We came back to School and were so pleased and excited to see all our friends! To add to the excitement, we have new Outdoor equipment to help us to learn more through Outdoor Play, from bats and balls and our new Basketball Hoop, to planks and stumps of wood so we can create our own obstacle…
Spectacular Space Science
On our return to School, our Topic is ‘Whatever Next,’ the story about Little Bear that created a rocket out of a cardboard box and flew to the moon! This coincided with Science Week so we decided to carry out some Space Science! From fizzing planets, making moon craters and shining stars, we…
Y1 British Science Week
Y1 have enjoyed a diverse British Science Week. The start of the week involved exploring plants and setting up an investigation to answer what they need to grow. Everyone planted a bean plant and we are busy conducting daily observations to watch their progress. We also explored the human…
Cinnamon
Our spellings this week are the soft /c/ spelt ‘ci’ and one of our spellings is ‘cinnamon’ so we decided to make some cinnamon toast with one of our spellings. We agreed it’s good to try new things and although some of us were reluctant at first to try cinnamon, we discovered that we quite like…
Using our senses in Nursery
In Nursery we have been using our senses to taste, smell, look at and touch different types of food. We had lemons, mint leaves, cheese, fish and the children’s favourite chocolate. The children tasted some of the foods and we talked about the texture. They also felt them and used lots of…
Science Week 2021
Year 4 have learning about the human digestive system. They have learned to identify and name all the parts and can explain the process of digestion using scientific vocabulary. Finally, they enjoyed making a working model of the digestive system.
Year 2 Science Week 2021
Earlier this week Year 2 learned about the famous scientist Isaac Newton and found out how he discovered the force gravity. The children made paper spinners to explore gravity for themselves. They investigated the difference made by adding paper clips to the spinners and the time it took them to…
Year 3 British Science Week
Year 3 had great fun, testing out which magnet was the strongest by attaching paper clips. They planned and carried out a fair test investigation using a variety of magnets; big and small. The smallest horseshoe magnet held 61 large paper clips!!! They were surprised that the bigger magnet only…
Y5 British Science Week 2021
As part of their topic on forces Y5 carried out an investigation to see how difficult it was to pick up maltesers, jelly cubes and jelly cubes covered in oil with chop sticks. They realised that the maltesers and the oily jelly cubes were the most difficult as there was less friction between the…

Year 6 have been working on their pencil control and shading skills in their art sketching work. They used the scientist Charles Darwin as inspiration to create portraits as he is our featured scientist during National Science Week.
Y6 Science Week
As part of National Science week, Year 6 have been learning about inventors and innovators. We had a great Science day making spaghetti skyscrapers and designing fabulous fliers. We learnt some really important lessons about the engineering of structures, how to make them strong and the…
