In year three science, we’ve started learning about rocks. We used chocolate to make the three types of rock: sedimentary, igneous and metamorphic.

In science Year 1 have been investigating different materials and their properties. They were given the challenge of building a den that would fit Fred Frog in and be waterproof so that he didn’t get wet when it rained. The dens were amazing and all were waterproof!

Year 4 have been learning about what an electrical circuit is and how to create one. They have worked together to make a simple circuit then we introduced a switch and investigated the effect of closed and open circuits.

Look at the amazing patterns Year 4 have created through coding procedures and loops!

This half term the Year 6 children have been working with the Year 1 children on Vex programming. The children have been learning how to programme the Vex robot to move it to different positions.

In our science lesson today, year three learned about the dangers of uv rays from the sun on our eyes. We learned that uv rays are especially dangerous on children’s eyes whose eye lenses are more transparent and therefore let in more uv rays. We read that 70% of people in the world don’t wear s

We’ve been learning about movement through pneumatics and today, we worked in pairs to put our knowledge to the test by creating pneumatic hoists out of art straws, tubes and syringes.

In science Year 1 have been investigating materials. They looked at different materials and described their properties.

In year 3 maths today we worked in teams to create pentagons and then explored the properties of irregular and regular pentagons.

In year 3, we have started our new DT unit all about creating movement through pneumatics. We had such fun exploring with tubes, balloons and syringes.
