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.

Reception - Science - Solids and Liquids

During our Science lesson today we explored solids and liquids! The children guessed what liquid would be inside the balloons and what would happen to the contents once the balloon was popped. Some balloons were liquid and some were frozen solid! The children also described what they could see and feel during this experiment. We have challenged your little ones to find something solid in their freezer at home, please support them with this and send us a picture with what your little one has found so we can share their discoveries with the class.

Year 5 - Science - Which Material is the Best Insulator?

Today in our science lesson we were comparing everyday materials to see which was the best insulator. Year 5 were very surprised with the results! Which material would you say was the best insulator? Tonight ask your child what they thought would be the best and if you got the same answer as your child. Let's see if you are as surprised as we were. We tested: bamboo glass ceramic plastic paper
