Year 5's Evaporation Experiment
Year 5 continued their science learning this week by following up on our evaporation experiment. After placing cups of water in different areas around the classroom last week, the children carefully observed and recorded where the most evaporation occurred. They were excited to discover patterns…
Year 5's Block Coding
Today, Year 5 used block coding to create their own mini racing games. They programmed a car to move, speed up and slow down, then tested and tweaked their code to get the timing just right. The class loved watching their cars zip across the screen as they learned how small changes in code…
Year 5 Common Factors
This morning, Year 5 were exploring common factors in an unusual way! We first worked out the factors of 2 products and then we had to find the common factors of those 2 products!
We then worked out the lowest common factor and the highest common factors!
Well done Year 5! Excellent…
Y6 BIG MATHS
Well done to all Y6 who went to Catholic High School today to do some real problem solving in 'BIG MATHS'!
Year 5 - Insulator or Conductor?
Today, Year 5 have been exploring insulators and conductors through hands-on circuit work. After recapping how a simple circuit works, the children tested a range of classroom materials by placing them into a gap in the circuit to see whether the bulb lit up. They made sure the setup stayed…
Investigating Evaporation in Year 5!
Year 5 have been busy acting like scientists this week as they set up an investigation into how water evaporates in different parts of the classroom. Together, we planned four locations and made sure the test was fair by giving each cup exactly 50ml of water and using identical cups. The…
Y6 Programming
Well done to Y6!
We had great fun with our friends from 'EDT' in a 'programming' workshop today. The children found out about STEM and the exciting careers available to them in the future before getting their eager hands on the OZOBOTS! These mini robots were an instant hit and the class were…
Exploring RUCSAC
Children in Year 4 have been diving into an exciting new approach to solving mathematical word problems: RUCSAC. This strategy is designed to help children break down word problems into manageable steps, encouraging logical thinking and confidence in their maths skills.
What is RUCSAC?
