Year 6 Science
Year 6 have been looking at the role of the three types of blood vessel and also how a blood clot can affect blood flow. We created a model to represent the blood vessels and noticed that even when the diameter is only a millimetre different, it can have a dramatic affect on how quick the blood flows.
Year 1- Signs of spring
Yesterday we walked to Whitehall park to look out for some signs of spring. In science we looked at the changes between winter and spring. Our walk also linked in with our R.E lesson (Easter unit) as we were looking for signs of new life.
Year 3 Science- How are fossils formed?
Year 3 have been learning all about how fossils are made. We carried out an exciting experiment where the class made their own imprints, recreating the process of fossil formation.
Reception - Understanding Of The World - Material Hunt
This week we have explored different materials. We have looked at different types of materials including plastic, metal, wood, glass, rubber, brick, stone, fabric and wool. We then went on a material hunt to identify different materials around our classroom and school! The children really enjoyed finding all of the different materials in our environment
Reception: Muddy Monday
Today the children explored the changes of weather and different areas of Whitehall park. The children commented on how the weather can be sunny, cloudy, rainy, foggy and windy. The children explored the waterfall and other forest schools sections. They showed the Christian value of courage as we had to walk up a steep hill and walked a long way around the park.
Reception - Understanding Of The World
This week, we have looked at floating and sinking. To start, we discussed what we already knew. We then gathered a range of items and investigated if they would float or sink. We made predictions about what would happen, and named some of the materials the items were made out of. We really enjoyed putting the items into the water to check if they would float or sink.
Year 2 - Building bridges
In science, we have been looking at the use of everyday materials. We looked at what makes a strong and sturdy bridge. We took a trip to a local bridge to investigate the material used. We then used the materials we could find to make a bridge of our own. We explored: strength, support, structure and how big a bridge can be.
Year 4 - Science: Conservation
From deforestation to water pollution, Year 4 have studied many ways to protect our planet. Here are some of our conservation posters.
Year 1- Does it sink or float?
In science we looked at objects that sink or float. We went to Jack’s Key to test some objects in the river. We collected sticks, leaves and stones on our way and tested them to see if they sank or floated. We also took a apple, a orange, a coin and some bread from school.
Year 4 - Investigating Air Pollution
Our super scientists have been making predictions about air pollution levels in different areas in our locality. We then pasted Vaseline to card and left them in these areas to see which collected the most pollutants from the air.
Reception- Junk Modelling
The children have had a great time this week bringing their creativity to life in the creative area. They have made various models using junk modelling from cars and aeroplanes to hats and cupcakes. They have used amazing imagination and developed lots of fine motor and creativity skills along the way.
Year 1 - Material hunt
Following on from learning about materials we’ve been on a walk to find some materials out and about in our local area.
