Life cycle of a bird!
We have had a great time in Science this afternoon as we have created a model to represent the life cycle of a bird. We then presented them to the class using key vocabulary!
Building a bridge for the Three Billy Goats
We worked in teams and used materials including paper cups, lollipop sticks and straws to construct a bridge for the Three Billy Goats. Our objective was to build a bridge that would enable the Three Billy Goats to cross the river and reach the fresh, green grass on the other side! We enjoyed…
Classifying vertebrates!
This week in Science, Y6 have started a brand new topic entitled ‘Living things and their habitats’. For our first lesson, we used clues to try and classify a range of animals. Did you know a turtle is classified as a reptile and a bat is classified as a mammal?
Celery Success
Today Year 3 have learned about how water travels through a plant from the roots to the leaves. We then investigated this by using celery and food coloured water to observe the plant absorbing the colourful water. Look at our results and a fantastic example of the work that was produced!
Spring Spies!
We are learning about the season Spring! Today we have watched a video about nature in Spring and the changes that have happened from Winter. We have made observations about the plants and animals and recorded them in our books. Our minds are blooming with new knowledge!
Observing our caterpillars grow and change
Over the past few weeks we have been observing our class caterpillars grow and change. They have grown from tiny caterpillars to much bigger caterpillars, and then they turned into cocoons! We are excited to report that this week, two beautiful butterflies emerged from the cocoons! We have given…
String Telephones!
This week in Science Year 4 have been exploring how sound travels through different mediums. We created our very own String telephones to show this!
Informative posters
We created posters to inform people about the importance of hygiene and washing our hands.
Glitter Germs
Today we used glitter to represent germs on our hands. We then went around and shook hands with our friends to see how many germs were transferred onto one another’s hands.
Plant Dissecting
This week in Science we dissected a plant and recapped on our prior knowledge of parts of a plant. We discussed in detail what the different functions where and had a discussion on what we thought was most important and why.
Science Crest Award
Today Y5 took part in the Science Crest award which saw them taking on a day long challenge to create a handing washing sanitation device. These sort of devices are used in places like Kenya to provide children with clean water and the children in Y5 learnt a lot in terms of STEM as a result of…
Science Day
We enjoyed a Science assembly as part of our celebrations for British Science Week. The Science Boffins wowed us with some exciting demonstrations, including chemical reactions and the how different forces act upon objects. We all participated brilliantly and it was so lovely to see the children's…
