Super Science Fair

28th March 2025Mrs Graves

I couldn’t be more proud of the children in 4G! They have worked so incredibly hard in preparation for their science fair, and today they really pulled it off.

All around the room, I could hear and see everyone sharing their learning with all the parents. There were experiments and demonstrations, and above all fantastic scientific knowledge.

Our parents and carers were great and were asking challenging questions of the children – which they handled so well.

The children showed such character and it was lovely to see children being pushed out of their comfort zone and talking to adults.

Above all, this came from the children – they shared their interest, what they have been inspired by and gave it 100%. The amount of incredible work completed at home was testament to how much they wanted to show what they knew.

The classroom was buzzing and so was I!

Well done 4G, you did an incredible job!

And now on to our next expedition!!

We are working as scientists

28th March 2025Mrs Haycock

There is a buzz of excitement in 3H’s classroom today as the children are very busy working in their teams to prepare resources and presentations that they will perform to their parents this afternoon. I’ve let the reins go a little and the children have decided what they want to prepare and how they want to present their learning to their parents. They are doing themselves proud. I hope they have plenty of parents to talk to later on.

Good luck this afternoon Years 3 and 4. Be confident. Be knowledgable. Be awesome. Be you!

Science Fair Preparations

27th March 2025Mrs Graves

We really are getting excited for our Science Fair on Friday.

I have been so impressed with everyone has worked on their projects, working at home to prepare resources and collaborating so well in class, writing scripts and practising presentations.

I am really looking forward to tomorrow afternoon, to see how everyone brings their learning to life and hope our parents and carers will too.

Being hygienic to stop the germs!

11th March 2025Mr Pickering

2P have learnt how germs can easily be spread and why it is important that we wash our hands and have good hygiene. We discussed the different ways that we can keep ourselves clean and then did an experiment that shows how quickly and easily germs can spread to each other through contact. Kaya ‘sneezed’ on her hand and then the class all shook hands with each other. It’s amazing how quickly the ‘germs’ spread! We then practised how we can wash our hands thoroughly. We then made posters to share what we had learned with others.

Planting for the future

11th March 2025Mr Pickering

2P has planted a new set of fruit trees on behalf of KS1 to add to our orchard, which we started creating last year. Our expert visitors guided us through the process and we used our learning to help them with the planting. We were able to identify the parts of the tree, the type of tree and then we made sure that the tree had everything that it needed to give it the best chances of growing healthily. Hopefully they will provide us with lots of different fruit in the years to come.

Caterpillar Detectives

7th March 2025Joshua Meade

Yesterday we had some special little visitors join our class. 5 tiny caterpillars. We are going to care for them and see how they grow. We learned the lifecycle of a caterpillar and then did active learning by acting each stage out. #LovePlover

Investigating teeth

5th March 2025Laura Brown

In year 3, we have been investigating the impact of sugar on teeth and how to take better care of them. We used plaque disclosing tablets to check how well we brush our teeth and created posters to promote better oral hygiene.

4V had purple teeth!

3rd March 2025Cody Vines

Last week, we learnt about teeth! We brushed our teeth and then used disclosing tablets to show what we missed. We had super clean teeth by the end of the day!

Powdery eggs, purple teeth and poo in 4G!

27th February 2025Mrs Graves

We have been scientists this week!

First, we investigated how to look after our teeth:

We looked at the results of the egg experiment we started before half term. We placed eggs into different liquids ( water; orange juice; cola; energy drink and vinegar ) to represent the sugars and acids in the foods and drinks we consume. Our results we amazing – the energy drink’s shell had become a powdery crust and the shell of the vinegar egg completely dissolved, turning the white of the egg completely solid and making the egg resemble a bouncy ball. This showed us that sugars and acids have a negative effect on our teeth.

Building on the experiment, we then looked at how well we clean our teeth, by using disclosing tablets to highlight areas of our teeth we might miss when brushing. We had some very sparkly teeth at the end of that session.

Finally, after learning about the digestive system, we created ‘poo’ in the classroom! Using biscuits, banana and orange juice, a long tube, a funnel, a pair of tights and a knife and fork, we recreated the mechanical process of how we digest our food. We had a gross alert and a few couldn’t watch – but we did have fun!
