Sundials in Year 5

In Science we have been learning about Space! During the last two weeks, we have looked at the movement of the sun and how this can be useful to us. We made our very own sundials and then placed them on the playground and looked at how the shadow changed throughout the day and what […]

Minibeast Hunt in Nursery

The Nursery children had a lovely time in the Eco-garden looking for minibeasts, enjoying the shade of the trees on the sunny afternoon!

Science in Year 6

This week in Year 6 we have been learning about the transport of nutrients within the body in our Science lessons. We measured out the length of the small intestine and couldn’t believe it was seven metres long in an adult’s body! We also drew comic strips to show how nutrients are absorbed for energy. 

This Week in Year 4

Year 4 have continued to enjoy Herefordshire Crickets- Chance to Shine programme this week. We have been working on our bowling and batting skills. Alongside we are investigating how different glues work in preparation for making paper sculptures.  A very sticky end to the week. 

Magnetism in Year 4

In Year 4 this week we have been investigating magnetism. We made predictions about what in our classroom was magnetic or non-magnetic and then we tested lots of objects. We were surprised at first about how many metallic objects were not magnetic but we soon worked out that not all of them are magnetic because […]

Science Experiments in Year 2

Year 2 have been testing the suitability of materials. Our experiment was to see which material would bounce the most and why. We found the bouncy ball to be the bounciest as it’s made from rubber which is a strong, stable but squashable material.

Plantasia in Year 5

As part of our Rainforest topic, Year 5 went to visit a place in Swansea called Plantasia. This involved stepping in to a makeshift rainforest and being able to feel what it would be like to actually be in one. The children (and adults) also got to see and hold some rainforest animals, which was […]

Investigating Heart Rate in Year 6

This week in Year 6, the children have worked in small groups to plan and carry out their own investigations to find out the effect of exercise on our heart rate. Every group chose something different to investigate – an example of one was ‘Will your heart beat faster if you run around the playground […]

Western Power Distribution

Today Years 4,5 and 6 has a very interesting and informative visit from Honey from Western Power Distribution. She taught the children all about electricity, including the dangers surrounding electricity and what you can do if you spot something outside that might be an electrical hazard. We all had a go at spotting different hazards […]

British Science Week in Year 2

Year 2 have been studying the naturalist Steve Backshall for Science week and have learnt all about how sharks are measured. We made our own graphs to see whether there was a correlation between our length and age. We completed a salt experiment and have made our very own crystals.  We have finished the week […]
