In Science, Oak Class described the force of gravity and its effects. We used data to measure out the diameters of different celestial bodies on the playground before recording the gravity of each planet. We looked for trends in the data, regarded anomalies and concluded that the larger the mass…

In science this week Class Two investigated and described shadows based on materials. They were able to write a conclusion using the key vocabulary: opaque, transparent and translucent. Well done Class Two! 
 

In Science this week, Class Three continued with their learning about life cycles and reproduction. This week, we learned about amphibians, specifically the life cycle of a frog! The children explored differences amongst the species, including that of a tree frog. We then planned a…

In science, Class Two explored reflective surfaces through a classroom hunt! Through this discovery learning, Class Two identified which properties makes an item reflective and understood how light bounces off them into a new direction. Well Done Class Two!

We looked again at our sweetpeas to check if they were growing shoots and leaves.
In only a few days we spotted some real changes, helped along by the warm weather! 

Class Two had an amazing time on our school trip to the ThinkTank this week! Our little scientists explored the Planetarium, Our Changing Planet and Futures sections of the museum, as well as enjoying the outdoor science garden and a special light show to link to this terms science topic!

We had an amazing day out in Birmingham visiting Thinktank. Lots of hands-on and practical activities to try! The science garden was fantastic! 

What a fabulous trip to the Thinktank! Class Three loved the science garden in particular! We enjoyed a forensic heist workshop, which involved taking our own fingerprints and examining different types of evidence (including trace, impression, biological and digital) to solve a crime!

In science, Class Three started their new unit of learning about life cycles and reproduction. The children worked in groups to order the life cycle of a plant, including the reproductive stage. We then progressed to dissecting flowering plants in order to observe and compare equivalent…

For our first Science lesson of the term, we explored what plants need to grow. We planted sweetpea seeds but removed water, sunlight and warmth from three of the pots. We will check on their progress and compare to our other seeds as they grow.Reception identified the main parts of a plant and…

Today we had a visit from the school nurse team and Charlie Crocodile! They talked to us about how to look after our teeth and healthy food choices. 

In Science this week we discussed what animals and humans need to survive. We created information posters about Giant Pandas. Reception thought about pets and how they need to be looked after.
