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.

Healthy Home Learning

28th January 2025Joshua Meade

It was lovely to welcome some of our grown ups in this morning as part of our expedition learning ‘See How Things Grows’. Thank you children and grown ups for working hard, getting smart and being kind. We made healthy fruit kebabs, played fruit matching games, paints our favourite fruits, created a fruit bowl collage and made some cool fruit masks! #LovePlover

We are scientists

23rd January 2025Cody Vines

This week, we have been looking at circuits and talking about what makes them complete and incomplete.

The children have produced some amazing explanations as to why some circuits will work and why some won’t. Well done 4V.

Hand Washing

14th January 2025Amy Woods

This week as part of our expedition, we are looking at what we can do to keep our bodies healthy. Today we focussed on learning to wash our hands properly, to stop germs getting into our tummies. We used glitter to represent the germs and noticed that it we just put our hands in the water, the glitter did not come off. We then used soap to wash our hands and the glitter all came off. We spoke about how you need to wash between your fingers and your wrists too.

All about animals in 3B

14th January 2025Laura Brown

We’ve had some fun, active lessons learning all about animals in Hook Week. First, we played an active food chain game to learn about the flow of energy within a food chain between grass, deer and wolves. Then, we worked in teams to classify different types in animals as either a mammal, reptile, amphibian, insect, fish, bird or arachnid based on their different features. Everyone took part and had lots of fun while learning.

How does our body grow?

14th January 2025Joshua Meade

In expedition yesterday, we were scientists. We drew around Thea’s body. We talked about ways we look after different parts of our bodies, how we can stay healthy and who can help us keep healthy. The children shared some brilliant ideas. #LovePlover

Bushtucker trial!

12th January 2025Mr Pickering

As part of our hook week, 2P tried a variety of different fruits and vegetables. We described if the food was sour, sweet, bitter or strong. We tried some food that we hadn’t tried before and it certainly made us pull some strange faces!
