We've been having a great time in our Science lessons this week making muscles! We used our understanding of how muscles work in pairs in the arm to make working arms! It was a lot of hard work to get them right but our explanations of how they work were brilliant. ...

Investigating our shadows.
In today's science lesson, we have been investigating the hours of daylight in autumn and winter. We created a pictogram and we found out that December and January have the least amount of daylight. We finished our science lesson by investigating our shadows in the...
Investigating daylength in autumn
We did some investigating over the week. I set the challenge for the children that they needed to put their teddies to bed when the sun set. They took photos every night and recorded the time. The children then did some pattern spotting and noticed what was changing.
It’s raining it’s pouring…
Today, we have been making rain gauges in science. We used our measuring skills from our maths lessons last half term to create a scale. Next, we will be writing a set of instructions to tell other children how they can make rain gauges too.
How much rainfall falls in Rowlands Gill in autumn?
Yesterday the children set to work trying to answer our question about rainfall so we set to work making rain gauges. The children worked in a team to measure 100ml marking on the water bottles so we can measure how much rain falls. They all worked really well as a...
Outside art- dragon’s eyes using autumn leaves.
As part of our art topic (looking at dragon's eyes) and our science topic (looking at seasonal changes from autumn to winter), we spent our lesson this afternoon outside, creating dragon's eyes using the different colours of autumn leaves. What do you think?
Autumn Vibes
In science this afternoon we were looking at evergreen and deciduous trees. We made use of some fallen leaves we found on the yard to make some autumn art work. How many animals can you spot?
Deciduous or Evergreen?
We've had a hunt this afternoon for deciduous and evergreen trees. We looked on the floor for the leaves that had fallen from the deciduous trees and used these to help us to find the trees. We created a tally chart and a pictogram of our findings.
Autumn Leaf Animals
This afternoon, we went out into the field to look for certain autumn leaves, then brought them back into class to make animals out of the autumn leaves we found.
Autumn Leaf Hunt!
Today, we went on a hunt for Autumn leaves, as tomorrow we are going to be creating some Autumn-themed candle holders, using jam jars, leaves, tissue paper and PVA glue. The colours we found were so impressive- there were lots of orange, red, yellow and brown leaves....
