Our solar system!
This week in Science, Year 5 have started their new science topic all about space!
Planting bulbs!
This morning we spent some time planting bulbs around the school environment. The children learnt about the parts of a bulb and how to plant a bulb. They took it in turns to dig the mud before each planting a bulb and covering it over. We then discussed when we can expect to see the bulbs grow…
Using all Our Senses in Forest School
This week we have been learning all about Autumn. We took part in our first Forest School session with Autumn activities.
We enjoyed leaf threading, mud painting, collaging with natural materials and pumpkin cutting.
We talked about our sea sea and used them for hands on…
Animal groups
We have learnt the differences between the animal groups including the physical features that will be different. The children then completed a sorting task to group the images into the correct animal type. They learnt about mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians.
Senses Scientists!
In Science we have been learning about our five senses. For this lesson we have used our sense of touch, smell and taste. First we have put our hand into the box and used our sense of touch to explore the mystery items. Then we have used our sense of smell to smell the items in the cup to guess…
What Can you Hear?
We have been exploring our different senses each week. This week we focused on our hearing. As a group we listened to potential sounds we would hear inside and outside. We loved guessing the sounds. We then went on a sound walk to see what we could hear.
We explored squishing and stamping on…
Using body part labels to label our friends
In science we are learning about humans, this week we have been learning about body parts. Some children worked in groups to label each others body parts.
Super Science!
This week in Science, we have been learning all about how blood gets around our bodies. We learnt about arteries, veins and capillaries and their functions within the circulatory system. We also analysed blood pressure readings. Y6 are really enjoying this topic so far and have produced some…
Super Science
Year 6 have been busy creating a model heart in our Science lessons this week. As part of our ‘Animals including Humans’ topic, we have shown how the heart pumps blood to other parts of the body using its thick, muscular walls and pressure within the arteries.
Egg-cellent Science
Today we had lots of fun exploring materials. We investigated which material would be best for protect Humpty from falling off the wall.
Wild or Garden plant?
We have really enjoyed our Science topic on plants so far! Take a look at us exploring the school grounds for wild plants and garden plants. When we got back to the classroom we recorded our findings by drawing the plants we saw and labelling them.
Exploring our local habitat!
Last week, Y6 went on a walk around our local area around school to try and spot a range of different living organisms. We were surprised at how many living organisms could actually be found around our local area! We then came back to class to try and classify the different organisms using a plant…
