We had a very important job to do this week... keep ice frozen for as long as possible! We tested different insulators to see which was the best at maintaining the temperature. We found that shredded paper was the best insulator.
4B have been exploring living things and their habitats. We wanted to find out what invertebrates we could find living around the school grounds. We decided to keep a tally of what we found.
As part of year 5 science this afternoon, we were testing the air resistance on different objects. We made four different sized parachutes, using paper, string, masking tape and paperclips: small, medium, large and extra large. We talked about the importance of...
Last week, 2S enjoyed looking at different objects and finding out which materials they were made from. This week we played a game of 'What's in the Magic Bag?' and children took it in turns to choose an object and describe it to the rest of the class. This helped us...
We have loved seeing the water cycle in action- when the sun shone on the sea, we saw evaporation and then we saw precipitation from the clouds, which fell into the rivers and streams, which flowed into the sea and then the whole cycle started all over again. It was...
In science today, we have been sorting materials based on their properties. We discovered that there are lots of different ways we can classify objects. Our favourite word of the day was 'malleable' which means something can be shaped.
This afternoon, in year 5 and 6 science, we started exploring different forces, recognising forces as pushes and pulls. We were investigating the effect of gravity. As part of this, we took part in an experiment. We pierced a hole in the bottom of a plastic cup and...
In science, we wanted to work scientifically, so today we started our observation over time and set to recording how many invertebrates they could find on a September sunny day. The children decided to make a tally chart to record their findings. They left no log or...
