Our first School visit – Jesmond Dene
Oobleck- solid or liquid?
The children were characterising solids and liquids today but there were definitely ones that stumped them. They just didn’t fit the regular patterns.
Monitoring the wind
We have been learning all about the wind and how it is measured using the Beaufort Scale. We made our own wind socks to see the direction of the wind.
What is wind?
Today we made wind socks to help us figure out which direction the wind was coming from. We discussed what wind is and when wind can be useful - did you know that wind energy can be used to generate electricity?! Over the coming weeks we will be observing if there are...
Bye bye butterflies. Fly high
Reception and Nursery have cared and nurtured butterflies since they were caterpillars. We have watched them change and grow discussing the life cycle as we observed it happening. We have now set them free into the world.
How can you measure rainfall?
Today we created our own rain cloud which helped us to learn about the water cycle and where rain comes from. We then discussed how we could measure rainfall and decided to make our own class rain gauges. We will be using our rain gauges to collect and record data...
Are bigger magnets stronger than smaller ones?
We have been working scientifically again today. We have been predicting, asking questions, setting up tests, observing, measuring , recording data and evaluating that data. We are wiped out with all our hard science work.
