Church of England Primary School
Before we head off to secondary school and science becomes more about Bunsen burners and field trips, we have been talking a lot about what it means to be a good scientist. From creating hypotheses and planning fair tests to displaying results and sporting patterns, we are thinking and working like scientists. Today’s hypothesis to […]
Read More Year 6 ScienceYear 2 scientists are carrying out an experiment on cress seeds this week. They are combining their learning and knowledge of working scientifically, conducting a fair test and volume/measurement (which we are looking at in maths this week) to test how seeds grow if given different volumes of water. The children know that other variables […]
Read More Year 2 science: carrying out an experiment.This term year 2 scientists will be further developing a wide range of scientific skills including identifying and observing, carrying out experiments and fair tests, data collection, research and noticing patterns in findings. Today Year 2 were able to draw upon their sound knowledge of the characteristics of living things to identify and observe details […]
Read More Year 2 Science: identifying living and non-living thingsYear 4 had a fantastic trip to Creekside Discovery Centre last Tuesday, on a glorious, sunny day. We spent some time in the classroom, learning about the history of Deptford Creek and showing off our Geography knowledge (cue a VERY proud teacher) before donning our waders and waterproofs and getting into the creek itself. We […]

Read More Reception – honey tasting!Years 5 and 6 have been learning about DNA. DNA is the recipe for a living thing. It determines what we look like from eye colour to height to allergies but it’s so small that we can’t see it without a microscope… unless it’s strawberry DNA and you’re in UKS2! Carefully following instructions, we mixed […]
Read More UKS2 ScienceSo as you know we have been learning about fertilisation in plants, so of course we wanted to know more and learn all about bees! Here is a GREAT demonstration of how bees create honey! Enjoy! Despite the great demonstration some of you may be wondering what exactly is going on. Reception will be able […]
Read More Reception – ScienceToday we learnt about fertilisation! We looked at the stages of growth in flowers but in dandelions in particular. Watch our video to find out what fertilisation is! We will be continuing to be learning about plants and trees at school, but would love you to tell us what your favourite flower is! We would […]
