Class 1 have enjoyed reading the story of The Gingerbread Man. We felt sorry for The Gingerbread Man who got gobbled up by the sly fox. So much so that we've explored building bridges for him over the river and also made boats. We also wondered what would happen if the Gingerbread Man had tried to…

This week we have been creating shadows! We had lots of fun on Tuesday, drawing around each other's shadows and creating hand shadows using torches. Can you work out whose shadow is who?

Mirrors and Reflections

Today, in Science, we looked at reflections! Together we investigated reflective surfaces, how reflections work and the scientific processes involved by taking part in three different challenges:

Enjoying Autumn

We have been exploring all the sights and sounds of Autumn. The children have been counting and counting conkers, sweeping up leaves and sorting the leaves and sticks by size. What fun we've had celebrating Autumn!

Can states of matter change from one to another?

This week we have been investigating whether gases, liquids and solids can change from one the other. Our investigations showed they can!

Evaporation

Investigating light

Class 4 enjoyed experimenting and investigating shadows this week. They wanted to find out whether certain materials created a coloured or textured shadow! After planning and predicting, they discovered that coloured transparent materials create a coloured shadow (eg.…

Class 2 are Scientists!

Class 2 have been making predictions today in science. We have each predicted (in mm) how much rain will fall in the next week. We have placed a rain gauge in the soil to collect the rain each day. Every afternoon we will check the gauge and record our results on our…
