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...
As part of our learning about 'The Princess and the Pea', Mr Boddy kindly brought us in some pea seeds to plant in class. We soaked some of the pea seeds in water and we kept some of the pea seeds dry. We have planted both the wet and dry seeds in wet paper towels in...
This morning, we were lucky enough to have a virtual meeting with Delia from the Cornish Plastic Pollution Coalition to talk to us all about plastic pollution, the damaging effects of it and what we can do to help. It was very informative and we loved meeting her toy...
Today we had a talk with Delia Webb from the Cornish Plastic Pollution Coalition who talked to us all about plastic pollution along our coasts and seas. The children shared their stories of how they have tried to improve our environments in Rowlands Gill and asked...
We have had fun exploring the desert, ocean, Arctic and the rainforest habitats and looking at which animals live where. We completed a sorting activity and we had to think very carefully about the animals' adaptations and how they were suited to their habitat.
