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!

Brushing Teeth Experiment

3rd February 2025Joshua Meade

Over the weekend the children were given a dental disclosing tablet – a fun and important experiment for children to understand and see the important of brushing and keeping all their teeth clean! What a cool toothbrush Ada has, it flashes red for 2 minutes so she knows that she has been brushing for the correct amount of time. Check out some of our gleaming smiles!

Planting in Y2

1st February 2025Mrs Lewis

In Y2 we have been checking in on our planting experiments from last week. The seeds we watered had started to grow but the one without sunlight did not look very healthy. The ones we planted without water have not done anything at all. The children’s predictions were correct, plants need water, sun and the correct temperature to grow healthy and strong.

It was great to see some children’s cress plants come back into class so we could see how they had grown. Well done to our green-fingered classmates!

Keep Growing!

31st January 2025Mr Pickering

2P have been learning about what a plant needs to grow and stay healthy. We then used this to plant some beans and we will keep looking after them to give them what they need. We also started an experiment where we planted some cress seeds. Two pots will have light and warmth but only one will get water. The other two pots will be kept dark and cool and only one will get water. We can’t wait to see what happens!

Brushing Our Teeth

29th January 2025Amy Woods

This week we have been looking at how we can keep our teeth healthy, by brushing them. We have learnt how to brush our teeth properly, and used disclosure tablets at home to see the plaque in our teeth, so we know where we still need to brush. We learnt a song to help remind us how/when to clean our teeth, it’s been great to see some children singing this independently during choosing time! I wonder if they can sing it for you at home.
