Year 5 Science: Sorting Materials into Hard or Soft
Year 5 were given a variety of objects made from different materials, and sorted them according to how hard or soft these objects were. They then tested their ideas using a nail to scratch the objects, and made a second judgement based on how easy it was to scratch the object. Lastly, we tested the trustworthiness of our investigation by comparing our results. We were surprised that our results were so different, and concluded that the method of observation was not as reliable as we had first thought!
Nursery - Maths - Categorising Objects
This week, Nursery class have been reading 'kitchen disco', two of the first fruits we have explored are lemons and oranges. We discussed the size difference, encouraging the verbal use of 'big' and 'small'. The children vocalised the shape of the sliced fruit segments being 'circle' and also used their senses to smell each piece to help differentiate between the lemons and the oranges. We then separated the fruit into piles of oranges and piles of limes, the children used their own methods to do this from their knowledge gained during the adult led part of this activity. Well done Nursery class!
Year 6 Science - Light
In science we have been looking at describing how light travels. We conducted two experiments to prove that light only travels in straight lines.
PreSchool-U.T.W-Science-Exploring Our 5 Senses.
Preschool have been exploring their 5 senses. Using Mr Potato we discussed each of our senses as the children dressed Mr Potato's face/head with the senses. The children explained what we use our senses for, eyes for looking, ears for listening, mouth for tasting, nose for smelling and our hands to feel.
Year 3 Science - Making Shadow Puppets
In Year 3's science lesson we have been learning about shadows. Today they learnt how to tell a story using different shadows that they made using their hands. The children created shadows of animals, butterflies and trees.
Year 5 Science - Dissolving
In Science this week, Year 5 investigated whether temperature has an effect on the time it takes to dissolve a sugar cube. We discussed variables, which ones were changed, which were measurable and which variables were the control variables and needed to remain the same each time.
Year 2 Science - Long Term Study
Year 2 having been observing and measuring the growth of caterpillars over the past few week. They have now pupated and we are waiting for them to hatch.
Year 3 Science - Investigating How Distance Affects The Size Of Shadows
In science, Year 3 looked at how distance affects the size of a shadow. They used a torch to create a shadow of a cat against a whiteboard. By moving the torch away they discovered that the size of the shadow changed. The shadow got bigger the closer the torch got to the object and then smaller as it moved further away.
Year 5 Science - What is a Solution?
Year 5 discovered how to identify a solution in Science this week. We made several mixtures, including sugar and water, flour and water and tea and water. We observed whether the mixture became clear or cloudy, and whether we could see visible particles. Only the clear mixtures were solutions.

Year 4 Science
In science, we have been classifying animals based on their characteristics. We did this practically, using groups and keys, asking lots of useful questions to help us identify them.
Year 6 DT
In our design technology lesson we made our own switch using foil, cardboard, spit pins and sponge and made a circuit using three wires and a battery.
Year 1 Science, Hearing Investigation
Year 1 investigated the effect of distance on sound. We found that as we moved away from a sound, it got quieter.
