Take a look at some super investigating we’ve been doing in Science recently! Yesterday, we investigated shadows, proving that shadows are a similar shape to the object that cast them! Today, we’ve learnt all about refraction and used water, straws and other objects to see how refraction creates…

This week in Science we have had a look at our experiment to analyse the rate of evaporation of different types of liquids at room temperature. We predicted that the beaker with the lid would have the most amount of evaporation because the lid would create more heat. However our experiment showed…

This week in Science we explored the different stages of the water cycle and discussed the challenging question is the water we drink today the same water dinosaurs drank in the past! 

Year 6 investigated what happens to their pupil when their eye is exposed to light.

We have learnt about the past! I know the past is something that has already happened. 

We have enjoyed learning about different toys that children used in the past. We have been looking at they toys and exploring how to use them, our favourite was the jack in the box! We looked at the…

This week we have been very lucky to have snow! The children were super excited to tell me what they saw on the way to school. We discussed as a class that we have moved into a new season - Winter. We talked and looked at images of different signs to look out for. We then went to explore our…

Today the children have started their new topic of properties of materials, starting at the very beginning of this we have investigated the differences between solids, liquids and gases right down to their particles.

Today we became scientists today and investigated the question ‘Which material is the best reflector?’ We tested materials such as foil, plastic, glass, card and fabric. After testing using torches we discovered foil is the best at reflecting because it reflected the most light as it was smooth,…

To end our Science topic - Animals including Humans. We have carried out an investigation answering the question ‘What animals live in our School grounds?’ We made a prediction using our scientific knowledge of animal groups and then used our IPads to take photographs of the wildlife that we found…

In our Science lesson this week, we have been modelling the movement of the Earth, Sun and Moon. We then made a model and wrote a short explanation in our books. 

In Year 3 we have been learning about Vertebrates and Invertebrates. Look at this amazing learning from one of our Turtles! We sorted animals using the iPad to help and explained how animal’s skeletons are different. 

Year 4 had great fun making clay creatures, mud paint and mini habitats for worms!
