We are going to be doing the Big School Birdwatch soon so we have been learning to identify different types of birds. We have been using some of our bird […] […]

We began our learning about light by considering what we already knew and remembered about how shadows are formed. We learnt in detail about how our eyes work – this […] […]

This week we have really enjoyed reading ‘The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark’ by Jill Tomlinson. The story was a great follow on from learning about celebrations that […] […]

This term, Year 3 have been busy exploring the fascinating topic of Animals Including Humans in Science. Our budding biologists have been learning all about skeletons, bones, nutrition, and the […] […]

Year 4 have been bringing together their learning about states of matter in science and exploring how these link to the water cycle. Through hands-on investigations and creative diagrams, the […] […]

Years Five and Six have had lots of fun learning about electrical circuits during their science lessons this half term. We began by thinking about what we already knew – […] […]

We absolutely love learning in our outdoor spaces. We have been enjoying our Forest School sessions already and have been very busy exploring our school grounds. We love to learn […] […]

We had such a great day at Stanwick Lakes. We were plant detectives and pond dippers for the day. […]

This term, Year Four are learning all about Living Things and Their Habitats. As part of this unit, we have learned that scientists classify animals and plants into different groups, […] […]

In science, Years Five and Six are learning about the Earth in space. We have enjoyed becoming experts on our Solar System and the planets within it. We worked in […] […]

Recently we have loved the freezing cold weather and we have been enjoying looking at the ice in our outdoor classroom so we decided to make our very own ice decorations. […] […]

In Year 2, as part of our “Animals Including Humans” topic, we’ve been learning all about how to stay healthy through healthy eating, exercise, and good hygiene. We started by […] […]

We will be looking at different types of materials and their properties. We will investigate why some materials are more suitable than others for different purposes. […]

In science, we have been learning about air resistance. We had so much fun setting up our own PPPOP investigations using paper helicopters. Some of us tried varying the size […] […]

In science, we are learning about forces. We enjoyed using force meters to measure weight and friction. We discovered that, on Earth, 1 Newton = 100g. To explore friction, we […] […]

In science, we are learning about forces. We began by exploring what we already knew and were able to name forces such as gravity, friction and air resistance. After discussing […] […]

We became ‘sense detectives’ today and had to solve a mystery using our senses. We had to identify a minty smell, hear a squeak, feel something soft and furry, measure […] […]

Today in science, we began our learning about the circulatory system. We learnt about the heart and what it does. Many of us chose to draw our own diagrams – […] […]

Year 4 have been learning about the digestive system in Science. We started off by learning about the different types of teeth and used plasticene to model our own teeth. […] […]

We had to investigate which material would be best suited for making an umbrella. We tested four different materials: plastic, paper, felt and foil. We predicted that foil and plastic […] […]

In science this week, we explored electrical resistance. Our learning question was ‘Does the length of the wire affect the brightness of the bulb?’ Most of us thought that the […] […]

We are learning about animals including humans. We are looking at the different groups of animals and their diets. We are grouping animals based on similarities and differences. We are […] […]

In Science, we are learning about electrical circuits. We have enjoyed our beginning this learning sequence by building circuits using different components (batteries, bulbs, motors and buzzers) and representing these […] […]

This term, Year Four are learning all about Living Things and Their Habitats. As part of this unit, we have learned that scientists classify animals and plants into different groups, […] […]

We have now completed our sequence of science lessons about the properties and changes of materials. We have learnt about reversible and irreversible changes – we were amazed to discover […] […]

Year 2 explored the school grounds and found different habitats as part of our learning about Living Things and their Habitats. We found a woodland, grassland and hedgerow habitats. We […] […]

We are learning about what plants need to grow. We planted our sunflower seeds and wanted to test what they needed. We planted our seeds in soil and put them […] […]

We played a ‘Yes/No’ game where we had to guess which material we had on our back by asking questions about its properties. We tested different materials to see whether […] […]

We read the core text ‘Lost and Found’ by Oliver Jeffers as part of our learning about Antarctica. We really enjoyed learning about penguins this week and this story was […] […]

As part of our science and PSHE learning this week we have been looking at our teeth and how to care for them. It was really interesting to read our […] […]

As part of our fairy tale topic we read the story of ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff’. We really enjoyed this story and thought a lot about the bridge that […] […]

Today it was really windy and we decided to make the most of it. Some of the children had a brilliant idea to make some kites and windmills to use […] […]

On Thursday 2nd February, we visited Bayfordbury Observatory to support our learning about Earth in Space. First, we enjoyed a presentation all about our universe and beyond. We learnt so […] […]

During CIL each group planted some spring bulbs. We took it in turns to add some compost to the baskets and then added different bulbs in each basket. We have […] […]
