Y5 have been learning about levers in science and how useful they are in everyday life. We made catapults to learn how levers work and had a competition to see who could project a marshmallow the furthest distance. 
 

In science Y1 have been learning about different types of trees.  Deciduous trees lose their leaves but evergreen trees stay green all year round.  We enjoyed investigating at home and when we were out to identify deciduous and evergreen trees.  Enjoy looking at what we have found so far. 
 

This term Year 2 will be learning about plants in their science lessons. Today they have been learning about germination and setting up an investigation to see what seeds need to be able to germinate. The children planted their own individual pots with a dwarf sunflower seed in. They cannot wait…

Wow we have some amazing Bean Plants in our class! We have been looking after them carefully for a few weeks now and they have really enjoyed the sunny windowsill in class.  Each day we have remembered to water them.  Growing our own bean plants has helped us to understand what plants need to grow…

During Lent we have thought about how we can grow more like Jesus, so we have been even kinder to each other and more helpful.  
 

This week we listened to the Story of Palm Sunday and The Last Supper.  We cut out palm leaves and tried really hard to improve our cutlery skills!  We have…

We have had so much fun learning about Space and the Moon!  It has been one of the most exciting Topics we have learnt about!  As we came to an end, the children wanted to know more about Man on the Moon!  We watched a video clip of the first Moon Walk and we talked a lot about gravity!  We look…

During their work on water resistance Year 5 were set the challenge of making the same piece of blu tac sink and float. They discovered that they had to increase the surface area of the blu tac in order to increase the upthrust of the water then it would float.

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 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…

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…

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. 
 

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…
