Year 4 Tooth Decay Investigation
Science was very interesting this week. Year 4 set up an experiment to test how different liquids affect our teeth, except that we used eggs to represent teeth. After a 5-day soak in either water, cola, black currant juice, orange juice, sports drink or vinegar, the egg shells were examined and cleaned with a toothbrush and toothpaste. The children then observed the changes to the eggs and drew conclusions about how certain liquids may affect our teeth.
Year 4 - Comparative Testing
Our super scientists have been planning a comparative test to find out which liquids cause the most damage to our teeth. The children gave very scientific predictions.
Year 2 - Designing fruit kebabs
Year 2 have been working really hard to design their own amazing fruit kebabs ready for the Christmas fair. Linking it with our healthy eating in science we have designed our own healthy fruit kebab.
Year 4 Investigating Teeth
In science, we have been examining our teeth this week. We now know the names of the different types of teeth and what their jobs are.
Year 4 - Science: Parts of the Digestive System
Year 4 have enjoyed a messy science session this week. We made our own model digestive system and used it to understand the functions of each organ.
Reception: Muddy Monday
Today, the children in Reception enjoyed looking for signs of Autumn at Jack Keys Reservoir. We enjoyed looking at the views to discuss the signs of Autumn. The children learnt the meaning of deciduous and evergreen trees and they were able to identify them.
Reception: All About Autumn
This week, the children are learning all about Autumn. They have been very busy in provision creating Autumn faces, hedgehogs and trees. They’ve also been counting different Autumn pictures and matching it to the correct numeral.
Year 3 Science: Nutrition Labels
This week in Science, Year 3 have been learning about the nutrition in the food we eat. We started by learning how to find and understand nutrition labels on our food. We then thought about which foods would be a healthy option, and which should be an occasional treat, based on the information provided on the food labels. The children were surprised that some food and drinks, such as fruit juices and cereals ,include a high amount of sugar and may not always be the healthiest choice.
Year 4 Identifying the organs in the digestive system
In our science lesson this week, Year 4 worked hard to identify the organs in the digestive system.
Reception- Cleaning Our Outdoor House
Today the reception children decided that our outdoor house in the yard needed to be cleaned. They used the brushes, pans and bowls to clean with. They worked as a team to decide which areas were dirty and needed to cleaned. This showed our Christian values of respect, friendship, trust and generosity.
Year 3 Science- Food groups
Year 3 have been looking at the different food groups in Science. They identified each food group and wrote about how each group help our bodies. We spoke about making good food choices to ensure our bodies are as healthy as possible.
Year 6 Science- Electricity
Before the half term holiday, year 6 built their own set of traffic lights. They needed to make sure that only one light lit up at a time. This meant creating a three-way switch out of a pin and a paper clip to light each LED individually.
