In Year 4, we have been exploring different circuits and making our own. We have been investigating materials that are insulators and those that are electrical conductors.

We have been looking at everyday materials and sorting them in different ways. We discussed their material name and their properties. 

Today, we were learning about our circulatory system - how the blood moves around our bodies, providing our muscles with oxygen from our lungs. As part of our learning, we looked at some lambs' hearts to investigate how the vessels are linked inside.

We enjoyed a walk in the garden looking at all the different leaves and berries.

Can you fit 5 people through an A4 piece of paper? If you think the answer is no, then talk to some Year 6 children who now know better! This is because we were visited today by Dr Irene Wise from Lancaster University who talked to us about  STEM skills (Science, Technology, Engineering and…

This week, Year 5 went to Lune aqueduct. We learnt more about its history and also went pond dipping. We finished the trip with a McFlurry (a highlight for some of us!).

Nursery went on a coach to South lakes zoo for the day. We saw lots of animals and enjoyed playing on the park. 

We have carried out a variety of investigations to understand and learn more about friction.

In Y4, we have been learning all about 'Electricity'. We have looked at insulators and conductors and have made circuits with buzzers, bulbs and motors. The children really enjoyed making different types of switches. 

On Friday 28th September, Jackie, Tom and Sophie from Science Hunters at Lancaster University came to lead science workshops with Years 5 and 6 about pollination.  We were all very excited as we were learning through "playing" Minecraft! First of all we learnt about the life-cycle of  plants and…

We had a super day at Leighton Moss Nature Reserve. We completed an orienteering course around the reserve to find out about the wildlife that live there. We made our own food chains and also searched for mini beasts. 

Year 3 had a fabulous time at Leighton Moss.  We learnt a lot about soil as part of our science topic and also spent time learning more about the beautiful range of birds found in our local woodlands.
