Solids, Liquids and Gases
Today the children have started their new topic of properties of materials, starting at the very beginning of this we have investigated the differences between solids, liquids and gases right down to their particles.
Earth and Space
In our Science lesson this week, we have been modelling the movement of the Earth, Sun and Moon. We then made a model and wrote a short explanation in our books.
Hedgehogs!
We used the leaves we collected last week to use for spikes on our clay hedgehogs. We knew lots of facts about hedgehogs because we had been learning about them in our English lessons. Ms Barker was very impressed by our knowledge!
Other activities this week included bug hunting and mud…
The Solar System
In Science we are learning about the Solar System. This week we created a 'Pocket Solar System' to take home and share with our families. We learnt the names of each planet and how far away they are from the sun.
Skittles in Science
As part of our topic learning about the circulatory system, Year 6 used skittles and water to investigate how nutrients pass into our bloodstream from our digestive organs.
Healthy hearts
Sharks creating model hearts using a plastic cup, balloon and water with red food colouring. Our favourite part was when the blood splurged out of the blood vessels (straws!)
Investigating Roots
Today Year 3 have been investigating roots, they have started an experiment where they will watch the roots of a carrot grow over time.
Exploring Parts of the Plant
Jellyfish and turtles explored our garden spotting key parts of the plants.
Sporty science
Year 6 investigated the impact of exercise upon our heart rates.
Brilliant Blood!
Over the last two weeks, we have learned all about the circulatory system and what it is made up of: blood, blood vessels and the heart. In today’s science lesson, we learned more about the three different blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) and what our blood is made up of! Did you…
Plants
This week in science we have started our new topic Plants. We looked at what plants need to survive and grow. We then conducted an experiment where we planted seeds, some have a lack of space to grow, lack of air or lack of light and we will continue to observe how they grow.
Our new members
Ducklings have had a very exciting week this week! We welcomed 5 new members to our class - Colin, Kelly, Kim, Benjamin and Betty our real life caterpillars! We can't wait to watch them grow, change and experience the life cycle of a caterpillar first hand!
