In Science we have been learning about our five senses. For this lesson we have used our sense of touch, smell and taste. First we have put our hand into the box and used our sense of touch to explore the mystery items. Then we have used our sense of smell to smell the items in the cup to guess…

We have been exploring our different senses each week. This week we focused on our hearing. As a group we listened to potential sounds we would hear inside and outside. We loved guessing the sounds. We then went on a sound walk to see what we could hear. 

We explored squishing and stamping on…

In science we are learning about humans, this week we have been learning about body parts. Some children worked in groups to label each others body parts. 

This week in Science, we have been learning all about how blood gets around our bodies. We learnt about arteries, veins and capillaries and their functions within the circulatory system. We also analysed blood pressure readings. Y6 are really enjoying this topic so far and have produced some…

Year 6 have been busy creating a model heart in our Science lessons this week. As part of our ‘Animals including Humans’ topic, we have shown how the heart pumps blood to other parts of the body using its thick, muscular walls and pressure within the arteries. 

Today we had lots of fun exploring materials. We investigated which material would be best for protect Humpty from falling off the wall.

We have really enjoyed our Science topic on plants so far! Take a look at us exploring the school grounds for wild plants and garden plants. When we got back to the classroom we recorded our findings by drawing the plants we saw and labelling them. 

Last week, Y6 went on a walk around our local area around school to try and spot a range of different living organisms. We were surprised at how many living organisms could actually be found around our local area! We then came back to class to try and classify the different organisms using a plant…

Today we set up an investigation to see in which conditions the cress seeds would grow best. We wrote a list of equipment and made our predictions before planting the cress seeds. We decided to choose four different conditions. We will observe them next week to see what has happened. 

We have had a great time in Science this afternoon as we have created a model to represent the life cycle of a bird.  We then presented them to the class using key vocabulary! 

We worked in teams and used materials including paper cups, lollipop sticks and straws to construct a bridge for the Three Billy Goats. Our objective was to build a bridge that would enable the Three Billy Goats to cross the river and reach the fresh, green grass on the other side! We enjoyed…

This week in Science, Y6 have started a brand new topic entitled ‘Living things and their habitats’. For our first lesson, we used clues to try and classify a range of animals. Did you know a turtle is classified as a reptile and a bat is classified as a mammal?
