Year 4 were very excited today as we made some oobleck during our Science lesson. We know from our knowledge organisers that scientist find it difficult to categorise which state of matter oobleck is so we were intrigued to find out why. We first made the oobleck with 2 cups Read more
For our Design and Technology lesson we have been asked to make a healthy wrap. In the wrap we have been asked to think about the different food groups to include: protein -hummus, ham or chicken. Vegetables- tomatoes, cucumber or lettuce. Dairy- cheese. We looked at each food, felt it, Read more
Thank you to all the parents who joined us for our shared learning experience! We loved sharing our science lesson with you. We learnt all about absorbent and waterproof materials by carrying out an investigation. We used the curious caterpillar to plan our investigation and recorded the results in a Read more
This afternoon Juniper have been carrying out a separating investigation. We used our knowledge of filtering and sieving to separate our river water back into pure substances. We used lots of equipment: filter paper, funnels, beakers, sieves. We discussed our ideas and planned our method. We finished with some fantastic Read more
Oaks had so much fun at their shared learning. They worked hard with an adult to find out if certain materials were absorbent. Then we went to lunch! It was so tasty. thank you to everyone that came…and well done to the children, they were so well behaved!
This week in science, both year 6 classes have been looking at chemical reactions and have been consolidating their knowledge on physical changes and what they are. The children observed 3 different chemical reactions: burning paper, lighting a candle and the volcano explosion. From this, the children were able to Read more
Earlier this week, Year 1 had a lovely surprise! They got to join reception at a Science show. It was all about materials, just like our Science topic. The children got to test out materials and make predictions. At the end they watched a mini explosion and it made them Read more
This morning we have taken part in an amazing science show. We learnt lots of new things about materials and the different things they can do. A few of us came up to the front to help the scientist carry out his experiments. We all especially loved the exploding experiment Read more
During our topic on Particles and Chemical Reactions, we looked at setting up an experiment to test how long it takes for sugar to dissolve in water. We had a control group and then planned how we could incorporate different variables to change and investigate how to speed up or Read more
Juniper have been making formulations this afternoon. We carried out an investigation in which we made some formulations using cordial and water. A formulation is made when a particular mixture is added together to create a particular product. Juniper have been formulating apple & blackcurrant drinks. Our formulations were made Read more
