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 sky.
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
In today’s Science session, we talked about our bodies and what each part of our body does. We went into the hall and worked in small groups. One person in each group had to lie down while the rest of the group drew around the person’s body. We then carefully labelled the different parts of… Continue Reading
Today Year 4 made careful observations and recorded the results of our experiment to find the effects of different liquids on eggshells. We found some surprising – and not so surprising – results. The most gruesome result was this eggshell which had been left in a popular energy drink – look at the crystals of… Continue Reading
Year 6 have started an incredible new literary project thanks to Seven Stories – and Minecraft!

Year 3 have worked really hard this afternoon sorting rocks into the following groups; sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic. We considered the properties of each rock and discussed in groups to help us to sort. It has been lots of fun to do practical jobs around this topic. Continue Reading
Today, as part of Year 4’s Science topic on the digestive system, we began a new experiment. Using egg shells to stand in for the enamel on our teeth, we will observe the effects of different liquids. We’ve predicted what we think will happen, and next week we’ll make careful observations to see if we… Continue Reading
Year 1 have enjoyed learning all about life cycles. We have learnt about beans; Buterflies Frogs Continue Reading
The two Year 1 bubbles have been doing lots of Science work about life cycles. The most exciting part of our work has been watching the life cycle of a butterfly unfold before our very eyes! We started off with 30 caterpillars and we put them into pots with food and we waited. The caterpillars… Continue Reading
