This week we concluded our science unit, ‘animals including humans - our amazing bodies’, by learning about nutrition and food groups. 

We used identifying and classifying to sort the foods into the different food groups. We discussed what nutrition each group provides the body and how they…

This week in science we have been researching endangered animals. 

We worked in pairs to find out about their habitats, what changes have made them endangered and what we can do to stop them becoming extinct. 

We then used our oracy skills to present the information to the rest of the class,…

This week in science the children used a traverse to share and summarise facts about changes that happen in old age.

Nursery children have been excited exploring our school's garden. We looked for different plants, herbs and vegetables.

We also used magnifying glasses to look for tiny insects hiding under logs, in plants and in the bug hotel.

Well done to this pupil in class 3 for growing their own vegetables at home!

Today we investigated whether people with longer femurs could jump further. We made predictions, measured the femurs of everyone in our groups and then measured how far we could jump. 

We made sure that we all jumped from the same spot and did the same kind of jump. 

We found that some of…

Class 11 went on a bug hunt and was identifying our school garden.

Today in Science class 11 worked together to create their own questions for a key to sort living things based on their characteristics.

Class 6 took part in a workshop about climate change.

They learnt about where oxygen comes from and how it is getting used up as more people came on the planet and factories and the modern world took over. They also learnt how sunlight can get trapped in the carbon dioxide warming the planet,…

Last week Xana from Grow to School came into year 3. We started off in class designing and making parachutes for eggs.  

We went outside to test them and had some brilliant designs that worked well to protect our eggs. 

We then went into our wildlife garden to harvest some of our lettuce we…

This week in science class 8 have started a new topic all about our bodies. 

To start with we talked about what we already know and labelled an outline of a human body with where we think internal organs are. 

We then wrote down questions we would like to find out the answer to.

This week, Class 16 researched different life cycles. 

These included ducks, frogs, mammals and fish. 

Children then presented their research to the rest of the class, and we summarised the information, thinking about the listening ladder and the physical strand of our oracy framework.
