Today Year 3 have learned about how water travels through a plant from the roots to the leaves. We then investigated this by using celery and food coloured water to observe the plant absorbing the colourful water. Look at our results and a fantastic example of the work that was produced! 

We are learning about the season Spring! Today we have watched a video about nature in Spring and the changes that have happened from Winter. We have made observations about the plants and animals and recorded them in our books. Our minds are blooming with new knowledge!

Over the past few weeks we have been observing our class caterpillars grow and change. They have grown from tiny caterpillars to much bigger caterpillars, and then they turned into cocoons! We are excited to report that this week, two beautiful butterflies emerged from the cocoons! We have given…

This week in Science Year 4 have been exploring how sound travels through different mediums. We created our very own String telephones to show this!

We created posters to inform people about the importance of hygiene and washing our hands.

Today we used glitter to represent germs on our hands. We then went around and shook hands with our friends to see how many germs were transferred onto one another’s hands. 

This week in Science we dissected a plant and recapped on our prior knowledge of parts of a plant. We discussed in detail what the different functions where and had a discussion on what we thought was most important and why. 

Today Y5 took part in the Science Crest award which saw them taking on a day long challenge to create a handing washing sanitation device. These sort of devices are used in places like Kenya to provide children with clean water and the children in Y5 learnt a lot in terms of STEM as a result of…

We enjoyed a Science assembly as part of our celebrations for British Science Week. The Science Boffins wowed us with some exciting demonstrations, including chemical reactions and the how different forces act upon objects. We all participated brilliantly and it was so lovely to see the children's…

Today, Year 4 took part in some in incredible Science day activities, all about space, to celebrate British Science Week! 

Our second experiment of the day shocked us! We made our predictions that the egg would sink when put it in the water and when we tested our ideas we were right, it did sink. 
Miss Mayer then gave us water with added salt. This tricked us and the egg floated at the top of the water!

To celebrate Science day we explored colour mixing by making rainbows. We have been very interested in rainbows as we are moving in to Spring and seeing different weather types. 
We coloured our rainbows and added water to watch them grow!
