Y2 Attenborough have got stuck into describing the properties of objects while on a hunt around our classroom. We know that some objects and be made of more than one material and therefore can have more than one property. We were particular interested in transparent, absorbent and opaque!
The Year 4 Rosalind Franklin Class loved participating in a demonstration of what happens to food during digestion.
We can compare and observe body parts.
In Science Year 3 West have been discovering light energy and where it comes from. We categorised different sources of light: natural, artificial and reflectors.
Y3LP have explored the question what is darkness? We have learnt that darkness is the total absence of light and we have explored how we need light to see. We recreated darkness using a box with a peep hole to look in. When there was no light in the box we couldn’t see anything inside the box but when we turned on the torch we were able to see the hidden toy!
To begin this term’s learning, Y2 Attenborough explored inside and outside their classroom to find objects made from different materials. We also challenged ourselves to spot any objects made were made from 2 materials…
Today we watched a demonstration of the digestive system using tights, a sandwich bag, food and water. Not forgetting the bag and draw to catch the excretion!
In science, Y3LP have learnt that light is a type of energy. The children learnt about different sources of light and discussed which light sources are natural or artificial. We also discussed how some objects can be reflectors- where they do not give out their own light but reflect light from other sources, like the moon reflecting the light from the sun. Then we worked in pairs to sort the different pictures into the correct groups.
Y3LP started their new science topic on light by sharing all the knowledge the already have…
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
