Ted had a problem! We used our scientific knowledge to predict what materials might be most suitable to make an umbrella out of so that he could stay dry in the rain. We knew that the material needed to be strong, lightweight and waterproof. We tested out materials...
We had a brilliant time walking around the school grounds identifying the different signs of Autumn beginning including finding leaves falling from deciduous trees.
We learned about what wind vanes were and what they do, and then created our own. We made sure to include the points of the compass on the wind vane to tell us the direction of the wind. We then took them outside to test them.
This is our question for our experiment. We decided to plant some cress seeds and investigate where is best for a seed to grow and look to see what would happen to the others. We planted the same seeds, in the same size pot with the same amount of soil. We will water...
Well we know all about chemistry and the types of jobs people work at in chemistry. We had a virtual workshop with two scientists working with chemistry at the heart of the jobs. The children came up with some fantastic questions and we have all broadened our horizons...
We enjoyed having a walk around our school and the grounds and identified the signs of Spring that we could see. We found leaves were growing on trees, flower were starting to grow and there was blossom on the trees.
We tasted different foods without being able to see them and guessed what the foods were. We then found out what they were and discussed whether they were salty, sweet, bitter, sour or umami. Some foods were tastier than others!
The children have been learning how to create branching databases in computing and they have spotted them in other subjects too like science when they have been identifying rocks.
The children were investigating how reflective the surface of materials were. They thought about the properties of those materials and what made them reflective. They recorded their observations on a table and were surprised with some of their results.
