Wildlife garden club has begun! We are so lucky to finally have some space to develop in order to grow our own flowers, fruits and vegetables.

We have a lot of work to do before we can start growing. We have made a start by filling some of the beds made by our teachers over the Summer.

We…

This week in science we have been looking at the human ear and investigating whether the size and shape of ears effect what we can hear.

We also looked at BSL and practiced signing our names and some useful phrases.

Here we signed we love science at St…

Class 10 have been testing out animal ears on the playground. Firstly, we made cones to represent differently sized animal ears.

We then took our animal ears and stood 2m, 5m and 10m away from our partner who made a noise to see which ear helped us to hear most clearly.

We then talked about…

Well done to class 17 for a wonderful presentation on geocentric and heliocentric theories about our solar system.

We investigated which sounds travel the furthest by testing high and low pitch sounds and recording it using data loggers.

We recorded the data in tables and compared our results as a class.

Class 13 have had lots of fun taking on the roles of scientists this week.

They have produced this video explaining how it took many scientists many years to prove that the solar system is heliocentric (sun at the centre) not geocentric (Earth at the centre) as first thought.

Take a…

Class 14 have been learning all about the history of how scientists have developed the idea of the world being flat, to what we know now, that the world is a sphere. 

Today we continued our learning about our bodies and discussed what is inside!

We had a look at pictures of our skeleton, our bones and some x-ray pictures too! The children then, using the drawing of Hannah from the previous lesson, label the body using the x-ray pictures of the bones! Class 1…

This week to carry on our learning of 'Who am I? Where do I belong?' we have been focusing on our bodies.

Today we draw around Hannah's body and then the children worked together to add the name labels for the different parts of the body, including elbow, toenail and ear!

The children then…

In science this week, year 6 have been looking at heliocentric and geocentric theories of the universe.

They became different scientists and told us through a story how views changed overtime.

Class 3 have been learning about the body and its senses. Today we explored the sense ‘taste’.

The children loved trying some of the different foods and drinks, others they were not too sure about.
