Year 4 (Class 11) - Science - Sound
Class 11’s science topic this half term is sound.
We thought about which areas of school would be the loudest and which would be the quietist. We made a list and went round school using the data loggers to find out the decibel reading.
We found the playground was the loudest and office was…

Year 5 (Class 13) - Science - Earth & Space
This week class 13 have started their new science topic, Earth & Space.
We investigated how we know the Earth is spherical. We took our learning outside the classroom to look for evidence for this. The children loved learning outside the classroom and being mini scientists.
Back inside the…

Year 4 (Class 11 & Class 12) - Science - Forces
Year 4 went to Armley Park to see forces in action.
They saw the push and pull off the swing and how gravity makes them come down.
They also noticed the friction involved in a slide and how adding water reduces the friction making you go faster.

Year 3 - Science - Forces
Today we investigated forces in action at our local playground.
We talked about pushes and pulls, things that made us go faster or slow down, friction, gravity and air resistance...and we had lots of fun!

We know what carnivores, herbivores and omnivores eat. Today we looked at 'animal poo' and tried to guess whether the poo was from a carnivore, herbivore or omnivore by looking closely to see what we could find in the poo.
We noticed that the…
