It’s all material.

27th September 2024Mr Pickering

2P have continued our investigation into materials and the suitability of materials for different purposes. We sorted materials by their properties and then investigated whether they were waterproof, strong and windproof. We discovered that materials can be different depending on what they are used for. We tested whether our outside wooden shed was waterproof by standing inside it and pouring water over the roof. We discovered that although the wood was generally waterproof, there were a few holes that allowed the water in! A small shock for a few children! We then collected our results and decided which materials would be best to build a house from.

‘Phases of the Moon’ Oreo fun!

18th September 2024Lucy Wood

6B had a great time using Oreos to create the different phases of the Moon. After doing research and creating their scripts in groups, the children organised their Oreo’s to create each phase. We then recorded their presentations ready for their final product at the Science Fair. They even got to eat them when we’d finished.

The sun in relation to the planets

12th September 2024Mr Schofield

5S have worked hard to conduct some research in books and online about the sun, it’s position in our solar system, and its importance to life on Earth.

They then presented their work to the class where we critiqued one another’s work to produce even better pieces in future – wonderful teamwork and compassion on display from all.

The planets of our solar system

10th September 2024Mr Schofield

This afternoon, we worked in groups to find out facts about the eight planets. Each group researched a planet, then shared their facts with the class. We used this to create a fact file of facts about all the planets in the solar system. Great team work!

Preparing to answer the guiding question.

15th July 2024Mr Schofield

3SG have been working hard to recall their learning from our summer term expedition, putting together notes on a poster that will help them to answer it in writing. We recalled our learning from the DT, History and Science case studies, supporting ourselves with some visual help ready to write up.

Solid, liquids or Gas?

9th July 2024Mrs Graves

We made our science learning active when we played a game of Solid, Liquid and Gas. On the call, children had to form a group to demonstrate what the particles of solids, liquids and gases look like – solid = tightly packed together; liquid = loosely connected; gas = not connected.

Who knew science could be such active fun!
