Children in Year 4 have been Working Scientifically to explore the viscosities of different liquids.  

Excellent workshop today Y6!

We were joined by an 'Energy' expert from Evolution. They spoke about different forms of energy (renewable, non-renewable and sustainable). We also studied the science behind electric cars before making our very own cars to race on a track!

An excellent…

Year 2 were investigating material strength and how an egg shell's shape can be good for building structures.

Knowledge: Identify and compare the suitability of a variety of everyday materials, including wood, metal, plastic, glass, brick, rock, paper and cardboard for particular…

Year 4 have been exploring electrical circuits.  All the children were given different components (wires, cells, bulbs and buzzers) and were asked to create as many different working circuits as possible. 

Year 2 are investigating how the shapes of solid objects can be stretched, twisted, bent or squashed.  They explored 3 materials - air dried clay, plasticine and Playdoh.

Knowledge: to find out how the shapes of solid objects can be squashed, twisted, stretched and bent

Skills: to use…

In Science we have been examining

sedimentary rocks. Can the weight of a rock change?

Year 3 have been exploring the three classifications of rocks

sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous in science to coincide

with our theme of The stone Age.

This morning, Year 5 had Sarah from URENCO visit us. Sarah gave the class a separating materials workshop.

Pupils took part in various activities. Pupils were comparing different substances and seeing how they themselves could separate materials using centrifugal force.

The class thoroughly…

Building circuits with Y6!

The Year 6 children were challenged to build 'complete circuits' to light up bulbs and to sound buzzers when we turned the switch on.

We then considered how the brightness of the bulb would be effected by making different changes to the circuit.

Well done…
