Materials investigation. 

Year 4 have used all their new knowledge of complete and incomplete circuits as well as conductors and insulators to create a burglar alarm.

Great Science and great problem solving!

Science lesson exploring using scientific equipment. 

In Computing, children in Year 4 have been building on their Scratch Programming knowledge to create an electrical circuit game.  The children have been learning about different variables as well as broadcast commands.  

Well done Y6 - a fabulous science week full of discovery and wonder.

1) Microorganisms - we discussed how microbes are passed on between us and actions we can take to minimise the spread.

2) Biscuit bacteria - we had fun making our own bacteria out of sweets and biscuits - we then…

As part of our science topic this half term, 'Animal Life Cycles and Reproduction', Year 5 were tasked with charming worms to allow them to study their growth.

Year 5 had to get the worms to the surface to allow them to collect them carefully. They did this by placing a large stick in the soil…

Children in Year 4 have been exploring electrical circuits.  All the children were given different components (wires, cells, bulbs and buzzers) and were asked to create as many different working circuits as possible.  

Year 3 have been learning all about forces, magnetism and friction.

Here we are undertaking an experiment to find out which surface has the least friction.

This morning, Year 5 had Martin from URENCO visit us. Martin gave the class a separating materials workshop.

Pupils took part in various activities. Pupils were comparing different substances and seeing how they themselves could separate materials using centrifugal force.

The class…

After reading Oliver Jeffers, 'Here we are', Reception class decided to explore their local environment when they noticed a lot of rubbish! We had a discussion about what we could do about it and they were quick to suggest we should pick up the litter to protect and look after our local wildlife…

Year 2 are investigating how strong eggshells are by testing the amount of weight they can carry.

Knowledge:  Identify and compare the suitability of a variety of everyday materials, including wood, metal, plastic, glass, brick, rock, paper and cardboard for particular uses.

Skills:  I can…

Well done Y6 - we enjoyed welcoming our parents to a fabulous class assembly sharing learning from our World War 2 topic.

Y6 superstars!
