Juniper have been learning about Fossils in Science. We carried out an activity to show how fossils are made. After an animal dies, the soft parts of its body decompose leaving the hard parts, like the skeleton, behind – we used sweets to symbolise these animals. They become buried by Read more…
In science, year 5 have been learning about evolution. The children researched Charles Darwin and the work he did. To help reinforce our learning, we played a game outside which demonstrated the evolution of finches and their different shaped beaks using pegs, tweezers and chopsticks. We found the children with Read more…
We are already loving our new planting topic. We went up to Kaden’s Garden to do some planting in the sunshine.
This half term in Science Juniper are learning about how humans and animals have changed over time. Yesterday we were introduced to Charles Darwin and his theories. As part of his research studies, Charles found that different types of finches had evolved over time to adapt to their surroundings. Their Read more…
During our Science adaptation lesson, we completed different investigations to answer the following questions- Why do some animals have blubber? Why do birds have different shaped beaks? How do birds stay dry? Why do some animals have webbed feet? How do larger feet help in the snow?
Rowan have extremely enjoyed our science topic, ‘energy’. This week the children have been learning all out energy, different energy stores and how it energy can be converted and transferred. They have also looked at different equations to work out efficiency, speed and power. They particularly loved looking at speed Read more…
Year 4 had a fantastic day today at Eureka. We loved exploring all the different areas in the museum. In the afternoon, we took part in a workshop called ‘Chew to the Poo’ where we learnt all about the digestive system ready for our science topic about human bodies next Read more…
We have loved British science week this week; we have been learning about different scientists and the different types of scientists, we have looked at ‘smashing stereotypes’ in science and how anybody could be a scientist. We also learnt about connections and discussed how we can connect with others, we Read more…
This week we have been talking about British science week. The children have discussed what science is and how it is all around us. Reception have been learning about flowers. We have been naming different flowers and learning the different parts of a flower. One of our favourite flowers are Read more…
As part of British Science Week, Year 6 created water-powered rockets, looking at energy stores, how energy changes from one store to another, and how rockets are designed to fly more efficiently. After designing and building our rockets, we part-filled them with water and used a pump to build up Read more…
