As part of our British Science Week work, Year 5 visited Strudda Farm to learn about growth. They found out about the importance of the growth of wheat, corn and barley in order to produce a lot of the foods they love to eat. They were delighted to pet new born lambs and chicks and were thrilled…

We have also been reading the story of, ‘Mr Archimedes bath’ in Reception and how his bath kept overflowing with all the animals getting in. The children made their own bath and we tested which animals made it overflow. The children predicted when the bath would overflow. When they dropped each…
