Reception Science week 2022
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…
Science Week: Stretchy Slime Experiment
Today Year 2 investigated how far slime can stretch. They predicted whether cold, warm or slime at room temperature would stretch the furthest or the least. They tested each temperature of slime and measured how far it stretched before it snapped off. What a messy time was had by all!
Professor Pumpernickel’s Science Show Y4
Year 4 had a fantastic time at Professor Pumpernickel’s Science show. We learnt about lots of different areas of Science in a fun and entertaining way. The Professor’s demonstrations left us with our mouths open in wonder. It gave everyone a real buzz about Science and how Science is behind…
Reception’s Professor Pumpernickel show
Reception watched a Science show by Professor Pumpernickel. He taught them lots of things about Science and how things work and as you can tell by their faces, the children really enjoyed the show. There was fire, smoke and exploding canons, what more could you ask for?
Y1 Growing Beans in Bags
During ‘Science Week’ year 1 are investigating ‘Growth’. We are growing beans but not in plant pots. We are investigating growing them in bags. We are watching daily to look for signs of germination. The clear plastic bag will enable us to see the growth clearly. After a discussion we chose…

Year 5 Science Experiment
Year 5 have been learning about friction. We discussed when friction is helpful and unhelpful especially in certain sports like skiing. We carried out an experiment with jelly cubes, chopsticks and oil. We picked up the jelly cubes with the chopsticks, without oil on them first and then with oil…
Year 5 Science Week
Year 5 have been learning about what STEM stands for and jobs that involve using these subjects. We were very lucky to receive an Innovabox from some nuclear graduates who created this activity box to promote an awareness of STEM in schools. One of the activities was to challenge us to create a…
Year 1 visit Strudda Bank Farm
As part of British Science Week Year 1 visited Strudda Bank Farm to learn about ‘Growth’. Farmer Kev and Farmer Vicky gave us a warm welcome and despite the rain we all had a fantastic time learning about crops, cattle, sheep, hens, owls, peacocks and even emus! It was a brilliant opportunity for…
British Science Week Bridge Building in Y6
As part of our Science week, Y6 were joined by a representative from Kier Construction and Engineering. The children were set a task of designing and building a bridge using spaghetti and marshmallows. They had to consider a range of structures and design a bridge that would be strong, secure and…
Strudda Bank Farm Year 4
As part of Science Week, Year 4 visited Strudda Bank Farm to learn more about the theme ‘Growth’. We enhanced our understanding of the cycle of life and how to live a sustainable life, being more self-sufficient and avoiding waste. Farmer Kev shared his wealth of knowledge and experience about…
Investigating Electricity
Year 4 have been testing a range of materials to find out if they are a conductor or insulator of electricity.
