In our science lessons, we have been looking at the phases of the moon. We learnt that one complete phase lasts 29.53 days. 

Using the knowledge we’ve gained about the phases of the moon, we carefully carved the phases into the cream of an oreo biscuit with the spoon.

In our science lesson this afternoon, Year 5 compared the sizes of the planets in our galaxy.
 

We looked at the order they are in along with how long each planet takes to orbit around the sun.
 

We used various fruits to show the scale of each planet compared to each…

Knowledge: I can find out and describe how plants need water, light and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy.

Skills: I can set up an experiment to investigate how plants need certain conditions in order to grow and thrive.

Vocab: planting, sowing, seed, bulb,…

Year 4 have had a very noisy afternoon creating straw pipes and a pipe flute. 

The children discovered that: the shorter straws produced a higher pitch note and the longer straws produced a lower pitched note.  

We have been learning all about our skeleton and that of other animals. We have been observing over time how different substances can affect bones. 

We have created our own 'Sound Wave Machine' to demonstrate how sound travels in waves.  The children explored how the waves change when you tap the jelly baby with different strengths.

Today all the children were WOWed by our MADScience Assembly.  The children explored SOUND in a variety of fun and exciting ways. 

Please keep an eye out for a leaflet about the MAD Science after school club in the next few weeks.
