Last week the children celebrated science and completed experiments each to day. These included observing the effects of milk, food colouring and washing up liquid, investigating how oobleck (cornflour and water) is like a liquid and / or solid. Testing which material makes the best handkerchief and the best boat. Read more
Our Year 5 class had an incredible day out at the Winchester Science Centre! It was a fun-filled trip packed with hands-on learning, teamwork, and plenty of excitement. We started the day by designing and building our own aerodynamic rockets. After that, we headed into the planetarium for an unforgettable Read more
Year 4 were lucky to have a visit from Berkshire Reptiles who spoke to them about the reptiles of the rainforest compared to different climates, answered their brilliant questions about the species adaptations and encouraged them all to have a go at handling different reptiles.
We were very lucky to have a special visit from WSP Engineering! The children got to try on real engineer outfits, solve exciting challenges, build towers and even design and construct bridges over rivers and roads. It was a fantastic hands-on learning experience that sparked curiosity, creativity and teamwork!
Year 4 had an extraordinary day at Rushall Farm. It was an amazing opportunity for them to apply their Geography and Science learning! They studied rivers, wildlife and habitats, learnt about bees and completed the bee dance, as well as spending time sweep netting in the sunshine.
Year 6 have been exploring light in their Science lessons this half term. We have taken part in a range of experiments exploring: shadows; reflection and refraction.
This week, Year 6 have started to revisit measures and converting between measures in Maths. We combined our maths and science learning to try and use accurate measuring to create a colour spectrum.
This week, Year 4 enjoyed having a visit from Berkshire Reptile Encounters. All of them bravely held or stroked a variety of creatures and asked brilliant geographical and scientific questions. They discussed the camouflaging and adaptations of different animals based on climates as well as considering the evolution of different Read more
Year 5 had a brilliant day visiting the Winchester Science Museum on Tuesday. We had the opportunity to watch a planetarium show where we learned some more about space and why Neptune appears blue. We also took part in an activity to explore how aerodynamics, friction and weight can affect Read more
