Curriculum Impact Tag: Science

In Science we are learning about the Solar System. This week we created a 'Pocket Solar System' to take home and share with our families. We learnt the names of each planet and how far away they are from the sun. 

As part of our topic learning about the circulatory system, Year 6 used skittles and water to investigate how nutrients pass into our bloodstream from our digestive organs.

Sharks creating model hearts using a plastic cup, balloon and water with red food colouring. Our favourite part was when the blood splurged out of the blood vessels (straws!)

Today Year 3 have been investigating roots, they have started an experiment where they will watch the roots of a carrot grow over time.

Jellyfish and turtles explored our garden spotting key parts of the plants.

Year 6 investigated the impact of exercise upon our heart rates.

Over the last two weeks, we have learned all about the circulatory system and what it is made up of: blood, blood vessels and the heart. In today’s science lesson, we learned more about the three different blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) and what our blood is made up of! Did you…

This week in science we have started our new topic Plants. We looked at what plants need to survive and grow. We then conducted an experiment where we planted seeds, some have a lack of space to grow, lack of air or lack of light and we will continue to observe how they grow.

Ducklings have had a very exciting week this week! We welcomed 5 new members to our class - Colin, Kelly, Kim, Benjamin and Betty our real life caterpillars! We can't wait to watch them grow, change and experience the life cycle of a caterpillar first hand!
