The Land of Oak & Iron Heritage Centre, based in Winlaton Mill are running a new monthly Kids Discovery Club starting on Sunday, 6th June. There will be one session on the first Sunday of every month - making new discoveries while exploring the beautiful green...
This week we have been working as biologists to learn about poliination and fertilisation. We drew a diagram and labelled it to show the different parts of the process and included some great scientific words. Some of us even got to act out the process. We were all...
This afternoon, we started to make our bug hotels. We had to measure the pieces of wood and safely use the saw to cut them to the correct sizes. We then used special glue to fix them to the base. It wsa very tricky but we were so sensible.
Today, we took part in an experiment. We covered a piece of apple in a range of solutions (lemon juice, vinegar, sugar and salt) and we are going to observe the apple to see which solution decays the apple the most. We made predictions and we will conclude our...
What a fun afternoon we had rolling eggs down the hill. First the children decorated a boiled egg, then we all hopped like bunnies to the big hill. The children had an 'eggcellent' time rolling and throwing the eggs down the hill to see how far they would go. We then...
In today's science lesson, we took part in an experiment to find out whether woodlice prefer dry or wet conditions. We predicted that they would prefer wet conditions, as we found them underneath a wet log. We brought the woodlice back to the classroom and put them...
This week in Early Years, we have been learning all about the life cycle of a frog. We have looked through books and stories to see how frogs lay their eggs and how they eventually turn into a frog. We have learnt lots of new language including habitats, frog spawn,...
In 1.2M, we took advantage of the good weather and took Science outside to hunt for microhabitat and minibeasts in our very own playground. We used a tally chart to count up our different creatures in two microhabitats. We mapped out the playground to show where we...
In this afternoon's life skills lesson, we have been learning the importance of hand washing and when we have to wash our hands. We followed the germs from Ms Wood's hands around the classroom, through the use of post-it notes and we realised how far germs can travel...
