Perfect Periscopes in Year 3
Year 3 enjoyed creating their own Periscopes, thanks to Mrs Williams for our super templates. We have been learning about light, how it travels, reflects and bends. We discovered why and how periscopes work then we used them to spy on each other.
Year 4 Wonder at the Wonderdome
Year 4 enjoyed their time in the Wonderdome (a 3D mobile planetarium). They learned all about space exploration - past, present and the future - and the search to answer the question about life on other planets. It was a thrilling experience. They ended the session by listening to a scientifically…
Awe and Wonder in the Wonderdome
Today Year 2 had an amazing time in the Wonderdome. They went inside the planetarium and watched in awe and wonder as the solar system unfolded in front of their eyes and rotated around them. They found out about each planet and were surprised to find out that Saturn has 62 moons! The children…
Wonderful Wonderdome Year 3
We learnt lots about Earth and Space in the Wonderdome. It was great fun. This made a great introduction to Science Week that is coming soon.
Nursery in the Wonder Dome

Y6 visit the Wonder Dome
Y6 were absolutely thrilled to be treated to a session in the Wonder Dome - a mobile 3D planetarium. Once inside, they went on a journey to space and learned about how there could well be life on other planets. What an experience!
Y6 St Bees Science Fair
Year 6 were invited to St Bees private school to take part in a Science Fair. Throughout the meowing the children studied the structure of a cell using a microscope. They were shown how a Van Der Graff generator charges things up creating static electricity. In the labs, the children carried out…
Making shadows in Reception
In Reception the children made their own shadow puppet animals. They drew and cut the shapes out and we then made shadows by using a torch and projecting the shadows on to the board.
Year 3 Stone Age to Iron Age Day
We had a great end to our History topic, impressing Ro with our knowledge about the Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages. We enjoyed being a human timeline, making axes, engraving copper, hunter-gathering and fire starting like a nomad with flint knapping.
Investigating Materials Year 1
In our Materials topic we have been investigating whether materials are waterproof or not. We tested kitchen roll, tinfoil, fabric, plastic bags and tissue to see if they let water go through them. After testing all the materials we concluded that plastic bags and tinfoil are both waterproof. We…
Planets and rockets
In Reception we have started to learn about the topic of 'Space'. The children have been learning the names of the different planets and making them in the right colours with collage. We now know that Mars is the red planet and it is hot and Neptune is a cold planet and it is blue. The children…
Friction investigation fun.
We were investigating which surface allows our car to move furthest. The surface that caused greatest friction on the wheels was the grass. The shiny classroom floor allowed our car to move further. We were very keen to make sure that we did a fair test investigation.
