Y2 Engineers in Science Week 2025
Year 2 have been finding out how engineers play an important role in the world of science. They listened to the story of The Three Little Pigs and were tasked with building a house strong enough that the big, bad wolf could not blow down. They worked together in teams of three or four to build…
Science Engineering Week Y6 2025
For Science Engineers Week, Year 6 with tasked with solving the problem of how Jack (from the fairytale Jack and the Beanstalk) could safely get the golden egg from the top of the beanstalk to the bottom. They were all given a set of resources and planned how they would build a contraption that…
Science In Year 5
For Science Week, Year 5 students were given the exciting challenge of designing a way for Rapunzel to escape from her tower. To begin, the children brainstormed and came up with a range of creative ideas, including ladders, rope ladders, slides, and trampolines, all aimed at helping Rapunzel…
Year 3 Science Week Engineers 2025
Year 3 celebrated Science Week by becoming engineers. They planned and carried out a STEM project to build a bridge for the 3 Billy Goat Gruffs to use to get across the river and avoid the troll. They had 3 heavy goats to support and 10 minutes to create it. They all made it. In fact, all bridges…
Goldilocks’ Bed
Today, Reception Class tested a range of different materials suitable for Goldilocks’ bed. The children said the bed must be warm, soft and comfortable. We handled a range of materials and agreed the fabric and cushion would provide the best bed for Goldilocks.
Reception making a new chair for Baby Bear
For Science week Reception have linked their experiments to Goldilocks and The Three Bears. We talked about how Baby Bear’s chair was broken by Goldilocks and how we could make a new one. The children worked in groups making a new chair out of Lego, junk modelling, shapes and outside with crates…

We were all very pleased when we came into Nursery on Monday to find…
STEM Science Assembly Y6 2025
Y6 joined a STEM Science assembly about Tech for Space. They learned lots about space travel and exploration and the technology equated to make this possible. They found out about all the different types of engineering jobs that involve designing and making the technology that enables humans to…
Year 4 Digestive System Investigation
To conclude our topic on The Digestive System, Year 4 donned their lab coats ready to investigate how the process of digestion takes place. The children were given a range of different items which replicate the digestive organs. Working in teams, the children then planned their own investigations.…
Year 5 Friction Experiment
Year 5 students have been learning about friction in science. To explore its effects, they conducted an experiment using jelly cubes. They tried to pick up the cubes from a paper plate but found it difficult because the cubes stuck to the plate due to the higher friction. To reduce the friction,…
Fun at the Farm
Year 1 had a fantastic day visiting Strudda Bank Farm as a part of British Science weeks. The children loved learning about life on the farm. They found out about all the crops that are grown and how the farm reuses it’s resources and keeps waste down. They loved meeting some new born lambs and…
