As part of our topic on the the circulatory system Kestrel Class made blood to help us remember the components that make up our blood, and the functions of each of them. We calculated the percentage blood parts we would need to represent: 55% Plasma , 44% red blood cells […]

Kestrel Class investigated how refraction changes the direction in which light travels. We completed two different experiments which showed distorted images due to light being refracted.
Gecko Class had a fantastic outdoor adventure day. They have been stick whittling, plant identifying and labelling, litter picking and flower using recycled plastic!
Year 4 were asked which chocolate will melt the fastest. They investigated dark, milk and white chocolate by first creating a prediction then analysing their results to compare. They found that most people said the white chocolate was the quickest to melt and that the dark chocolate melted the slowest. […]
To end our theme this term ‘My Home is My Castle’, Gecko Class have been investigating the best mixture of sand and water to build a sandcastle. We gradually added more water to our sand and made careful observations of the castles we built.
To help learn and recall information about the human digestive system, Year 4 played a game called Quiz, Quiz, Trade where they retell information and swap (trade) their cards with each other. The children were able to recall specific functions of the digestive system – see what they can remember […]
Gecko Class took the opportunity of the cold weather to explore and make close observations of the snow this afternoon. We enjoyed using magnifying glasses to get a closer look at the snow particles.
Yesterday Octopus Class had a great time finding out about and experimenting with magnets and many different types of metal. They all enjoyed meeting ‘Spider Magnet’ who did whatever a spider magnet does, and clung on to the underside of the table…
Year 4 have been investigating how to make an electrical circuit with a switch they made themselves through their topic of electricity.
Kestrel Class are learning all about electricity this term and how it has changed our lives over the years.
Gecko Class are starting their Computing Lessons with Mr. Handy and their class topic this term is Autumn, so it made sense to let the children loose around the school grounds with the cameras – using a new piece of IT equipment to look for and record signs of Autumn. […]
Hare Class cut up and prepared fruit and vegetables to make their own ‘super healthy drinks’ today! A lovely refreshing and nutritious juice on this sunny day!
As part of our Science work on plants, Turtle class went on the hunt for some signs of Spring this morning. Even after our fluffy of snow the signs that Spring is on the way are definitely out there (we promise!) Here are a few pictures that the children took […]
Class LM have been testing the level of friction between different surfaces ! They used a tricycle to help them do this !
Ms Hart, Ms Butterly, Archie, Louie, Connor, Sam, Poppy, Jake, Zak, Yildiz, Elmas, Maisie, Cian & Erin would all like to thank: Thing Me Bobs The Factory Shop Perrywoods for their generosity in donating plants and equipment to get their gardening project up and running. This will be an ongoing […]
Science/Maths Investigation. What is the oldest tree in the sensory garden? We can find out by measuring the circumference of the trunk. First we practised by measuring our own trunks!
To round off a Super Science Week all of the children have taken a trip across the Universe in the Astronomy Roadshow Astro Dome. What a fantastic experience!
Science week has been great fun – we have created a Science Dictionary using all the scientific vocabulary we have learnt in Year 1. We have also carried out some Science investigations. Solar Ovens – We made our own solar ovens using a cardboard box – lined with different materials. […]
The children have had a wonderful time carrying out all sorts of science investigations over the last few days, as part of a whole school themed week. In Hippo class we have focused a lot on chemical reactions, using everyday substances such as vinegar, salt and bicarbonate of soda. The […]
