We made it rain for GSS
Today we celebrated the Great Science Share by improving our understanding of clouds. We learnt about precipitation and how clouds collect evaporated water and make rain. Here are some pictures of our experiment.

STEM challenges – GSS
Yesterday, Year 6 had a great time working on five different STEM challenges for the Great Science Share. The Great Science Share allowed the children to develop their own scientific questions, carry out their own enquiries and to gather evidence to answer their questions. The children had five challenges: balloon Read more

The Great science share
We took part in ‘The great science share’, we worked win groups to complete a rainbow colour mixing experiment. We poured a cup of milk into a bowl, we then dropped food colouring in different areas then dropped washing up liquid into the centre to watch what happened. Then we Read more

Great Science Share 2023!
We had lots of fun today taking part in the Great Science Share! Children completed the ‘shaving foam rain cloud’ experiment. In the experiment the shaving foam represented a cloud, the water represented the atmosphere and the food colouring represented the rain. the children found when water vapour rises into Read more

Great Science Share
This afternoon, Year 5 had a great time working on an egg drop challenge. The children were given the challenge of creating a parachute to a protect an egg. The children thought about which materials would be best to protect the egg. We then discussed which variables would need to Read more

Great Science Share – Egg Parachute Challenge
This afternoon, Year 5 have enjoyed taking part in the Great Science Share. Children completed the Egg Parachute Challenge investigating different materials that would protect the egg from breaking when dropped. As a class we thought about the strengths and weaknesses of the different materials and identifying which material would Read more

Year 1 – Science
We loved Science today. We conducted an experiment to see which solution would be better to blow bubbles with. We made our own bubble wands and tested a solution with a tiny bit of washing up liquid against one with lots of it! We found the one with loads was Read more

Science club – week 1
Last night we had a fun time at science club looking at materials. We had to find the best material to use as an umbrella. The children used scientific vocabulary to make predictions. Then, they tested the best material to keep themselves dry. The children found that plastic was the Read more

Electric Poster
In this D.T unit we having been learning all about Information design and why it is important for us to have signage, posters and written communication in public places. We created an electric poster based on the Ancient Romans. In this lesson, we used our designs and assembled our poster together Read more

Organ Systems
As part of our Cells topic, we looked at the different organ systems in our body. We found that because organisms like humans, plants and animals have so many complex processes within them to stay alive, organs can’t carry out these roles on their own. To enable us to live, Read more
