Y2 - Science - Animals Including Humans.
Y2 started our new topic 'Animals including humans' in Science by sequencing the life cycle of different animals - a chick, butterfly, frog and newt.
Y2 Science - Everyday Materials
We completed our final Science investigation for our topic 'Everyday Materials' last week. We tested glass, plastic, foil, wood and paper to see which was the best at letting light through. We found that glass let lots of light through, plastic and paper let some light through and foil and wood didn't let any light through. We sent our findings to a scientist to let him know that glass is the best material for his new windscreen in his racing car as it let the most light through.
Y2 Science - Testing Materials
This week in Science, the children investigated the best material to make an umbrella. They tested cling film, tissue, tin foil, a plastic bag and kitchen roll. They found 3 of the materials were waterproof but decided the plastic bag would make the best umbrella as it’s also stronger.
Y2 Science - Identifying and Comparing Materials
After listening to the song 'There's a hole in my bucket' we received a text message from Henry asking for our help. He wanted us to find something to fill the hole in his bucket. We thought about different materials we could investigate and found that blue-tack didn't let any water through, whereas playdough let 59 drops of water through in 30 seconds. The children then wrote a text message back to Henry with their advice.
Y3 - Science - Shadows
Today Year 3 have been investigating that happens to our shadows through the day. Thank goodness the sun came out today!
Pre School - Exploring Autumn
We have had lots of fun this week learning all about Autumn and the wonderful things that happen during this time. We have talked about what animals hibernate and then we have painted these. We have been on a leaf hunt and collected lots of leaves to then make pictures with.
Year 1 Science - Signs of Autumn
In Science today Year 1 went into the school grounds to look for signs of Autumn. We found trees that were changing colour and leaves that had fallen to the ground.
Year 6 - Science - Testing Bird Feet
Year 6 have had a “splashing” time testing which bird foot is best for swimming in science this afternoon!
Year 6 - Science - Fossils
Year 6 enjoyed our science lesson about fossils. We explored a number of different fossils, and then learnt about why fossils are so important for the understanding of evolution. We all agreed that we wished we could learn about fossils every day!
Year 4 - An Action Packed Week.
Year 4 have had another busy and action packed week. Some of our highlights this week include: identifying and finding plants, spending our tokens in our first ever visit at the school's shop, being a human boat in a storm (!) and finding historical evidence to decide whether Theseus and the Minotaur really did happen.
Y1 Science - Rain Gauge
In Science in year one we have been looking at all types of weather, The children all worked in teams to make a Rain Gauge, which will help us measure how much rain falls over a period of time.
Y3 Science - Investigating Shadows
Year 3 have been investigating which objects make light or dark shadows.
