This week at Stem Club we’ve been thinking about weights, forces and measures. We set ourselves the challenge of building a bridge from 5 sheets of A4 paper to see how much weight it could hold. We all built different models and tested them to see how much weight they Read more
In our Science lesson this week, we’ve been learning all about magnets. We know that magnets are objects that have a north and south and pole and that can attract/repel other magnetic materials, that two of the same poles (e.g. north and north) attract each other and two poles that Read more
Last week, Year 5 Juniper started their new topic in science on magnetism. Today we learnt all about magnets, when they were discovered and how they work. We even learnt that magnets were first found as objects called lodestones! We took part in an experiment to test how magnets attract Read more
As we are currently studying the topic ‘weather’ in Science, and ‘Hot and Cold places in Geography’, we took the opportunity to wrap up warm and head outdoors to explore the changes created by our recent , very cold, snowy and frosty weather. We looked closely at the frost and Read more
On Wednesday afternoon, Years 5 and 6 were visited by the scientist Adrian Bowden for an Electricity Science Show. The show started with static electricity and demonstrated some amazing experiments the children could carry out at home. There a was a particular focus on cells, bulbs, buzzers, switches and whole Read more
Our new Science topic for this half term is light. Today we started off the new topic with an investigation – Compare a range of materials to find out which will let light pass through. We discussed what we needed to do to ensure that the investigation was a fair Read more
This half term we have been learning about healthy eating in Science and Design and Technology. We have been learning about the healthy food plate and how we need a balanced diet. We became chef’s in DT and we practiced preparing food using knives, spoons and a grater. We then Read more
This half term, our class has been diving into the world of rocks, fossils, and geology, taking on the role of real-life geologists. We explored the three types of rocks—igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic—and learned how they form and what makes them unique. We sharpened our skills by classifying rocks based Read more
This week, Reception were reading Stickman – we love Julia Donaldson stories and are so good at remembering the jobs of Authors and Illustrators, and what a title and blurb are. While reading stickman, we looked at the different seasons that we might see throughout the story and recognised signs Read more
During our science topic this half term, year 4 have been focusing on different types of rock. During our first lesson, we investigated the 4 main layers of our Earth. We created our own 3D models and could name each layer.
