This week in Science Club we have tried to make water ‘walk’ into an empty cup.  We have been investigating absorbent materials and which material absorbs water the best.  We decided that kitchen roll was the best material to absorb the coloured water.  

This week in science year 3 have been investigating if magnets have different strengths.

In Reception we have been conducting some science experiments. First, we used different liquids to test which would clean coins the best. We each made a prediction and were surprised to find out that lemon juice was the best coin cleaner. We traced coins, designed our own coins and wrote down our…

In year 5 we have been practising glockenspiels playing along to Adele’s cover of ‘make you feel my love’. We have also been investigating the bounciness of different balls and designing our own experiments and working on improving accuracy.

This week in Science we have had lots of fun exploring ways to clean a penny.  Mr Perfect was very cross that all his money was dirty. We made predictions about which liquid would clean the best and carried out our own investigation. We were surprised to find  the Lemon juice was the best at…

In Science Club, we made rainbow explosions using vinegar, bicarbonate of soda and food colouring.  We found it really exciting when the bicarbonate of soda and the vinegar mixed together - the mixture started to fizz! 

In Year 5 we have done some Science at home by studying the moon phases.

We have also been learning lots of new gymnastics moves.

In science this week we discussed evaporation. We then designed an investigation to find out if heat can speed up the evaporation process. We found out that heat and wind can speed up the evaporation process.

Class 21 have been learning about extreme reactions and if they are necessary.

We were given examples of everyday occurrences and between ourselves decided on extreme reactions and if they were reasonable.

In Year 4 we have been investigating what happens when solids are exposed to heat.. we found that chocolate, butter and ice melts when exposed to heat.

Today, year 4 observed what happens when we melt things. We drew pictures of chocolate, ice and butter and compared them as solids, to when they melted. 

Year 6 have had a very productive week. In Science, children enjoyed creating their own blood soup and investigating the different properties of blood. In Art, children are working hard on their own wartime landscapes. In PE, children are developing their basketball skills in game situations!
