We then researched Read more
During our science lesson this week, we have used our senses to describe unknown objects and different scenarios where our senses are being used.
For week 2 of STEM Club, we were making and testing toothpaste! The children were sent a letter from The Bright Smile Toothpaste Company asking them to make and test their new recipe of toothpaste. The children followed their recipe and mixed their ingredients together well, adding colouring if they Read more
Yesterday some children from year 5 began their journey on a fantastic Science Project involving other Rochdale schools. We have been invited to take part in a programme to work scientifically, undertaking a project in which we have to identify a problem within our local community that can be solved Read more
