Wow!! Our Science week lesson was a really exciting today. The children had been challenged to think about Curious Chemistry. They started with milk, food colouring and washing up liquid to make the colours move and then they used skittles to create rainbows on their plates. It was a huge challenge to observe only with our eyes, but the results were amazing!

Year 4 kickstarted British Science Week with lots of curiosity as they explored the fizzy reaction between citric acid and bicarbonate of soda to make their own sherbet sweets. They tasted the ingredients and created their own recipe based on their taste preferences, before enjoying their sherbet by dipping in a lollipop. Yum!

Year 1 have come to the end of their Seasonal Changes topic this week, by investigating how clouds are made. They conducted an experiment with warm water and an ice cube to observe how water vapour cools and and forms the start of clouds.

In Science, Year 4 have kick-started their new science topic; States of matter. They explored the properties of solids, liquids, and gases by investigating balloons filled with ice, water, and air and discussed how each state of matter behaves differently.

Reception shared what they would take into space.

In Science last week, Year 1 continued their exploration of seasonal changes, focusing on Summer. We were very lucky as the sun came out in the afternoon and we were able to use the UV beads to show the strength of the sun in different areas of the playground. We discussed sun safety and what could happen if you look at the sun with your eyes.

Children in Year 4 learnt to classify faeces and identified that herbivore faeces is usually round, carnivore faeces is often long and pointy, and omnivore faeces is thick and rectangular in shape.

This afternoon the children in Year 1 have continued their exploration of seasonal changes - today's focus was Spring. The children watched images and videos and made 'notes' about what animals, weather and activities you might see in Spring before using that information to complete a task in their books.

The children in Reception have really enjoyed engaging in small world space adventures, using phrases like ‘5,4,3,2,1, lift off!!’ and ‘ Look out, look out the rocket ship is coming!’ They have also created their own stories, such as one child’s figure climbed the tower to be able to communicate with them.

The children have continued their work on Seasonal Change in science this week, with a focus of winter. The children considered what could be observed with the weather and temperature and what happens in these seasons. They then explored how ice and snow are formed. They created their own crystals and then made 'snow', which was great fun!

Year 1 have been busy investigating leaf colour this week, as part of their topic 'Changing Seasons'. The children collected leaves, made predictions about what colours there would be in them and then tested them using water. They then also explored how colour moves and changes using felt tip pens and water on filter paper.

We have been enjoying role play in our very own Space Station, using our imaginations as we explore Space.

This week's topic of Space has inspired lots of imaginative play during Continuous Provision.

Science and the seasons! ☀️❄️🌿🍂🌻 The children have been exploring their new topic about the changes of the seasons in science this week. Today, the children have been sorting clothes to match the weather and the seasons.

Year 1 have been classifying animals based on what they eat this week. They were able to identify herbivores, omnivores and carnivores.

In Year 1 science this week, the children were challenged to order sounds from loudest to quietest before considering how they might group different animals. The children worked collaboratively at first, as a whole class, before working with their partners to decide their own sorting criteria's.

Y5 have enjoyed researching and learning about levers, pulleys and gears in science today.

Year 4 showed fantastic curiosity in their very first Digestive System lesson where they explored the journey of food from the mouth to the intestines through a hands-on investigation.

In Science this week, Year 1 children have continued their topic on humans. This week, the children explored their senses and put this to the test in an investigation based on taste without smell!

In science the year 2 children have been looking around the school grounds for micro-habitats. We went into the forest school and looked under the logs. We found lots of different creepy crawlies. Some of the children were feeling brave enough to hold some of them.
