F1 are enjoying watching our caterpillars getting bigger this week. They must be very hungry!
This week, Y4 have been designing and setting up a number of experiments to see how materials change over time. They have been looking at how different materials can melt, freeze, evaporate and condensate. They have made their predictions and have already gathered some results!
What will happen to the water in the uncovered glass? What will happen to ice cubes at room temperature? What will happen to ice in a fridge? Y4 are finding out!
Children also conducted a comparative test to see if the mass of an ice cube affects the time it takes to change state. Most correctly predicted the result!
Grace and Alisha predicted the ice cube with the greatest mass would take longer to become a liquid!
Year 2 have started a new Science Topic; ‘Living Things and Their Habitats.’ First of all we learned what a habitat was and then we looked at a Polar Habitat, River Habitat, Ocean Habitat and a Forest Habitat. After that we sorted animals into the correct habitats!
The children in F1 have been busy planting lots of different flowers and vegetables. Today we had a look at our plants and could see how much they had grown since we planted them last week. We are choosing a star grower of the week and our first star grower is Harlow! Well done Harlow! 🌱
F1 enjoyed exploring the school grounds and looking for signs of spring.
Vegetables and herbs, mud kitchen creations in FS2
Our first chick has hatched in F2 this afternoon. We heard it cheeping in the incubator. So we’ve called it Cheepy. We are very excited.
The Y4 Scientist set up an ‘egg-speriment’ to explore the effects of various drinks on teeth enamel. We made predictions and were surprised to learn, when we looked at the nutritional labels, that the orange and apple juice contained more sugar than the fizzy drinks!
Although it made our classroom a little smelly, we regularly examined the eggs to record and note the changes. We all agreed that brushing our teeth was essential when we saw these effects and concluded that the worst drink for our teeth was the fresh orange juice!
