What a day we had at Magna! We started the day off with a fascinating magnets workshop to consolidate our learning from school. Then we had a wonderful day exploring the fire, earth, air and water pavilions. From water cycles to fire tornados we investigated it all!
We have been on the hunt for wild and garden plants as part of our science learning…Wild and garden plants
What a fantastic day! We explored our science topic of Living Things and their Habitats with an activity packed itinerary including bug hunting and pond dipping
We carefully dissected a plant to look at its parts.
We know what a plant needs to be healthy so we have planted our own and we can’t wait to see how it grows…
We know the parts of a flower!
We have learnt that plants adapt to their environments too! We know that the roots of a cactus stay close to the surface so they can absorb any water quickly and we know that pine trees have thick bark to protect them from the cold. We used this knowledge to design our own plant that would grow in the jungle – we thought about how they would be adapted to this environment.
We have learnt about different ways in which animals are suited to their habitats. We looked closely at polar bears and sharks and discussed how they have features to suit their environments. We worked with our partners to match the adaptations to the correct animals and then we designed our own new animal that could live in the jungle. We thought about how this animal would be adapted to suit its habitat.
We started our Summer 2 topic by recapping our knowledge of food chains.
We have learnt what a food chain is. We have talked about what producers and consumers are and we have have also learnt that animals can be both predators and prey!
We worked scientifically to complete an experiment with Amazelab. We used pipettes which measured and extracted coloured liquid, to make colour changing fizzing potions…
