Year 6 really enjoyed looking at the different taxonomy of animals in todays lesson. They were also able to show characteristics of different classes of animals to show how they are grouped together due to the mass biodiversity that occurs on our planet.
After the chicks went back to ‘Grandad Chicken’ on the farm, I didn’t think that we could beat the experience for the children. However, our tadpoles are just as popular and the children have become experts on the lifecycle of frogs! Great work everyone.
We sadly had to say goodbye to the chicks last week.
Grandad Chicken came to pick them up and take them to his farm.

The children have had a lovely afternoon thinking all about frogs – click the link below to see what they got up to.
This week in science we had great fun in the sun.
Year 1 have been learning about plants.
We discovered there are lots of parts to a plant and each part has a very important job.
This week we looked at wild plants and the difference between these and garden plants.
We identified lots of wild plants that we already knew such as dandelions and daisies.
Did you know that brambles have a white flower on them?
We enjoyed going around the school and looking for all the new wild plants we can now name.
We found some nettles in our wood and some buttercups on our field.
We also know how important these plants are to the insects and bugs that live in our world!
We have been learning about microhabitats in Science this week. After finding out what a microhabitat was, we went into the school grounds to look for living things.
We used magnifying glasses and our IPADs then drew what we had found in our books.
To introduce our Year 3’s to their new Science topic on rocks, we explored an array of rocks and used a classification flow chart to try to determine what they were.
F1 are enjoying watching our caterpillars getting bigger this week. They must be very hungry!
