Conductivity

In Science today the children have carried out an experiment to determine the conductivity of different materials and link this to their uses. They wrote a detailed, organised method to follow, including variables, measurement, equipment and safety.

Building Things!

This half term during science lessons, we have been learning about materials and their properties to see which materials would make the best wall to use within a rainforest. The children have worked together to build the walls and we have then conducted experiments, first predicting which materials would be Read more

Year 2 took part in a Coding workshop focused on healthy eating. The children met a robot called Al who needed algorithms to help pack a healthy lunchbox. They also explored how to debug when mistakes occurred. The class asked thoughtful questions about Coding, such as why humans don’t just Read more

Properties of Materials: Hardness

During our science lesson today, Year 5 have started their new topic on materials and their properties. Today’s focus was hardness. The children were given a selection of items made from different types of material that they had to organise into groups depending on whether they thought they were a Read more

Shadows

This week in Science, Year 2 investigated how shadows change size. Using torches and different objects, we discovered that when an object moves closer to the light source, its shadow becomes bigger, and when it moves further away, the shadow gets smaller. The children made excellent observations, used great scientific Read more

Ice Race

Today in science, Year 5 took part in an ice race. The children were placed into groups and had to race to free a toy car from a block of ice using only rock salt and table salt! The children had to see which type of salt performed better at Read more
