Which liquid will damage our teeth the most?
Did you know that an egg shell has a similar make up to the enamel on our teeth? We have set up an investigation using eggs to see which liquid will damage the shell the most. Each group could choose which liquid they put their eggs into such as coke, orange juice, water, vinegar, tea or coffee.…

Turning a nursery rhyme into a play
Over the last few weeks we have been reading and writing plays. We have looked at the story of ‘Robin Hood and the Chocolate Cake’ and turned it into a play script. Today, we have looked at some familiar nursery rhymes and have acted them out in groups.

Investigating water resistance
We have discussed the shapes of fish and boats. We moulded plastercine into different shapes to see which travelled the fastest through water. Then we used words such as ‘streamline’, ‘water resistance’ and ‘contact forces’ to explain what was happening. The cone was the…

Parachute investigation
Today, we have been learning about air resistance. We made parachutes that were different sizes and dropped them from the same height to see whether the surface area created more air resistance. We found out that the larger the canopy, the slower they fell to the ground. We also found out from…

World Book Day reading with Year 4 and Year 1
Year 4 really enjoyed meeting up with Year 1 to read to each other for World Book Day. We shared our stories and watch The Masked Readers sent in from each class. What a lovely time we had together!

Learning about Gravity
Today, we have started our unit on ‘Forces’. We have been learning about gravity and the link between mass and weight. We measured the mass of each object and then used the Newton meter to measure the amount of force acting on it.

World Book Day with Year 4
Year 4 dressed up today in a selection of amazing costumes for World Book Day.
Can you recognise any book characters that we have dressed up as?

Making switches
Today, we have been investigating how switches work and why they are so important. We had a go at making our own switches using the knowledge from last week that metals are conductors of electricity.

Conductors and Insulators
We have been learning lots of new vocabulary linked to our topic on ‘Electricity’. Today, we investigated which materials are electrical conductors and which are insulators. We found out that metals are conductors.

Complete and incomplete circuits
Today, we have been testing different circuits to see if they would work. We predicted the outcome first before we tested them.
