Science

In Science this week, Year 1 have been learning about how the number of hours of daylight change in the different seasons. They created sunlight maps to help them recall and use their knowledge of this.

In Science this week, Year 4 explored melting by testing a range of materials including ice, chocolate, butter, jelly and candle wax. The children observed changes over time and learned that different materials melt at different temperatures.

Year 1 enjoyed their science based visit to the safari park this week. We were very lucky with the weather as many of the animals were out enjoying the sunshine! It was amazing to see penguins up close too as we have spent lots of learning time writing about them and understanding their adaptations.

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!
