Year One have begun their learning about seasonal change this week, ordering months of the year, naming the seasons and talking about what happens and what we might wear in each season. We’ll be heading in to the woods to explore further and to spot signs of Autumn! 🍂
This week in our science learning we have been measuring forces using Newton metres. We looked closely at the different scales and implemented our number line knowledge effectively to read them with accuracy. As the lesson progressed, we looked closely at the different between mass and weight. We understand that our mass never changes whereas […]
Year One had a visit from the Unconventional Menagerie who brought in lots of weird and wonderful animals to finish their science learning! They got to consider what animals ate, their special features and where they lived and why. They learned that chameleons don’t actually change colour and that many snakes actually have two very […]
Year One have been designing salads for herbivores! 🥗 They had to learn about where the food items grew (above or below ground), taste test the salad ingredients, design their salad considering what the animal would eat and then make their salad using chopping, grating and peeling skills. Once made, the salad was evaluated with […]
To finish our Science and Geography learning about seasonal change in Year One, we have visited the woods and taken our own photographs of signs of summer. We talked about new plant growth, the leaf canopy, insects and animals and considered our clothing too! We also used our technology skills to line up and take […]
This week, Reception have been design wizards. They were set a challenge to create a maze that they could move a magnetic ball through with a magnet. Look at the amazing designs that they came up with!
Year One have been learning about the human body in Science. They had to name various body parts, label them and think about what they did. They enjoyed playing matching games and working together to label giant bodies! 🦵🦶🫱
The children had a fantastic day in the outdoors experiencing how Stone Age men and women lived. We dressed like them, made shelters like them, learnt about the animals and made tools. So much fun learning!
Year Three learnt scientific vocabulary linked with the life cycle of plants. Lots of gestures and moving about to remember germination, fertilisation, seed, pollination and disperse.
This week for the start of our new topic of minibeasts, we have been learning all about bees! We were amazed to find out that they had 5 eyes and that they could smell and taste through their antennae. We have been using our fine motor skills to fill the cells on the flower like […]
