We have been learning a lot about our new science topic ‘Habitats’. Our science expert Brody is always sharing lots of interesting facts about animals so he was the first to wear our class lab coat. Each week the child that impressed in science will get the chance to wear Read more…
Firstly, we would like to congratulate all of the children who took part in last weeks science experiment – volcano. We were so impressed to see all the images and videos! This weeks experiment for you to complete at home is called ‘walking rainbow’. This week you will visualise science Read more…
Are you ready for a challenge? This week will be the first of six different science experiments that you can do at home during Spring 2. Are you really enjoying your science topic in school? Do you want to become a scientist? Do you want to explore the world around Read more…
This half term year 4 will be learning all about space. During today’s lesson our focus question was ‘What are solar and lunar eclipses?’. To help us understand how an eclipse works we went into the playground and worked in groups of 3, with one person playing the role of Read more…
Today Year 4 started their new Science topic all about space. We made model to show how the Earth orbits the moon and the moon orbits the Earth. We also used Oreo biscuits to help us to understand the phases of the moon. We really enjoyed eating the Oreos after Read more…
Year 5 have started their new science topic studying magnetism. We have discussed the difference between contact and non-contact forces. We thought about the history of magnets and what they are used for. We then investigated what makes magnets attract and repel. We enjoyed using bar magnets, paper clips and Read more…
Today, Year 6 investigated ‘how to prevent heat from getting to an ice cube?’ Every child has worked extremely hard over the past three to four weeks focusing on our topic within Science ‘heat’. They’ve been exploring, discussing, researching and investigating how particles behave; thermal equilibrium; thermal conductors and thermal Read more…
Through drama and demonstrations today Year 6 discussed and explored how heat is conducted through solids, liquids and gases. The children discussed how the particles vibrate much quicker when heated; how they collide into each other; how vibrations are passed through each particle until thermal equilibrium is reached. We set Read more…
In science year 6 explored thermal equilibrium through two different hands on, practical activities. We discussed how when we say something is ‘hot’ or ‘cold’ we are saying it is hot or cold compared to us. The children explored this theory by placing their hands in freezing water, room temperature Read more…
