Reception: Winter
Today the children made the most of the snow and ice to help them to explore the signs of Winter. They found bird prints, explored ice melting, felt fresh snow and even threw snowballs at Mrs Wilkinson!
Winter walk in Whitehall Park
This morning the children have experienced a chilly muddy Monday as we looked for signs of winter. The children have all been touching frost on different surfaces. They have been looking at frozen leaves and have been talking about how the sun melts ice to make water. This morning it was brilliant to hear the children’s knowledge on deciduous and evergreen trees, as we walked underneath them.
Properties of Materials - Year 5
Year 5 have been exploring uses of materials in the school building. We compared and described objects and materials based on their properties, such as size, texture, weight, flexibility, transparency and magnetism.
Reception: Exploring our senses
During Reception’s muddy Monday walk, we explored the rose garden and herb garden at Whitehall park. The children really enjoyed smelling mint, chives and loved seeing Brussels sprouts, peas and strawberries to name a few.
Reception: Exploring Autumn
This week, Reception have been finding out all about Autumn. They have learnt all about what happens in Autumn and have learnt some new vocabulary too: deciduous and evergreen. Super learning!
Year 5 - Science
Year 5 have had a lot of fun in science today. We have learnt that when you mix bicarbonate soda and vinegar a new chemical called carbonic acid is made. This acid immediately decomposes into carbon dioxide.
Identifying faults in circuits
In year 6, we have learnt how to check connections of circuits. We have discussed about the flow of electricity and how it’s important to ensure that the flow of electricity can go from component to component.
Symbols of electricity
The children have been learning the symbols involved in circuits. They have understood the need for symbols so that everyone can understand the circuit.
Reception Owl Visit
The children in Reception had a very special visit this afternoon. They met 4 different owls. The children saw burrowing owls, a barn owl and a screech owl called Tyler, Midge, JD and Bobby. The children found their brave and held the owls. They also got to feel an owl feather and watch the owls fly. The children were so polite and well behaved during the visit. A big thank you to SMJ Falconry.
Classifying Animals in Year 1 Science
Year 1 have been learning about the different animal groups that there are and sorting animals to reflect their learning.
Super Scientists!
This term, Year 2 are learning all about living things and their habitats. This week, we have been thinking about the differences between living, non-living and never lived. We also learnt about the characteristics of living things with Mrs Gren!
Investigating rocks in Year 3!
Year 3 had lots of fun investigating different rocks in Science.
