Year 3 have been learning about the different layers of the Earth. To help show their learning, we created scaled models of each layer. Sand is the crust, this is the thinnest layer. Yellow is the mantle. Orange is the outer core and red is the inner core. Here are Read more…
Maple have been learning all about the water cycle. We have learnt new words such as evaporation, condensation and precipitation. The children have been busy setting up an experiment to see the water cycle in action. Look at our photos to see how we did it. We have made predictions Read more…
Today we have been learning all about the Water Cycle. We went outside and worked with our talk partners to draw labeled diagrams of the Water Cycle. We were able to talk about evaporation, condensation, precipitation and collection!
We have really enjoyed our story of the Stickman this week. We talked about what the Stickman was used for throughout the story, then thought of our own ideas of what we could use sticks for, we had some amazing ideas; a fishing rod, a walking stick, a broomstick Read more…

Year 6 have been studying the physical geography of both the Arctic and Antarctica. After looking at how some animals have adapted to be able to survive there, we then looked at how we can construct food chains to identify predators, prey, primary and secondary consumers and producers. We tracked Read more…
Year 5 had a great time investigating the phases of the moon. We discussed how the moon appears to be different shapes as it orbits the Earth. We then carried out a practical activity using role play acting out the orbits. After this, we created an edible diagram of the Read more…
