This term, we have been investigating materials in Science. We have tested different materials to see how waterproof they are. We wanted to see which material would be suitable to keep our dinosaurs dry!
Year 2 are really enjoying taking part in our practical Science experiments. This week we investigated how food materials react to being heated or cooled. We learnt lots of things about how materials change when they are heated or cooled. We made predictions and we discussed what the materials looked like after they had cooled.… Continue Reading
We were inspired by the mechanical animals in the story of ‘Leon and the Place Between.’ We designed and created our own versions. We chose either a lion, tiger, bear, horse or elephant to bring to life. We used cardboard templates, paint and split pins to bring our creations to life. We used black felt… Continue Reading
Year 2 are enjoying some exciting Science experiments each Wednesday. This week we worked on an experiment which tested the properties of different types of materials. We found out lots of things about the materials and we had great fun doing it! Continue Reading
Year 6’s first science lesson since the end of lockdown was in conjunction with the Discovery Museum. The fantastic online workshop looked at light and how it is the basis for all life on Earth. As part of this we built in pairs a ‘Camera Obscura’ which were the forerunners of the digital cameras we… Continue Reading
In Year 3 we are investigating Forces and Magnets as our science topic and on Wednesday we investigated the effects of friction on an object when pushed over different surfaces. The experiment measured how far the children could push a pencil pot across a smooth table surface, a wooden floor and a carpet.Year 3 were… Continue Reading
Early Years and Key Stage 1 children who are working in school at the moment are working so hard. They are following the online learning provided by their teachers and are keeping in touch with their friends on a weekly class zoom. Continue Reading
Year 1 have been busy on their Design Technology topic. Their design brief was to make a moving Christmas picture. The children practiced making sliders and choosing a character that would move in their picture. Some of their designs have included snowmen that slide down the snowy hill and Santa’s sleigh flying across the dark… Continue Reading
On Friday we made our Angel of the North replicas. to finish off our Geography topic comparing the North East to London. We designed the replicas last week, thinking about the intent of our models and how someone might buy one for decoration or how a smaller version could be made even as a Christmas… Continue Reading
In Year 3 we are exploring ‘Rocks and Soils’ in Science this term. Today we investigated the strength of rocks (hardness test) and also how much water they can absorb. We worked as a class, deciding on a scaled system to judge the strength and water absorption levels. We looked at rocks of all types;… Continue Reading
