Science - Bulb Brightness
In Science this week, Class Three explored the enquiry question, ‘How does the number of bulbs in a circuit affect bulb brightness?’ The children learned the meaning of our vocabulary focus, ‘resistance’ and carried out an investigation using a light meter to explore how the number of components…
Science - Testing Sound Travel
For Science we tested how well sound travels through different mediums. The children discovered how well sound travels through solids using our string cup phones.
Science - Electrical Circuits
In Science, Class Three predicted and presented results for electrical circuits. We considered why using a wire is recommended despite other materials being electrical conductors. The children reflected on their knowledge of electrical insulators. We worked scientifically by drawing circuit…
Science - Concept of Time
In Science, Class Three devised and calibrated a sundial when learning about the concept of time. The children worked in partners and used the location of true North to observe where shadows were cast behind the gnomon before annotating sunrise, midday and sunset.
Investigating our sense of smell
Investigating our sense of smell! Class 1 had 6 mystery items to identify. Most were able to sniff out the chocolate, some were more tricky!
Investigating our sense of taste
In Science today we investigated our sense of taste. We tried sweet, salty, bitter and sour foods. Some interesting reactions to tasting lemon!
How does the body move?
To help with our understanding of how the body moves, we created working hands with joints, bones, tendons and muscles.
Movement of the Moon
In Science, Class Three learned about the movement of the Moon. We addressed common misconceptions about the Moon and researched Moons on other planets before organising our findings into a table. Did you know that it takes 27.5 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth in an anti-clockwise direction?…
Science - Newton’s theory of gravity
In Science, Class Three learned about Newton’s theory of gravity. The children identified the difference between mass and weight before practically measuring a range of objects to see if there is a relationship between the mass and weight of an object. The children learned that an object’s mass…
