We are super Biologists!
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...
Sawing wood for our bug hotels
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.
Which solution will decay the apple first?
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...
Egg rolling 🥚
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...
Do woodlice prefer dry or wet conditions?
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...
Life Cycle of a frog 🐸
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,...
