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…

Year 5 had an exciting science lesson today! They created model alloys using Play-Doh as the base material. By adding different additives like sand and salt, they explored how these changes affected the properties of their “alloys.” It was a hands-on experiment that helped them understand the…

Year 2 have set up an experiment to investigate how food can create gas in the stomach.  They used sodium bicarbonate and vinegar and observed over time the chemical reaction.

Knowledge: I can describe the importance of eating the right amounts of different types of food

Skills: I…
