Who killed Mrs Bushell?

Year 5 & 6 were set a Cluedo inspired challenge to work out the details of a murder. They used mirrors and torches to track down clues hidden around the class and used reflections in order to solve the mystery.

Sound Scientific Thinking in Year 3

We have continued our work on Sound by designing, carrying out and evaluating an investigation to explore the question, “Does a sound get fainter as you move further away? ” We used measuring skills with a metre tape and a datalogger to carry out our investigation before evaluating the results and discussing no how we […]

The Brilliance of Bioluminescence in Years 5 and 6

As part of our science topic on Light, Years 5 and 6 have been learning all about bioluminescent creatures. The writing focus was on formality and the children worked hard to develop a chatty, informal tone throughout their non-fiction reports. They then presented their writing as an eye-catching poster.

Periscopes and Kaleidoscopes in Years 5 and 6

As part of our Science topic of Light, Years 5 and 6 have made periscopes and kaleidoscopes. They followed instructions carefully and then had fun experimenting with them! They used their scientific skills of observation to explain how they work.

The Artistry of Sound

Year 3 have been leaning about sound. We know that it travels in waves and that the height and shape of the wave tells us whether it is loud or quiet and low or high-pitched. We used our knowledge to produce some vibrant artwork showing different sound patterns.

Zoolab Visit to Year 2

We thoroughly enjoyed the visit from Zoolab today and learnt lots about the animals, their adaptations and habitats. The children were very brave and even held some of the animals.

Animal Design Challenge Year 1 and 2

In KS1 we have started learning about habitats and why animals are suited to living in certain places. We then joined together to design animals for a given habitat. The brief was to give them a name and give three reasons why they were suited to that habitat. Some great collaboration and creativity was shown […]

Lego Robotics Coding in Year 3

What a fantastic start to the week! Samia has been in Year 3, delighting the children with visions of a robotic-led future and encouraging the children to get hands-on with Lego robots. We have made an energy-saving fan with flashing lights and sounds and can’t wait for our session next week.
