Today the children have started their new topic of properties of materials, starting at the very beginning of this we have investigated the differences between solids, liquids and gases right down to their particles.

Today we became scientists today and investigated the question ‘Which material is the best reflector?’ We tested materials such as foil, plastic, glass, card and fabric. After testing using torches we discovered foil is the best at reflecting because it reflected the most light as it was smooth,…

To end our Science topic - Animals including Humans. We have carried out an investigation answering the question ‘What animals live in our School grounds?’ We made a prediction using our scientific knowledge of animal groups and then used our IPads to take photographs of the wildlife that we found…

In our Science lesson this week, we have been modelling the movement of the Earth, Sun and Moon. We then made a model and wrote a short explanation in our books. 

In Year 3 we have been learning about Vertebrates and Invertebrates. Look at this amazing learning from one of our Turtles! We sorted animals using the iPad to help and explained how animal’s skeletons are different. 

Year 4 had great fun making clay creatures, mud paint and mini habitats for worms!

Year three, had great fun exploring for bugs, we had some wonderful discussions  about why we are now finding less bugs, we all agreed that now it’s getting colder the bugs are hidden or underground to keep warm for the winter.

We got messy with mud, making our paint and made some hedgehogs…

Year 4 ,today, in after school club got very messy! They made wonderful pattern paintings by rolling conkers in paint, made patterns with leaves, hunted for bugs and dug for worms!

Year three, today, in after school club worked hard and got very messy to make bird feeders, we know that we need to help the birds during the winter months. 

Have you spotted any in the trees around the school?

Year two, today, in after school club made bird feeders. We know it is important to help the bird during the winter months so we got very messy making bird feeders. Have you spotted any in the trees around school?

We also made some amazing conker rolling pictures using paint and conkers.

Today we took our science lesson outside to investigate ‘Do people with longer femurs jumper further?’ 
 

We measured our femurs and jumped as far as we could to investigate if the length of the bone affected our ability to jump. Next lesson, we will analyse the results and come up with our…

Today we enjoyed looking at different food labels to decide what certain people should eat. We learned that what people should eat depends on their age, size, level of exercise and gender. We then looked at what an athlete would need to eat. After deciding they needed carbohydrates for energy, we…
