Y2 - Zoo trip
Year 2 spent a very chilly but fun day exploring animal habitats at Chester Zoo.
Knowledge: I can identify that most living things live in habitat to which they are suited.
Skills: I can describe some of the world's habitats.
Vocab: grasslands, desert, rainforest, polar,…
Year 5 Science - Irreversible Changes
In science today, year 5 explored what irreversible change would happen when an acid (vinegar) and alkali (bicarbonate of soda) were mixed together.
We had a method to follow, we were asked what caused the bag would inflate, and what would happen if we changed the size of the bag.
We…
Science
Year 2 have been learning all about animal habitats.
Knowledge:
-
Identify that most living things live in habitats to which they are suited and describe how different habitats provide for the basic needs of different kinds of animals and plants, and how they depend on each…
Winter activities in Nursery
The Nursery children have been exploring what happens during wintertime.
We read the story of 'Snow Bears' and discussed freezing and melting.
We explored fake snow talking about what it felt and looked like, and we made hot toast like the Snow Bears in the story, and melted butter…
Winter Science
Reception class investigated ice. We compared a bowl of water to a bowl of ice and discussed which might be colder. We used a thermometer to measure the temperature of each bowl. We then investigated which substances might melt the ice the quickest; salt, sugar or bicarbonate soda? The children…
Year 5 Science - Changing Materials
Today in Science we explored the fire triangle and the 3 components of what's needed to create a fire. Year 5 learnt that as soon as you remove a component of that triangle, the fire will extinguish.
We also did an experiment to see how long a flame would burn in different-sized glasses. We…
Whole School Vocabulary Focus
Each class has been promoting and developing our pupils' knowledge and understanding of new vocabulary. In Literacy, pupils have explored tier 1, 2 and 3 words linked to their topic, Read, Write Inc. or Pathways to Write. In other subject areas such as Geography and IT, pupils are investigating…
Creating Switches
This term, Year 4 are exploring electrical circuits and conductors. Today we used our knowledge of circuits and conductors and insulators to discuss the purpose of switches and how they work.
The children were then given a variety of items such as paperclips, card, paper fasteners and safety…
Year 5 Science - Worm Farm
In our science lessons, Year 5 created an artificial habitat to study worms. We observed the worms for several weeks. At the end of our observations we could see how the worms were able to have a healthy life, growing in mass.
In one of our habitats, there were even offspring.
Great…
Y4 Burglar Alarms
Year 4 have used all their new knowledge of complete and incomplete circuits as well as conductors and insulators to create a burglar alarm.
Great Science and great problem solving!
