We also made some amazing conker rolling pictures using paint and conkers.

Today we took our science lesson outside to investigate ‘Do people with longer femurs jumper further?’

Today we enjoyed looking at different food labels to decide what certain people should eat. We learned that what people should eat depends on their age, size, level of exercise and gender. We then looked at what an athlete would need to eat. After deciding they needed carbohydrates for energy, we…

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.

This half term we have started our new topic in Science entitled ‘Animals including Humans’. In one of our lessons, we made model hearts using balloons, plastic cups, red food dye and straws! Although it got a little messy we had great fun learning all about the human heart!

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!)

This week in Science we conducted two experiments to explore the function of the roots and the xylem within plants. The children had a lot of fun submerging their carrots in water as well observing the role of the xylem in transporting water and nutrients to the flower and leaves changing the…

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.
