Year 3 Vegetable garden

Thanks to the Fete Committee and Mr Lee the year 3 children have a wonderful flower and vegetable garden in front of the New Block. We  are also grateful to Mr Hall (Nicholas 3KW) for coming to help us fill up the planters and then to build us a natural hazel wigwam for our runner beans and tomatoes. We have also planted carrots (just coming through), lettuce (this looks like cress Mrs Wade), cabbage and cucumbers (feel the frost has got these). We will watch these plants grow over the summer term and hopefully be able to take some of our produce read the full post »

Woodland Science Year 3

Again suitably dressed for the weather with old trousers and welly boots Year 3 ventured out into the woods for an hour of investigation. Each pair of children had a 1m length of string. They lay (knelt)on the woodland floor and positioned themselves close to a minibeast. The children  followed the string with their magnifying glass, examining in close detail the journey from a mini beast’s point of view. They were encouraged  to think about what the mini beast would have to walk on to get from one end of the string to the other. What would it see? Could they count how read the full post »

Woodland Science Year 2

Mrs Wade and Mr Barlow had a wonderful time with the Year 2 children at the start of Science Day. All suitably togged in wet weather gear and wellies we set off for the woods.All thechildren had a good rummage around on the woodland floor, for example under leaves, logs, stones and inside bark crevices on trees, to see what mini beasts they could find. They then examined them with magnifying glasses. In small groups children chose a mini beast and created a sculpture from natural materials, taking note of the number of legs, body segments antennae etc. Some gave read the full post »

We’ve had a bright idea!

Year 4 have just started learning about electricity in Science. This week we looked at creating circuits and predicting which circuits would light the bulb up and which circuits wouldn’t. We have had lots of fun and built some amazing circuits with numerous bulbs and batteries.

Year 4 Making Ice Cream!

This term Year 4 have been studying Solids, Liquids and Gasses. We have had great fun doing our experiments each week. This week to consolodate our learning we had a go at making our own ice cream. This was a great success and tasted delicious!! Well done to all Year 4 for all their hard work in science this half term! Miss H Cook

Shadows

Year 3 are studying light and shadow in Science this term. We drew around our shadows, outside on the playground, in the morning and then were amazed that the shadow was not in the same place at break time and have moved again at lunchtime – next week we hope to find out why this is. We also discovered that the shadows were different lengths at different times of the day. We hope to answer this question as well. We will keep you updated on what we find out!
