As part of science week year 4 made helicopters. They had fun finding out what happened when different numbers of paper clips were added. They discovered that the helicopters spun faster as more paper clips were added but actually took longer to reach the ground!

As part of Science Week, Year 2 joined Year 6 to carry out some experiments together. Lots of fun was had exploring different designs of helicopters by varying numbers of propellers and propeller lengths to find which designs had the best aerodynamics. Next they investigated how to make bubbles as…

We have been looking at the story of the Last Supper this week. We heard the story from the Bible and then acted out the scene. 

As part of their work on 'The Gingerbread Man', Reception investigated what would happen if the gingerbread man had swam across the river. They all predicted what would happen first. Some of the predictions were right but there was one surprise. The gingerbread man grew in size before starting to…

Year 1 thoroughly enjoyed today learning about star constellations. We thought about how we would have to move if we walked on the moon and what we could see looking out into the stars.  We then made some tornados in a bottle as our topic is ‘Weather’. We have had a great time today and hopefully…

We have enjoyed an action packed day crammed with Science from start to finish.  Sorry if some of us smell of vinegar tonight but we did have fun.  We explored the meaning of dissolving and whether it is correct to say a solid has simply disappeared, it was necessary to eat a little candle floss…

Year 4 enjoyed practising and learning new skills in Bikeability. They practised starting and stopping, using their brakes and gears and working together as a group. They learnt how to signal and the importance of wearing a helmet. They all had a great time !

As part of British Science week, Year 3 have had a great time exploring making helicopters. We had amazing fun experimenting and adapting designs, trying out varying numbers of propellers and different propeller lengths. This inspired lots of lovely discussions about air resistance and…

What wonderful way to get exercise and develop social skills! Year 2 thoroughly enjoyed themselves being active outside in the Spring sunshine this afternoon.

Year 2 were mesmerised by the array of fish and underwater life at The Lake District Coast Aquarium today. They were using lots of scientific vocabulary and expanded noun phrases to describe all the living things they could see. Very impressive knowledge for such little people. 

Congratulations to all the Reception children who read five times or more at home during the last week to earn a reading rainbow stripe. Who will have the most stripes towards a prize by the end of term?

Reception enjoyed a visit to the library today. They shared books with each other then became very animated during a story session.
