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. 

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…

Today we set up an investigation to see in which conditions the cress seeds would grow best. We wrote a list of equipment and made our predictions before planting the cress seeds. We decided to choose four different conditions. We will observe them next week to see what has happened. 

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! 

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…

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?

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! 

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!

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…

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!

We created posters to inform people about the importance of hygiene and washing our hands.

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.
