This half term we are learning all about Magnetism. This lesson we have been investigating 2 different types of forces: contact forces and non-contact forces. We discussed and watched clips about friction, upthrust, air resistance, water resistance, gravitational force and magnetic force. We carried out some mini experiments to see Read more…
During our Science lesson, we used playdough to help understand the rock cycle. We make igneous rock, sedimentary rocks and metamorphic rock. We explained each stage using scientific vocabulary.
Yesterday, our Science Ambassadors took part in the Ogden Trust science event where they completed two challenges towards The Crest Awards. The children had to work collaboratively with other schools to investigate and complete both challenges. The children will be completing eight challenges over the year to achieve the Crest Read more…
