As part of our expedition in science, we were looking at basic needs for survival!
Well done Oliver for working hard and being kind in phonics. #LovePlover

Active Learning
We are scientists!
Year 4 have been thinking about the materials that are all around us and deciding if they are opaque, translucent or transparent. I wonder if they can tell you the meanings of these scientific terms? We also had fun predicting whether different materials would produce dark, faint or barely visible shadows. After shining our torches onto the different objects, we recorded our results and looked for patterns in them. Well done everyone. I wonder what we will investigate next?
Sorry about the lack of photos 4H – the rest are refusing to upload! 🤷♀️

We know how the sun can be dangerous!
Year 4 have been learning about the dangers caused by the sun and how we can protect ourselves from them. Active learning helped us to search for the facts around our room in the first place. We then used these facts to produce a leaflet about the dangers we had learned about.

Year 3 Glow Day Crew, Maths and Science
We had great day glowing today!
In crew we were thinking about “What makes me glow” and we had some great suggestions from being with family, to doing well at sport.
We enjoyed some glow maths, with a game of ‘Bin-glow’ and a Glowing Maths Facts pair work challenge, where we tested what we have learnt about place value over the last few weeks.
After a lovely lunch, we worked as scientists and investigated light and darkness – what are light sources and what is darkness. Did you know, the moon is NOT a light source! We then conducted our own scientific experiments, investigating whether temperature affects how brightly a glow stick glows, what does light look like when broken down into its separate colours and how does tonic water glow in the dark.
We had a great first ever Glow Day

Fruit/Vegetable Tasting
In expedition we looked at the story Oliver’s vegetable. We then spoke about how we know if is a fruit or a vegetable before trying some fruit and veg ourselves. I was so proud of each and every member of our crew, as everybody tried every single piece of fruit and veg. Some children then recorded whether they liked it with a happy/sad face whilst others showed me with either a thumbs up or down.

Space Workshop
As part of our learning about Mae Jemison, we had Jenny visit us from Alfresco Learning. We worked in mini crews to make and launch space rockets. We used plastic bottles for the rockets, water for the fuel and pumped air in to them to launch them. We listened carefully to the instructions and safety rules so we could have lots of fun learning! We had a great game of space tig and then made constellations. What a fun morning!
