Pine have learnt all about the lifecycle of an amphibian today. We have compared the lifecycles of different amphibians and played a leap frog game to test our knowledge. We discussed in groups how temperature may affect an egg hatching and worked scientifically by using data to draw conclusions.
We have been loving Forest School this half term. This session we linked our learning to our science topic about animals and were they live the children sorted the animals into groups.
This fun and interactive lesson introduced children to animal body parts and how animals can be grouped by their features. Working in pairs, pupils acted out body parts from the Animal Body Parts presentation—such as tails, fins and trunks—while their partner guessed. They then extended their ideas by inventing actions Read more
Our enquiry question was: Are children the same height in every year group in the school? We began by thinking about what we already knew about growing and discussing whether we thought children in different year groups might be the same height or different heights. First, we looked at a Read more
Last week for careers week, Year 3 took part in various activities with a particular focus on engineering. The class used their imaginations to think of where magical secrets could be hidden within school. They then designed robots that would be equipped and built for purpose to uncover and reveal Read more
This morning, Year 5 have taken part in their very own press conference. This week for careers week, Year 5 were given the engineer Mae Jemison to focus on. Throughout the start of the week we were able to learn lots about Mae by watching videos, reading her stories, and Read more
Session 1 – Ask Throughout careers week, Year 5 have been given an engineering topic that is called ‘The Sky’s The Limit.’ Today we carried out “Session1: Ask” which asked the question ‘How do some things fly better than others?’ We looked into how simple systems work, identifying how each Read more
Today the children had an exciting visit to Erlson Factory where they explored the world of engineering. During the trip, they were able to see how engineers work in real-life settings and learn about the different career opportunities within engineering. The children also discussed the important skills and attributes needed Read more
In Year 5 this half term, we are carrying out a topic on life cycles and reproduction. We started our brand new topic yesterday where we began by looking at the reproductive system of a flower. We discussed the life cycle of a plant and looked at each stage of Read more
This half term Pine are learning about lifecycles and reproduction in plants. In our lesson today we have dissected lilies and tulips to identify the different parts of a flower. We have observed and compared equivalent parts in different flowers and described the lifecycle of a plant, including the reproductive Read more
