This week in Science, year two have learnt three new words: transparent, translucent and opaque. They predicted and explored this with a torch and the many materials around the room, recording their findings along the way.

Year One’s Question!
Year One have been set a challenge during science week and that has been to think of lots of questions! 🙋 They use question spinners to help and posed the question, ‘What do animals eat?’ 🤔 We then used secondary sources on the iPads to investigate, we learned the terms carnivore 🦁 herbivore 🐑 and […]
Science Week in Reception
This week, we have been conducting a scientific enquiry to find out what would happen when we put a paper towel into two different colours of water. We had blue and yellow, red and blue and red and yellow. The children came up with lots of fantastic ideas, which were recorded on post-it’s. We observed […]
Dinosaur bone investigations in Reception
This week we have been talking about famous landmarks in London and in particular, the National History Museum. Some of the children knew that there was a large dinosaur skeleton on display there. This led on to us reading the story ‘Stone Girl, Bone Girl’, which is a story about a little girl called Mary […]
Super science shadow work in Year Four
Wow, what super scientists we’ve seen in Year Four using their science, maths and computing skills! After presenting their data in a line graph, from last week’s investigation into how shadows change size depending on the distance from the light source, they went outside to investigate shadows even further. They were set challenges to create […]
Year Three’s Jubilee Snacks
Year Three have been planning to create a healthy snack to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum jubilee. They have decided to create fruit skewers and have explored existing designs, considering what they’d like their snacks to look like. Next week we will be taste testing and developing our preparation and cutting skills to create our own […]
Plants in Year Two
Year Two have been growing plants together this year. Recently, they planted their own sunflower seeds and hope to grow huge sunflowers based on everything they have learnt over the last two years of science. Who will grow the tallest? Mr Mellor has put his sunflowers in some strange places, such as the cupboard and […]
Year One’s Super Senses!
In Science, we have been learning all about our senses! We used different body parts – our 👀 👂 👅 👃 and 🙌 – and tested how well they worked! We had to count balls being thrown using our eyes (with a sneaky 🙊 hidden), sniff pots (with stinky vinegar in!), listen carefully outside to […]
Making Mummies in Year Three
Year Three have been learning all about how bodies were mummified in ancient Egypt. They have even had a go themselves using tomatoes! They emptied the tomatoes ‘organs’, cleaned and dried the tomato and have packed it in ‘natron’ to preserve it. We are eager to see the effect this has upon our tomatoes and […]
Computing in Year Two
Year Two have been learning how to present information in different ways. Last week, we explored 2Connect to create a food diary mind map. We then continued this lesson in science and learnt about healthy eating. This week, we explored 2Paint, and presented a piece of Clarice Cliff pottery before having a go on paper […]
