Year 6 Science - Light Viewing Boxes
Year 6 showing amazing team work skills in Science. We are making 'light' viewing boxes, to try to prove that we see things because light is reflected off them.
Two’s Room - Minibeasts
We have had a fantastic week in nursery this week. We have been learning all about minibeasts and creating our own bees. We had lots of fun during rhyme time with our family members. We had fun playing in the water with the ducks. We looked at the word sitting and what it means to us. We all practiced doing this and we also showed this with other objects. We enjoyed playing a colour matching game where we had to match the different colours to the different coloured objects. We have spent time exploring the outdoors and we even found some worms.
Year 4 - DT - LED Lights
As part of our DT topic we have been investigating 'Light Up' signs and created series circuits with switches and resistors with the aim of lighting different LED lights
Two’s Room - Dear Zoo
We have had a good week so far in nursery. We have been looking at our story, Dear Zoo. We dressed up like the different animals and moved our bodies and made noises like the animals. We made animal footprints using the different coloured paints. We also made elephants which have long trunks and big ears! In our physical development room we have been practising our crawling and climbing skills. More fun to come!
Year 4 - Science - The Digestive System
In Science today we have been learning about the different organs, their functions and re-constructing the human digestive system.
Reception Class - Bug Hunt
This afternoon, Reception class went on a bug hunt around the school grounds. We found an array of bugs including slugs, worms and a millipede. We observed the environment and explored under stones and equipment to find dark warm places that the bugs might like to live in. The children really thought about where the bugs might be and gave some great observational comments about what they discovered.
Two’s Room - Exploring Outside
We had fun exploring the outdoor area and we found some wiggly worms and slugs.
Year 3 - Science - Magnets and Forces
Year 3's new science topic is all about Forces and Magnets. They worked their way around the tables trying to answer the three different questions - 1) Hold an object and a magnet towards each other. What could they feel? 2) Examine the different materials, on the table. Can you say which are magnetic or non-magnetic? 3) Look at the picture cards. Can they say which force is being used, a push or a pull.
2’s Room - Exploring light and dark
We have had lots of fun this week, taking part in lots of different activities. We had fun exploring light and dark. We switched all the lights off in our classroom and used a torch to look around. We talked about what happens at night time and the stars and the moon shine in the sky.
Year 3 Science - Comparing Soil
In today's science lesson year 3 have been looking into the different types of soil. They compared clay soil, chalk soil, chalk loam and sandy soil in a blind test making notes of their different properties and then tried to identify them correctly.
Year 1 Science - Body Parts
During Science today, Year 1 learned all about parts of the body. We discussed bones and skeletons, internal organs such as lungs and hearts and the five senses. Year 1 made Anatomy pictures using pasta and craft materials.
Pre School - North and South Pole
This week in Understanding the world, we learnt about the North and South pole and what we would find there. We discovered lots of ice and different animals to what we would see in Darwen. We put the polar bears and reindeer in the North pole and whales and penguins in the south pole. The children then explored ice and what happens to the ice when it starts to get warm.
