Scaling the Solar System: Year 5’s Playdough Planet Challenge!
Year 5 had a fun, hands-on lesson using playdough and fractions to compare planet sizes! They scaled each planet accurately, seeing how tiny Mercury is next to giant Jupiter. This creative activity brought maths and space learning to life—well done, Year 5!
Did you know opposites attract?
Well they do in science! Year 3 find out that two North poles or two South poles repel each other, but North and South poles attract.
Year 5 Road to RIAT
Year 5 had an amazing time taking part in the Road to RIAT event! We started by designing and creating our very own rockets, testing them out to see how far they could fly. It was so much fun seeing everyone’s creative ideas take off (literally!).
Next, they worked in pairs to design a…
Y2 - Science
This week, pupils have been observing their plants' growth and recording their data as well as take photographs of each prepared bag. Pupils can accurately assign the data to the condition in which the plants are placed.
Knowledge: to investigate the best conditions for germinating cress…
Friction
In science we have been learning about forces. This week we learned how friction helps us slow down!
Year 5’s Out-of-This-World Trip to Norton Priory!
Year 5 had an amazing time visiting Norton Priory’s space exhibition, where they took part in some exciting hands-on activities!
First, they put their engineering skills to the test by building lunar rovers using K’Nex—designing and creating vehicles ready for an adventure on the Moon!…
Year 2 - Science (Plants)
Year 2 are exploring the best conditions for plants to grow. They have set up an experiment to test for this using cress seeds.
Knowledge: to investigate what a plant needs to grow,
Skills: to predict what conditions are best for growth.
Vocab: growth, conditions, sunlight, energy
