In our exciting science lesson today, the Year 5 students embarked on a fascinating experiment to explore the factors affecting the speed at which objects descend through water. With eager anticipation, we delved into the world of hydrodynamics to uncover some intriguing results.

Our mission…

The experiment began with a simple question: How can we protect an egg from cracking when dropped from a considerable height?

We learned that air resistance is the force that opposes an object's motion through the air. The larger the surface area of an object, the greater the air resistance it…

Year 3 have been exploring the human skeleton. We have been observing over the past week the effects of water, milk and vinegar on bones. As you can see in the picture calcium is very good for bones, but vinegar (an acid) has made our hard bone go very bendy indeed. 

Year 5 had a fantastic scientific afternoon where we looked at friction.

To illustrate the concept of friction, the students observed Mr Griffiths conduct a fun and eye-catching experiment involving a cloth and a mug. He placed a mug on a table, with a cloth partially tucked underneath it.…

Year 5 students' journey into the world of physics unveils a captivating truth: when it comes to gravity, mass doesn't matter.
This discovery, initially made by Galileo centuries ago, continues to inspire awe and wonder in budding scientists today. It serves as a reminder that the world around us…

Year 5 Science: Unveiling the Magic of Gravity-Defying Water

Have you ever witnessed the seemingly impossible? Well, the students of Year 5 recently did just that as they delved into the fascinating world of science and discovered the secret behind gravity-defying water. Armed with curiosity, a…

Year 2 have been investigating how we can make plastic from milk and vinegar!

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

Skills:  to explain why the…

It was fantastic to show off all our hard work in gardening club this year by inviting our parents in for a walk around. 

I think everyone was so impressed!

When we return next academic year as Year 2s we will follow up by harvesting our fruits and vegetables.

We can't wait to see the…

Children in Year 4 have been exploring the Human Digestive System.
