This week Class 6 have had a great start to the school year! They have started a Design and Technology project by researching products that have already been made and looking at mechanisms in pop-up books. We’ve started PE lessons where we have practised our throwing and catching skills and Read more…
We conducted an investigation to explain that unsupported objects fall towards the earth because of the force of gravity. We measured the depth and width of craters created by a variety of spherical objects in a flour and cocoa mixture.
On Wednesday, Year 5 visited the Liverpool World Museum and participated in an art workshop in the Walker Art Gallery. The children thoroughly enjoyed looking around the many exhibits, with particular favourites being the Ancient Egyptians and the Aquarium. A fantastic day was had by all!
Class 8 have been investigating magnetic metals with pennies and have been working scientifically to record data and analyse it.
During Wednesday afternoon, we held an inter school science display in which multiple schools from across Heywood came to demonstrate a science experiment they had been learning or studying. Harwood Park had great fun demonstrating their knowledge of producing CO2. And other schools enjoyed learning about our experiment. Likewise, we Read more…
Today we looked at the water cycle and how water circulates in our everyday life. To replicate this, we put some water in a bag and stuck it to the window. we witnessed the effects of evaporation, condensation, and precipitation. It’s super interesting.
Class 9 had fun making the water cycle in a bag this week in Science. This activity was a fun way to learn about the role that evaporation and condensation play in our weather. The bags are taped to the window so we can watch closely to see our oceans Read more…
We have magnets in our investigation station this week. The children have enjoyed seeing which objects are magnetic and which are not. Today Skylar and Benji went around the school to explore what magnetic things they could find.
In science this week, we found a practical way to see the speed at which things evaporate. We poured down some water and drew around the puddle. We measured how much had evaporated every 5 minutes.
For science week, we expanded our knowledge into States of Matter by seeing if all materials melt at the same temperature. It was an interesting experiment with an outcome we didn’t really expect.
