To mark the end of our ‘Physical and Chemical Changes’ topic, Juniper have carried out an investigative task which challenged them to free a toy car from a block of ice using pure salt, rock salt and bicarbonate of soda. They had to find out which substance would melt the Read more…
As last years home experiments were so popular, we have decided to do them again. Over the next few weeks, we will be posting different experiments on the blog that you can do at home with your parents or carers. This week our aim is to get 20 children across Read more…
In Year 4 we have been learning about the Rock Cycle. We began our Science lesson today with a Kahoot to go over facts that we had previously learnt about rocks. We then used play dough to explain the process of how the different rocks are formed. We began with Read more…
This afternoon we have been investigating chemical reactions. We observed the effect of changing the amount of vinegar on the reaction with sodium bicarbonate. We discussed our findings and concluded that the more vinegar there is in the mixture that is added to the sodium bicarbonate, the more it fizzed Read more…
We began our Science lesson today with a Kahoot to go over facts that we had previously learnt about rocks. We then used playdough to explain the process of how the different rocks are formed. We began with igneous rock that is created when magma cools to form rock. We Read more…
To end our science topic, Year 6 produced high-quality academic essays to show how much we learnt across our unit. We looked at the key concepts, knowledge and facts that we knew and then planned how to articulate these, using our writing skills and academic vocabulary. We then used Read more…
Today we have been linking our English and our science together to investigate the properties of metal. We will use these findings in our science investigation “why do we use metals?” and also in our big write when we write our own version of the Iron man story. Here are Read more…
Year 4s Science topic this half term is ‘Rocks.’ We looked at a range of metamorphic, sedimentary and igneous rocks and conducted an experiment to see if they were permeable or not.
Last week for Design and Technology we discussed our favourite food then we drew our favourite meal. Then we swapped our meals with a partner and they had to use the checklist to identify the food groups they included in their meal and any that they didn’t include. We then Read more…
In Science last half-term, we learnt about materials and their properties. This half-term, we are using all of this knowledge in our new topic ‘Building Things’. We talked about a class of children who went on a school trip to the rainforest who had to quickly use the things around Read more…
