magnetic materials into magnets but also looked at how magnetic materials behave differently to magnets. The children enjoyed working in groups to Read more…
Year 6 have thoroughly enjoyed watching the science show this afternoon focusing on electricity. It was brilliant to see how much knowledge the children had retained since learning about electricity in year 5. A scientist came to school to shows lots of demonstrations, the children had to make predictions about Read more…
