Year One went to visit Peak Wildlife Park where they saw lots of interesting animals linked to their learning! They spied penguins and polar bears linked to their geography and talked about animal types and what they ate linked to science too, listening to a keeper talk about lemurs and wallabies! 🐧🐻❄️ We were so…
This week, Year Five visited Peak Wildlife Park to supplement their learning within science. Whilst there, they learnt all about the different animals and how Peak Wildlife Park care for them. Most importantly, the children considered the different points of the lifecycles which the animals were in and how the lifecycles of the animals were…
Last week in science we continued our learning about carnivores, herbivores and omnivores, considering what animals ate and why! 🐯 We’ve also been in to the woods to find signs of seasonal change now that summer has arrived! We used the camera to take photographs of things that we had found, using technology that not…
This week we held a whole school science day. Reception’s focus was forces. They were investigating magnets, floating and sinking, rolling, spinning and floating. It was a fabulous day and the children came away with lots of new learning.
Our super scientists have been out in our wonderful grounds this week, hunting for invertebrates. They have identified them using classification keys and recorded their findings in a tally chart.😊
In our science lessons, we have continued to look closely at the properties of different materials. This week, we investigated separating materials once they have dissolved or been mixed into a solution. We looked closely at filtering to help us to separate the materials.
Last week, we successfully held a residential space camp with our Year Five children at school. The camp started with their science lesson on Thursday afternoon, where in their current topic of Earth and Space they were investigating what causes the shape of different craters on the moon. They then returned to school at 17:30, in…
As part of our story The Little Red Hen makes a Pizza, we have made our own muffin pizzas. We talked about what we thought would happen when we put the pizzas in the oven. We thought that the sauce would get hot and the cheese would melt. We chose our own toppings and we…
This week, our Year Four children have spent a day in our woodland area, appreciating nature, learning how to care for the environment and discovering what lives in our school grounds, as well as developing their resilience, collaborative and risk taking skills. We finished the day with s’mores, cooked on our campfire 🔥!
Following on from our Evil Pea story this week, where Evil Pea froze all of the veggies, we have been exploring ice! We talked about what the ice balloons felt like, what they thought might be inside, and how they think the round shapes were made. The children came up with some fantastic answers and…
