Reception - Understanding the World - Testing How Different Balls Bounce
Reception class have continued looking at forces and today they have been exploring how different balls bounce. The children had a selection of balls to choose from, some hard, some soft, some leather and some spongy. The children had a chance to bounce their balls, swapping with a friend. They then talked about their findings to the rest of the class.
Y4 Science
In Science we have started to look at our new topic 'States of Matter' looking in more detail into Solids, Liquids and Gasses
Reception - Comparing Cars Move Down Ramps
Today Reception class have been comparing how different cars and othher objects move down the ramps. The children observed that the cars went faster when the ramp was at more of an incline. The children then extended this activity by building ramps using different objects and they used boxes and blocks to create different structures to roll their cars down.
Reception - Floating and Sinking
In science today we have been exploring different items that float and sink. The children made their predictions about each item before we tested their theories. We definitely had some surprising discoveries! The children had some great observational comments and explained why they thought some items sank while others floated.
Year 5 - Science - Changing States
In our science lesson today we have been learning about changing states of solid, liquid and gas. Year 5 acted out the changes in solid, liquid and gas. Next we looked at condensation using a tea light, tin foil, a mirror and water, watching what would happen after the water was heated up and seeing the condensation on the mirror.
Two’s Room - Cars and Ramps
We have been exploring the cars and different ramps, to see how fast the cars will go. We had lots of fun doing this!
Reception Class - Science - Exploring Space
This afternoon Reception has been exploring space! We took off from earth in our rocket and flew to the different planets! We visited Mercury - making our bodies small, we used telescopes to view Venus - the hottest planet in our solar system. Then we headed to Mars, we didn’t spot any Martians! Next we went to Jupiter which has a never ending giant storm. Then we visited Saturn and we pretended to be the ring around the planet. After that we went to the coldest planet in our solar system, Uranus, it was freezing! Finally we got to Neptune, the planet that is furthest away from the Sun, it also has the strongest winds. Finally we took a walk on the Moon before heading back to Earth in our rocket! What a busy afternoon!
Year 3 - Science - Animals including Humans
Today we started our new science topic 'Animals including Humans'. The children completed a carousel activity working round the different tables to see what they knew. They looked at sorting the different animals into groups, reading labels on food packages to see what they told you about the food inside, what food they should and shouldn't eat lots of and labelling the bones of a skeleton.
Year 4 - DT - Light Up Box Construction
We have started to construct our light up design boxes in DT this afternoon... some good designs coming :-) stay tuned!
Year 1 - Science - Planting Seeds
Year 1 had a great afternoon planting seeds and learning the names of common flowers.
Year 5 - Science - Conductivity
In our science lesson this week, we were investigating the conductivity of different materials using a basic circuit. The children created their own investigation and enjoyed working together.
Year 2 -Science - Long Term Study
Say hi to the new members of Year 2! As part of a long term study in Science, we are observing the lifecycle of frogs. The first stage being frogspawn - watch this space!
