Yesterday, Year 5 took part in an exciting Road to RIAT online workshop, exploring engineering, science, and sustainability.

The children were challenged to design and create their own rockets, each capable of carrying a payload. They had to think carefully about how their rockets would…

Year 2 have been investigating which material is the stretchiest and they have discovered that out of the 6 materials (paper, card, elastic band, wool, balloon and polystyrene) the stretchiest  material was the balloon!  They measured the length of the "stretch" in cubes and recorded this data in…

This term, our young scientists have been exploring the fascinating world of electricity. Starting with research into electrical circuits,…

Wow! What a brilliant talk from Mr White (Max's dad) this week on endangered animals!

In literacy, we have been learning about all sorts of different animals which are endangered for a variety of reasons. Mr White prepared a powerpoint presentation, armed himself with lots of animal models and…

Year 5 were busy being young scientists as we explored irreversible changes. Our question was simple but exciting: How quickly will a candle flame go out when covered by different sizes of glass?

We set up a small candle and timed how long the flame lasted when we placed a small, medium,…

Year 5 continued their science learning this week by following up on our evaporation experiment. After placing cups of water in different areas around the classroom last week, the children carefully observed and recorded where the most evaporation occurred. They were excited to discover patterns…

Today, Year 5 have been exploring insulators and conductors through hands-on circuit work. After recapping how a simple circuit works, the children tested a range of classroom materials by placing them into a gap in the circuit to see whether the bulb lit up. They made sure the setup stayed…
