Year 1 - Science - Our Bodies
Year 1 enjoyed naming part of the human body in their Science lesson this week.
Year 5 Butterflies
For our long term study in Science the Year 5 children have been observing the life cycle of butterflies. The children have really enjoyed observing and making notes on the changes they have seen. On Tuesday it was time to release the butterflies. It was an amazing experience!
Pre School- Science- Magnets
The children have been developing their understanding of how the magnets work. Learning that there are two poles, one that will attract and one that will repel. The children watched as the magnets repelled and moved away from the other magnets without touching the other magnet. When they attracted the magnets stuck together and were hard to separate.
Year 6 Science: Identifying Plants for Classification
Year 6 had fun in the sunshine this week, identifying and classifying some of the common UK wild plants in our school grounds. We discovered that a lot of the plants can be classified as flowering plants!
Year 1 - Science - Sorting Objects By Material
Year 1 sorting images according to different criteria. Some of us sorted into fabric, plastic or wood. others sorted into waterproof or not waterproof.
Year 5 Investigating Flowers!
Today the Year 5 children walked around the school environment to look for and investigate a variety of flowers. They had to pick flowers that contained specific parts that they then went on to look more closely at in class. The sun shone, the children smiled and a great learning experience was had by all.
Nursery - Literacy - Remembering Parts of A Story
In Nursery class this week we have really enjoyed reading 'The Very Hungry Caterpillar' together. The children have been encouraged to join in at story time, helping to read the story and using our story props to support their understanding. Some of the children recalled the beginning middle and end of the story and could order our story props to represent this.
Reception Class -Visit to the Beach
Reception Class had a fantastic day at the seaside! The children took part in a beach hunt looking for different beach related objects, including shells, driftwood, a feather and seaweed. We also found a crab, a jellyfish and a dead seagull which the children were fascinated by! The children had a great time splashing in the water, exploring the sand and having an ice cream, even if one was pinched by a seagull! We received so many nice comments from the public about how well behaved the children were, and I agree, they were fantastically behaved and great ambassadors for our school!
Year 3 Science - Identifying The Growth and Survival Needs of Plants
Today Year 3 started a new topic in science looking at plants. They looked at the growth and survival needs of plants and posed relevant questions. How does different types of air affect plants? How much water does a plant need? How do plants grow in different types of light? They then set up an experiment in class by planting four trays of seeds. The first tray had no water, the second a splash of water, the third a normal amount and the last one is being over watered. They will be checking the seeds daily and recording the results.

Year 2 Science Food Chains
In science we looked at different habitats and the food chains that can be found there. We then created our own food chains and wrote a description about them using scientific vocabulary.
Year 1 Science - Testing Materials
Year 1 helped teddy to find some material to make a new umbrella. They tested each material to see if it was waterproof and then told teddy the results. Year 1 found that plastic and tin foil were waterproof, but that the best material for an umbrella was plastic.
Science Day - Making Things Grow
During Science Day Year 3 looked at plants and what they needed to grow. They made their own cress potato heads using a potato, cotton wool and cress seeds.
