This week in science, year 5 have been investigating how the force of air-resistance affects falling objects. The children were amazed by the video of Professor Brian Cox demonstrating how air-resistance acts upon a bowling ball and feather when they are dropped at the same time. In the presence of
In Science, Year Two have been learning about what animals need to survive – water, air, food and shelter. Sometimes, animals might not have everything they need, but there are things we can do to help. The children came up with lots of brilliant ideas including putting bird feeders and bird baths i
Now is the time of year that we need to prepare our Forest School for the seasons to come. Showing the children how we can make our site sustainable and realising their own environmental impact is an important aspect of our Forest School. We spent the afternoon collecting leaves for mulching, repair
In Science this week, we have been looking at electricity. We have learnt what electricity is and also looked at two different types of electricity; current and static. Over the next few weeks, we will also be looking at different ways to generate energy including renewables such as wind and solar.
Over the past half-term, Year 6 have been learning about circuits and conductors. We have talked about the future possibilities when it comes to having good understanding of circuits and the children have acted like electricians to spot problems in circuits and have drawn their own circuit diagrams.
We have been so busy in Reception this week! Here are just a few things we have been learning all about. Topic In Reception this week, we have been learning all about the season of Autumn. We went on an Autumn walk around school to identify the changes we noticed, looking at colours, sounds and the
Over the last two weeks, in Year 4 we have been learning about sound and how we hear. We started by looking at musical instruments and how we could feel them vibrate as we played, banged and hit them. We looked at how soundwaves travel and how they look different depending on the volume and pit
Year One have been investigating different kinds of animals. Firstly they learnt about what an animal is – ” a living thing.” Then they discovered that there are different groups of animals. They had fun sorting toys and pictures into mammals, fish, birds and insects. The children even discu
During our science lessons in Year 3 this term, the children will be learning all about light. The children generated lots of interesting questions they would like to find the answers to during our work, such as ‘Are there light sources in space?’ This week, the children have investigated light sour
Tree recognition can be tricky, so many varieties and so difficult to remember new names. This activity helps the children begin to recognise and match, shape, colour and textures. First each child was given a collecting bag, then into the woods we go to find their favourite leaf shape. They collect
