Science
Some of our children have been observing caterpillars in school for the last couple of weeks and were very surprised one morning this week when beautiful butterflies hatched from their cocoons!
Year 2 – Science
This week, Year 2 explored the wildlife garden to observe the signs of spring. We noticed flowers blooming and leaves growing as the weather is getting warmer. We used our senses to explore the seasonal changes from winter to now and it is definitely looking much greener and lighter outside! Afterwards, we created spring pictures using natural materials like leaves, twigs and petals.
Reception – Science
This week in Reception, the children planted sunflower seeds and are excited to watch them grow on our windowsill, learning they need soil, water and sunlight to stay healthy. We’ve also welcomed some tiny caterpillars after reading “Mad About Minibeasts” by Giles Andreae, and can’t wait to care for them as they grow into beautiful butterflies.
Science
Some of the children have been busy enjoying the lovely weather this week and planting their own sunflower seeds. We are excited to see them grow over the next few weeks!
Year 4 – Science
Larch class enjoyed experimenting with magnets, testing a range of everyday materials to see which were magnetic. They made predictions and were excited to discover that not all metals are attracted to magnets. The activity helped develop their scientific thinking and enquiry skills.
Year 1 – Science
Today we have been learning about trees. As tree detectives, we went outside to identify the branches, leaves, trunks, roots and blossom.
Year 2 – Science
Maple class enjoyed their sound hunt in science last week. We had to go to different areas around school and record all the different sounds that we heard. There were so many different sounds all around the school! #Science #SoundHunt
Year 6 – Science
Year 6 had fun investigating how hard it was to pick up different sweets with different instruments linked to Darwin’s theory of evolution and finches. Most of our results showed that the large sweets (seeds) were easier to pick up with the cooking tongs and the small sweets were easier with tweezers!
Year 2 – Science
Year 2 have been learning about how things move in Science. We made our own boats with sails and then transported them from ‘land’ to ‘sea’ to see how a transporter would work. #Science #Dimensions
