Science Investigations in Reception

We are doing a science experiment to see how we can stop our apples going brown. We came up with some brilliant ideas, such as adding water, vinegar, milk, apple juice or lemon juice. We are going to observe them over the next day or two to see what happens.    

Year Four teeth

The children have been learning about the different teeth types and their functions. Using play-doh, they made models of the different teeth and researched the jobs that they do.

Year Five’s STEM Day at RAF Cosford

On Tuesday, we continued our learning on forces when we visited the RAF base at Cosford. We completed three activates (Rockets, Rover Release and Asteroid Field) as well as had an informative walk around the museum and airplane hangars. Within our activities we had to think carefully about forces and how they were applied to […]

Year Three nutritionists

In Science this week, we focused on vocabulary and learnt the nutrients that living things need to grow, be strong and be healthy. From there, we also learnt where we can find these key parts and their roles.

Seasonal Change in Year One 

Year One have begun their learning about seasonal change this week, ordering months of the year, naming the seasons and talking about what happens and what we might wear in each season. We’ll be heading in to the woods to explore further and to spot signs of Autumn! 🍂

Forces in Year Five

This week in our science learning we have been measuring forces using Newton metres. We looked closely at the different scales and implemented our number line knowledge effectively to read them with accuracy. As the lesson progressed, we looked closely at the different between mass and weight. We understand that our mass never changes whereas […]

Year One’s Wriggly Visitors!

 Year One had a visit from the Unconventional Menagerie who brought in lots of weird and wonderful animals to finish their science learning! They got to consider what animals ate, their special features and where they lived and why. They learned that chameleons don’t actually change colour and that many snakes actually have two very […]

Year One’s Salad

Year One have been designing salads for herbivores! 🥗 They had to learn about where the food items grew (above or below ground), taste test the salad ingredients, design their salad considering what the animal would eat and then make their salad using chopping, grating and peeling skills. Once made, the salad was evaluated with […]

Summer in Year One

To finish our Science and Geography learning about seasonal change in Year One, we have visited the woods and taken our own photographs of signs of summer. We talked about new plant growth, the leaf canopy, insects and animals and considered our clothing too! We also used our technology skills to line up and take […]

Design Technology in Reception

This week, Reception have been design wizards. They were set a challenge to create a maze that they could move a magnetic ball through with a magnet. Look at the amazing designs that they came up with!
