This half term, we have been learning about materials and their properties.
As a reward for their excellent behaviour and consistent hard work, we experimented with oobleck. Oobleck is a non-newtonian liquid which doesn't follow the laws of typical solids, liquids and gases. It changes its…

Class 2 designed and made scarecrows for their Autumn half term project. These scarecrows were made to keep the hungry birds away from our newly planted bulbs in the playground and a lot of thought had gone into how they would stand alone, whether they would be OK outdoors and most importantly…

Forces
In Class 5, we are now learning about forces in our science lessons.
It is a tricky topic, but the children have started off SO well! We explored push and pull forces by having a go at a tug of war. We then drew force diagrams using force arrows to show the strength and direction of each…

Outdoor Day
What a fabulous day Class Three have had! We developed our understanding of chronologically, ordering their learning on a timeline. We used chalk to create our own cave paintings and then created Stone Age shelters using natural materials.
