Year 6 have been investigating what yeast likes to eat! 🧪🔬 They set up a fair test to explore how different substances affected the activity of yeast, making predictions, carefully observing what happened and recording their results. The children enjoyed being scientists and using their findings to help explain how yeast grows and produces gas. Can you tell from the images what our results
In our art installations topic we looked at Andy Goldsworthy and how he used nature to create huge installations. It was very windy today so we had to find natural materials then bring them inside to make our creations-what do you think?
For every day each class has 100% attendance, we colour in a letter for the word ‘TREAT’ once it is coloured in we get a treat! Today we coloured ours in for the second time. Half of us chose extra playtime and half of us chose golden time in the class. Mr Robson said because we have won the whole school attendance for 3
This week, we had a fantastic visit to Broomhouse Working Farm, a huge 1,000-acre working farm. The children had a wonderful time exploring, learning and getting up close to farm life. We explored the trees and searched for conkers, learning that they come from the horse chestnut tree, and enjoyed the beautiful views across the countryside. In the orchard, we learned how to safely
We loved our learning about Rocket Revolution this week and tested out physics in action too! We looked at Newton’s third law and investigated it using 6 different colas and mentos too! We made predictions, we carefully observed and we had lots of fun!
Our Year 6 scientists have been investigating whether yeast is a living microorganism. The children mixed yeast with warm water and sugar, then used a balloon to observe what happened as the yeast became active. They made predictions and observed the changes carefully.
Year 1 are really enjoying exploring their provision. This week we have been exciting by doubling, story telling and reading new stories!
Today we thought about different ways we could separate water and sand, rice and sand, salt and water and paperclips and sand. We correctly identified evaporation, a sieve magnets or a filter-we then tried them out and had a great time!
In Year 3 we have been learning all about Sukkot. Sukkot is a Jewish festival lasting seven days. It remembers the Israelites living in temporary shelters after leaving Egypt. Families eat meals in a sukkah, and the Etrog is a special citrus fruit used during prayers. Sukkot is also a harvest festival giving thanks for crops and food. Take a look at our wonderful
Today we used our observation skills to categorise materials into soluble and insoluble. We placed different solids (tea, coffee, salt etc…) in beakers with warm water and stirred to see if they dissolved and made a solution-our predictions were very close!
