This week, Year Five were privileged to visit the theatre to watch the performance of Stem Sisters. The performance was fantastic and taught us all about the lives and discoveries of female scientists from all around the world. We also learnt about some vital qualities which the scientists had such as curiosity, courage and persistence. […]
This week the children have had a very egg-citing delivery. A parcel arrived with tape that said ‘Fragile’ wrapped all around it. We carefully opened it and inside found 6 eggs, we have placed them in the incubator and are eagerly awaiting to see what happens. We have made our predictions and the children think […]
The children have been developing their Science skills by learning how to read a thermometer during an investigation. They collected the temperature of two samples of water over time. They noticed how cold water got warmer over time and warm water got colder. How interesting!
This week our Year Three scientists investigated the surface for a toy car to travel on. They worked in teams to perform comparative tests and measured the distance the cars had travelled on each one. Next week, they will present their data and draw conclusions from their findings. Well done Year Three!
This week Reception have been focusing on report writing for our alien visitors! We had a think about what kind of animals the aliens would like to find out about and then thought about what we already knew about them. We went home and discussed our chosen animals with our parents before writing up our […]
Year One have been coding this week using ‘Scratch’ to move a sprite (cat) around the screen! They listened and practised so well then created their own algorithm jigsaws (instructions) for the cat to follow. They had cats jumping on the bed, walking into the sea and finding different animals! Amazing. They also used secondary […]
Children have been fortunate enough to have received a visit from Mary Anning this week. She delivered a workshop, which showed how she became a famous Palaeontologist (person who studied fossils). Children replicated her work by digging for the remains of some species. They asked very good questions and showed a superb understanding.
Year Two is full of super scientists! We have been looking at animals and humans this term and the children loved exploring photos of themselves as babies and toddlers and pictures of their parents as children. They played a matching game and discovered that parents look like their offspring. We have also been learning about […]
This week, Reception designed their own fruit salad following on from reading the story of Handa’s Surprise. The children selected what fruits they would like in their fruit salad. Then they chose and made it, before tasting it at the end of the day. The children even tasted a few of the less common fruits […]
Last week, we successfully held our first residential space camp with our Year Five children at school. The camp started with their science lesson on Thursday afternoon, where their current topic is Earth and Space and they were learning about how the rotation of the Earth gives us day and night. After school, they put on […]
