Year 5 started their new science topic today: Reproductive Cycles! We were introduced to some new life in our classroom. We have baby caterpillars and giant triops eggs. We are looking forward to seeing how they grow and develop. We are very curious to find out more about them. We Read more…
As we have worked so hard this week (completing our SATs), we had a class reward! Emma’s Crazy Critters came into our class. She bought Bearded Dragons, a snake, an iguana, baby rabbits, and geckos. We were very brave and held these different critters or gave them a stroke.
This half term we are looking at different types of animals and insects. When we arrived to school on Tuesday we had some caterpillars in our classroom. 🐛 We talked about the caterpillars and discussed what they might need to survive. After reading the story ‘Monkey Puzzle’, we knew that a caterpillar Read more…
This week the whole school have participated in ‘The Great Science Share 2022’. The children had an opportunity to work scientifically and plan, investigate and discuss their own investigations. They looked at ‘which sunglasses were best at blocking light?’, ‘what material would be best for an umbrella and why?’, ‘how Read more…
We had lots of fun at the ‘Great Science Share’. We got involved with lots of different experiments including lava lamp making; can you keep the caterpillar dry; which material can keep the alarm clock quiet and which sunglasses keep out the most light. We asked our own scientific questions Read more…
Thank you Mrs Alderson, Miss Wilde and the Year 6 children for a fun afternoon of science!!! We did lots of different experiments including: which sunglasses keep out the most light, how to keep a (toy) caterpillar dry, making a lava lamp and which material can keep the alarm clock Read more…
Year 3 have had a wonderful time working with workers from the Willmott Dixon company to create a bug hotel fit for a Queen Bee. We also enjoyed planting and weeding and consolodating our learning from our Science topic Plants by getting Kaden’s garden ready for the Jubillee celebrations. Here Read more…
To begin our science topic – Cells – we looked at what characteristics organisms need have to be classed as living. We used the term ‘Mrs Gren’ to help us to remember all 7: Movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excrete and nutrition. We then planted cress seeds and looked Read more…
In science, we have been learning about waterproof and absorbent materials. We completed an experiment to see if different objects were absorbent or waterproof. We poured water on different objects and if the object soaked up (absorbed) the water we knew it was absorbent and if it didn’t absorb the Read more…
In our Science topic ‘Plants’ we have been looking at different types of trees. We went for a walk around the school grounds to discover if we had both Deciduous and Evergreen Trees in the grounds. We found lots of Deciduous trees which we now know have large, flat leaves Read more…
