In our science lesson today, Year 5 Juniper were looking at time. We have been looking at the Earth and Space this half term and have already looked into day and night, but today we delved further to find out how we tell the time. We learnt all about sundials Read more
Today we became predators and preys! Some of us were snowshoe hares. We were safe in our burrows but we had to leave to gather food if we were captured by a lynx we were unfortunately out. Some of us were Lynx’s. If we didn’t capture a hare we would Read more
This week at STEM club the children designed a model kite, which they hoped would fly. In pairs, the children thought about potential problems they could come across when making their kite, for example, choosing a material that wasn’t too heavy. We then tested our kites using an electric fan. Read more
In our science lesson today, year 5 have been exploring day and night. We have explored the Sun and the Earth, the axis that the Earth is on and how it has a tilt of 23.5 degrees, and where parts of our Earth are located – the North and South Read more
This week, our Year 2 class had a hands-on science lesson exploring how different forces affect everyday objects. The children pushed, pulled, twisted, bent, and squashed a variety of items—like rubber bands, sponges, rulers, paper clips, balloons, and slinkies—to see how they changed shape. They discovered that some objects, like Read more
We have started our new English unit where we will be writing a factual tour about the water cycle. We spent today’s lesson learning some facts about the water cycle and creating our own mini water cycles to observe the process.
Yesterday we took part in the live online lesson “Spaceship Earth”, an exciting and interactive space-themed STEM experience that brought learning to life. During the session, Maple learnt how satellites are launched into space and how they orbit the Earth to collect vital information. We discovered how satellites are used Read more
This week in STEM club the children have thought about rocket designs and built a rocket that can go as high as possible. The children spoke about rockets and explored their ideas. Each team was then given the resources that they would need for the challenge. They explored making and Read more
In Science this week, Year 1 focused their learning on the senses of taste and touch. We began with a “feely bag” activity, where the children took turns placing their hands inside and using their sense of touch to describe and guess the object inside. Some children repeated the activity Read more
In our Science lesson today, we carried out an investigation to see if the hardness of a toothbrush affects how well it cleans. We tested 3 different types of toothbrushes: soft, medium and hard and timed how long it took to clean whiteboard pen off a sheet of laminated teeth.
