Does light travel in a straight line?

26th February 2025Chloe Myers

Today 5M carried out an exciting science experiment to explore the fascinating world of light. The focus of the experiment was to observe how light travels in a straight line.

Beanstalk Crafts

14th February 2025Joshua Meade

This afternoon we noticed our broad bean and runner bean had started to sprout and the shoot was growing. Then we became scientists and used STEM to see who could build the tallest beanstalk… Check out their brilliant beanstalks! #LovePlover

It’s ‘bean’ a busy afternoon

13th February 2025Joshua Meade

In expedition this afternoon, we shared different thoughts about what we can do with beans. The children named various types of beans. We noticed beans can be different colours and shapes. Then we made some delicious beans on toast and discussed how beans are healthy for our bodies. We used our knife and fork skills to cut up the toast and before we ate “fork to stick and pick, knife to cut and scrape”. We of course tidied and cleaned up after ourselves! #LovePlover

Parts of a Plant

6th February 2025Joshua Meade

Yesterday we looked at the different parts of a plant. We learnt how a plant grows from a seed into a seedling, then sprouts into a stem, grows leaves and the bud then opens to create the flower. #LovePlover

What do plants need to grow?

5th February 2025Amy Woods

Today we have been scientists and learnt what plants need to grow. We discussed if we need the same/different things to help us grow.
Shout out to Aaron this morning who said “plants and children are both living things”.

This afternoon we acted out how plants grow with Mrs Bubb. We started of as the tiny seed, and grew into a beautiful plant. We remembered that the roots go down and the shoots go up.

Am I an insulator or a conductor?

4th February 2025Mrs Haycock

We have been working hard to investigate different materials; finding out if they are insulators or conductors. Then we have used our scientific knowledge to work as writers and produce a full scientific report.

Keep your curiosity growing folks and the conductors will keep the electricity flowing!

We know how switches affect circuits!

4th February 2025Mrs Haycock

It was so good to see the excitement and pride in everyone’s faces when they were able to build a simple circuit with a switch to turn a lightbulb on and off! The pictures show how the children felt about their learning much better than any words I could use, so take a look at the slideshow below…

Well done everyone. I’ll make scientists out off all of you before the end of this expedition! I hope you are enjoying the subject as much as I do. #ScienceRocks!
