In Beech class, the children looked at different liquids and thought about what would happen if these liquids were left in a cold place such as inside a freezer. They all agreed the liquids would freeze, however there were surprises where some liquids did not...
In Science this week, we were investigating the suitability of different materials. Some of the materials included: cotton wool, kitchen roll, cling film, tin foil, sponge, and newspaper. Before conducting our experiment, we had to think about how we would make it a fair test....
On Thursday, we visited the Science Museum where we took part in a "Feel the Force" workshop. The children were able to share their knowledge about magnets as well as learning about other forces during the session. The children were chosen to take part in...
Year 4 have had yet another great experience of gardening where they planted coriander, garlic chives and rocket! They have learnt about the importance of looking after their plants and picked up the necessary techniques needed to sow seeds successfully.

In Science, we have been investigating forces. We learned that a force can be a push or a pull. We thought about the different forces that we use every day, such as pulling a chair out or pushing a button on a control. We talked...
After the exciting arrival of our class caterpillars, Year 5 have enjoyed learning about the life cycles of amphibians and understanding the process of external and internal fertilisation. We have also dissected flowers to learn the different plants of a flower and how they reproduce. [gallery...
Year 5 dissected and labelled the parts of a flower, using key vocabulary such as: sepal, stamen, stigma, petal, stalk and pollen. We discussed the role that each part plays in the development and reproduction of plants, suggested ways how the pollen reaches other plants...
Year 6 have been enjoying building more circuits in Science this week. We added a range of different components to our circuits and included a switch too. We have also been busy creating Mayan masks to launch our History topic. So many children have auditioned...
In Year 2, children have been conducting their own science experiment. The children learnt what seeds need in order to grow into a plant. Children carried out a fair test to prove that seeds need water to grow. We put the same amount of seeds...
This week Reception have been on a local walk. They used their observation skills to spot a range of plants and trees. We discussed how they were different by appearance, smell and the way that they grew. The children behaved very safely and sensibly! ...
