Fun in the sun!
We have been busy in Kayden’s garden planting lots of fruit and vegetables as part of our science topic. We cannot wait to watch them grow and try them.

Green fingers
Jupiter had a very exciting afternoon in the sun! Our Science topic this half term is ‘ How will 5 a day help me to be healthy?’ We went in to Kaden’s garden and we have started to grow our own vegetables and flowers.

How can you make a ball go further without throwing it?
We have been investigating how to make a ball roll further. Yesterday we made predictions by making one change to our experiment. We all started with 4 books for our ramp to rest on. Then instead of 4 books we could change it to 8, put the ramp on the Read more…

Science experiment
For science we have been investigating how to make a ball roll further. We made predictions by making one change to the experiment. This is what we changed: using 5 books instead of 4 books, putting the ramp at the end of the books or using a chair instead of books. This Read more…

Separating Materials
This afternoon we have been learning about using different scientific processes to separate materials. We used sieving, filtering and evaporation to separate a solution of gravel, sand, water and salt. We worked together in groups to decide which order we would separate the materials and what equipment we would need Read more…

Science experiment
This week we have linked our science to our history topic The Titanic. We had fun experimenting how boats float by making a plasticine boat: We have also had our first piece of history homework from Logan. So much effort and detail- well done:

Science fun… Planting!
Oaks had so much fun planting beans last week! We planted 2 types: runner beans and broad beans. They added soil into their plant pot and then popped their chosen bean into the soil and covered it up. They brought it home to water and look after. Whose beanstalk Read more…

Investigating in Science
This week in our Science lesson we have started an investigation – What do plants need to grow? We all planted a seed in some soil and decided that we need to water them every day. We have also put one of our planted pots in a cupboard to see Read more…

Which material is the most effective in blocking light?
In Science we have been experimenting with different materials to see which block the most light effectively. We found out that a dark opaque material which doesn’t reflect much light was the most effective in blocking light. We then created a bedroom including different light sources and a variety of Read more…
