Class 4
Finding plants
Our new science topic this term is plants so we explored our outdoor area today to see if we could spot any. We found wildflowers, weeds, bushes, trees, moss and bushes.
Class 4
Our body and our senses
This afternoon we looked at which parts of body we use to sense. We labelled our bodies and matched the parts to each of our 5 senses.
Class 4
Provision Learning
Lots of fun and learning in provision this week. We have been classifying animals, using adjectives to describe, building fairy houses, recognising alien words, practicing fact families, and even having a go at learning how to crochet!
Class 13
Which food does yeast like the best?
In Science, we have been learning about micro-organisms (living things so small they can’t been seen with the naked eyes). One of these micro-organisms is yeast. We learnt that when yeast ‘eats’ if produces gas, so we decided to conduct an experiment to see which food yeast liked best. We Read more…
Class 8
Erosion Experiment
We are learning about erosion and how drools can change their form. We wanted to test different types of rocks to see if some erode more easily than others. By rubbing two of the same type of rock together we were able to compare them. We found that the sedimentary Read more…
Class 14
What colour is light?
In the science unit Seeing Light, Class 14 investigated the question: What colour is light? They shone a torch onto a shadow and watched how the ray of light refracted and split into the 7 colours of the spectrum.
Cooperation
Science Ambassadors
On 22nd November the Year 5 and 6 Science Ambassadors attended a meeting at Hopwood Primary School. They worked with Ambassadors from other primary schools to complete investigations working towards achieving the Crest All Superstar Challenge. They had a great afternoon and showing all four of the core values!
Class 9
Creating Condensation
This half term we have been learning about the three states of matter: solids, liquids and gases. This week we learnt about condensation and did an experiment in class to see how gas becomes a liquid. We drew and wrote our observations and discussed when we see condensation in real Read more…
Class 13
Perfect Periscopes
As part of our Science topic, ‘Seeing Light’, Class 13 made periscopes to explore reflection. They had to cut and fold the card carefully, thinking about the angles of incidence and reflection. When they had finished, they tested them by standing outside the classroom and using them to see in.
Class 6
Gingerbread Man Experiment
As part of our materials topic in Science, the children enjoyed carrying out an experiment to test which material would be waterproof for the gingerbread man to cross the river. The children made predictions, carried out the experiment and discovered the plastic bottle would make the best boat!
