Reception-Science- Looking at how the wind changes position and appearance of things 24th Nov 2023

The Children have been exploring the wind and how it changes the position of things. We used a kite to see how the wind moved the kite through the air, the children had a go at flying the kite and then made their own kites to try.

Year 1 - Science - Materials - Water & Ice - Melt & Freeze 23rd Nov 2023
45 images

Those naughty Evil Peas were at it again in Year 1 - they had frozen all the vegetables in ice! We looked at water and ice and tried to describe what they were like. We then used our science brains to make a plan to free the vegetables! We decided to pour warm water over the ice, to use a hairdryer and to smash the ice off! We were so happy to help our veggie friends!

The children have been learning about the story of 'The Three Little Pigs'. We tested different materials to see which ones were waterproof and if used for a roof would keep the pigs dry. The children then went off to make their own houses and test them themselves.

Year 1 - Science -Materials - Rock 9th Nov 2023
37 images

We have been looking at the difference between objects and the materials they are made of. We have been looking at rock. We were so interested to learn that rocks are so different! We carefully drew our rocks, looked at them through a magnifying screen and predicted which rock was heavier.

Throughout the year, we will be learning about the seasons. We started by thinking about autumn. We went on a walk around the school grounds to look for clues that autumn had begun. We loved the sounds of the crunchy leaves!

We had a wonderful (and wet) day at The Wilderness Foundation. We went pond dipping, bug hunting and did some den building too. We even managed to catch 'Noah the Newt'

Year 2 repotting our tomatoes and strawberries 7th Jun 2023
6 images

Following the donation from Noah's mummy and Olivers Nursery, we have had to re pot our tomatoes and strawberries as they have been growing so, so well. They are already flowering and have grown so big! We are looking forward to trying them when they are ready. A big thank you to Jamie, our student and ex-pupil, for helping the children. We think that for your first attempt at gardening you have done a fsbulous job!

Year 5 - Science - Which Mixture Makes The Best Bubbles? 19th May 2023

Year 5 devised their own investigation to answer their own questions about bubbly mixtures!

Our science results 17th May 2023

We crew cress in different amounts of light to see what would happen. We knew that if the cress was in the light that it would grow but would it in the dark?

Science: Growing plants and discovering 10th May 2023
15 images

Year 2 grew beans in bags last week but they have not flourished so we had a discussion about what was needed to grow some cress seeds. These much more successful and we got to taste the crop today. James spoke about how the cress had started to grow towards the light - they were kept on a cupboard in the hall becuase of Polling Day- and asked if we could do an investigation about how light affects growth. We set that investigation up today and will look at the results on Monday. We also planted our tomato and strawberry plants that were donated to us by Noah's mummy. It's a good job that we now know what a plant needs to grow. We are looking forward to tasting these crops. Look at next week's newslettr to find out about our light investigation results.

We used Coca Cola, coins and Skittles today. We were amazed at our results today!

Year 2 Predicting and Observing in Science 1st Mar 2023
13 images

Today we started our science by doing coin rubbing- something that a lot of us hadn't done before. We than had to predict how many drops of water we coud fit onto each coin. We mostly predicted between 4 and 10 BUT we managed between 27 and 61!!

As part of our Science topic, we investigated living things and their habitats by going on a Bug Hunt around the school grounds. We found lots of different creatures and recorded them on a pie chart.

Year 5 - Science - Dissolving And Melting 6th May 2022
50 images

We are absolutely loving our chemistry learning this term! First, we look at the process of dissolving. Miss Clapp demonstrated with mixing a solute (sugar) to a solvent (water) to make a solution. We then made predictions and carried out our own investigations. In our second lesson, we looked at what happens when you add heat to some solids. We watched Miss Clapp melt chocolate and then we had a go with ice!

Year 5 - Science - Friction Investigation 10th Dec 2021
32 images

Year 5 have been learning all about forces. In this investigation, we wanted to find out which material offered the best non-slip properties for a hall flooring. We looked at the surfaces and decided that the rougher a surface was, the more friction there would be when an object moved across it so this would be the best non-slip. However, we then discussed other desirable properties when choosing a flooring for a hall that is used for PE, assemblies and eating and decided that a polished wood would be best.

Year 5 - Science - How do we know the Earth is not flat? 31st Oct 2021
12 images

Year 5 learned about why, throughout history, some people believed the Earth was flat and some people believed it was curved. We learned about Aristotle observing how ships disappear over the horizon. We tried this out for ourselves using a toy car moving on a flat table and compared this to it moving around a ball.
