Weather 

We looked at what the weather can be like during each season and decided what clothing we would wear.

We know the seasons of the year and the changes that happens as the year passes by!

Parts of a Plant

We have recapped the names of the different plant parts. We also talked about the special job each part of a plant does. We watched a video which shows how a plant grows from a seed and were amazed by how far the roots spread.

We know that living things are divided into five different kingdoms. Did you know about bacteria, fungi, plants, animals and protocist?

Dead, living or never alive?

We are learning about plants this half term. We recapped what we had already learnt about the terms ‘dead’, ‘living’ and ‘never alive’. Then we went on a hunt around the school grounds to find objects that fit into each group.

Sharing our discoveries 

The Year 1s visited the Year 4s to share their learning about floating and sinking. They had been curious investigators! Year 4s then explained their knowledge about solids, liquids and gasses from their experiments involving objects and making oobleck. We were highly impressed with the children’s speaking and listening.

Magnetic and non-magnetic materials

Today Y3 Jemison have explored what materials are attracted to a magnet, making them magnetic and what materials are non-magnetic when tested in our teams.

Magnetic Materials 

This week, Year 3 Obama have been testing materials to find out if they are magnetic or not.

Our own experiments!

One of our wonderful Y2 children brought in their own science experiment as part of British Science Week. He showed us how we can generate static electricity using a balloon and then use the static electricity to pick up other particles – like pepper!
