Year Four have had an exciting but messy afternoon, exploring what happens to food as it travels through our digestive system. We used a banana and a biscuit for the journey from mouth to…erm…the end. Some of us loved it, but some found the whole experience pretty gross!😊 Ask them about it, I’m sure they’d…
Nursery had a very exciting delivery of 2 chicks yesterday (unfortunately not the ones that we had in the incubator!). We had a busy afternoon getting them settled in the classroom, thinking of special rules and how we need to do to look after them and having a vote to pick their names! We are…
Year Six had a busy week last week. We started our new science unit, ‘light’, by investigating how light travels. We made models of how this happens by using string, a torch and an object. Children were then challenged to consider, and model, how we see an object through a mirror by showing the direction…
Nursery have had some chick eggs delivered this week, they are very excited to see what might happen on Monday! Here is a little picture showing them ready for their final weekend of incubation. Fingers crossed for an update on Monday!
Year Four have enjoyed learning about and celebrating Earth Day by carrying out a fieldwork survey of different areas of the school to see how much humans have impacted on the environment and whether these impacts have been positive or negative. We then started to look at biodiversity within our woodland and were set a…
The children in Nursery have been enjoying lots of activities today to think about the different ways that they can help to save our planet. They have been sorting recycling, exploring the sea pollution bottles using magnifying glasses and magnets, rescuing endangered species and creating a collaborative colouring to make our own Earth poster. The…
Year One have enjoyed exploring the story of Easter as part of RE Day. After listening to the Easter story, we sequenced it using pictures and reading for clues. We then listened to and practised lots of Easter and Spring poems, linking to our learning in Science about seasonal change and new life. We practised…
Year Six are making the most of the lovely weather by doing science outside today. Uncovering the bones to a mysterious animal bit by bit, they must act as a paleontologist to analyse what they uncover, piece bones together, make predictions about what the creature is and justify their predictions to their peers.
Year Two have been looking at the poem Woolly Saucepan by Michael Rosen. The children have created their own versions this week as part of their materials work in Science. They first chose an object and its material. Then they mixed them up to create super poems. Well done!
The children in Nursery have had a fantastic week, they have been reading the story Jack and the Beanstalk and enjoyed lots of exciting activities including retelling the story, creating beanstalk pictures, building beanstalks and even planting our own magic beans! We took our learning into the woods and practised carrying sticks, big and small,…
