This week the whole school have participated in ‘The Great Science Share 2022’. The children had an opportunity to work scientifically and plan, investigate and discuss their own investigations. They looked at ‘which sunglasses were best at blocking light?’, ‘what material would be best for an umbrella and why?’, ‘how Read more
We had lots of fun at the ‘Great Science Share’. We got involved with lots of different experiments including lava lamp making; can you keep the caterpillar dry; which material can keep the alarm clock quiet and which sunglasses keep out the most light. We asked our own scientific questions Read more
Thank you Mrs Alderson, Miss Wilde and the Year 6 children for a fun afternoon of science!!! We did lots of different experiments including: which sunglasses keep out the most light, how to keep a (toy) caterpillar dry, making a lava lamp and which material can keep the alarm clock Read more
Year 3 have had a wonderful time working with workers from the Willmott Dixon company to create a bug hotel fit for a Queen Bee. We also enjoyed planting and weeding and consolodating our learning from our Science topic Plants by getting Kaden’s garden ready for the Jubillee celebrations. Here Read more
To begin our science topic – Cells – we looked at what characteristics organisms need have to be classed as living. We used the term ‘Mrs Gren’ to help us to remember all 7: Movement, respiration, sensitivity, growth, reproduction, excrete and nutrition. We then planted cress seeds and looked Read more
In science, we have been learning about waterproof and absorbent materials. We completed an experiment to see if different objects were absorbent or waterproof. We poured water on different objects and if the object soaked up (absorbed) the water we knew it was absorbent and if it didn’t absorb the Read more
In our Science topic ‘Plants’ we have been looking at different types of trees. We went for a walk around the school grounds to discover if we had both Deciduous and Evergreen Trees in the grounds. We found lots of Deciduous trees which we now know have large, flat leaves Read more
In science this half term, we have been learning about evolution. This lesson looked at how humans have evolved over time and how they became successful predators. We discussed how humans learned to use tools to gather foods, which meant they were more likely to survive as they could get Read more
This week Year 5 have had a special visit from Emma and her crazy creatures. As our current Science topic is ‘Humans and animals overtime’, Emma came to not only to show us her fantastic animals, but also to teach us some amazing facts about them, including their animal kingdoms, Read more
Year 5 have made a fantastic start to their Science topic ‘Humans and animals overtime’. So far we have learnt: the theory of evolution and how it was discovered, how fossils are formed and provide evidence of evolution and animal kingdoms and how they have developed overtime.
