Year 2 (Class 5) - Science - Living Things
Year 2 have started their new topic 'Living things and their habitats' in Science.
We went on a hunt around the playground looking for things that are living, used to be alive and never been alive.
Year 3 (Class 8) - Science - Data Loggers
Today in science we used data loggers to test how reflective different materials are.
We worked in groups to make predictions and carefully test each material.
After analysing our results we used what we had learned to design book bags with reflective strips.
Year 5 (Class 12) - Science - Materials
This week in science the children have performed presentations on 4 scientist that influenced the world in the field of materials.
Year 6 (Class 16) - Science - Materials
This week, we started our topic about properties of materials.
The children first had a go at feeling different items in bags, and they tried to decipher what the items were based on their properties.
Then, we categorised properties and definitions, and finally the children conducted an…

Year 3 (Class 8) - Science - Fossils
This week we looked at how fossils are formed. We matched up pictures of dinosaurs and fossils that have been found.
We used our observation and oracy skills to give reasons why we thought the fossils matched the pictures.
Year 5 (Class 12) - Science - Forces and Friction
Class 12 have been studying friction with a variety of different carpets and toy cars.
The class experimented by pushing toy cars with equal force on vinyl, ribbed carpet and underlay to determine which carpet has the least friction and therefore which one is the most suitable for a nursery…
Year 6 (Class 16) - Science - Water Resistance
This week, Class 16 were testing water resistance. In groups, the children made 2 different objects out of play dough - one which they thought would have more water resistance and one which they thought would have less water resistance against it.
We used stop watches to time their results.…
Year 3 (Class 8) - Science - Yorkshire Coal Mining Museum Trip
Today we went to the Yorkshire coal mining museum to learn more about our science topic on rocks.
We learnt about how coal was made as well as mudstone, sandstone, limestone and ironstone and what life was like for miners years ago.
We also learnt that children the same age as us worked…
Year 1 (Class 4) - Science - Senses
Class 4 have been learning about senses this term. We practised using our noses to smell different things and talk about if we liked each smell.
Year 4 (Class 11) - Science - Conductors and Insulators
Today, as part of our electricity topic we investigated conductors and insulators.
We tested objects in a circuit to see if they conducted electricity. If the bulb lit up the material was a conductor.
We talked about how materials that are insulators are very important to keep us…
Year 4 (Class 10) - Science - Conductors or Insulators
Well done to class 10 who tested different objects to find out if they were conductors or insulators.
