This afternoon, Year 3 were finding out what was in soil. We filled a bottle with a soil sample and water and shook it. We then made observations of what we could see. We will check again next week to see if it has changed.

In Y4, we have been carrying out an investigation to see what happens to different solids when they are mixed with water. We used salt, sugar, coffee, rice and baking powder. Some solids dissolved and made a ‘solution’. We tried to recover the original solid by filtering them. We had lots of fun…

Ladybirds are looking for somewhere warm to spend the winter.

We designed our fruit salads after discussing which healthy foods we should eat and why. We enjoyed chopping up our chosen fruits and trying fruits that we had never tried before! After tasting our fruit salad, using one of the five sense, we evaluated it. Some children had never tried plum…

Continuing to explore our senses, today we investigated our sense of smell. We predicted what we thought the smell was and then we revealed the actual. It was good fun predicting ! 

We had fun watching the Tooth Defenders and learning how important it is to brush our teeth. Then we practiced brushing our teeth making sure we remembered every part of our mouths. 

We had lots of fun collecting different objects we found around the school grounds. We then sorted them in lots of different ways. 

Today in Science we have been investigating how to make the perfect string telephone. 

We used different sized cups, made from different materials and then tested wool, string and thread in different lengths and thicknesses. 

In pairs, we decided which of our string telephones was the best…

This week we have been using our senses to explore. We smelled different scents with our noses. The Parmesan cheese was not very popular! 
Today we have used our sense of touch to explore , using our feet. The children gathered toys from inside and outside. Ivy told us the sand felt smooth and…
