Class 2

Today we used UV beads to test out how we can protect our eyes and skin from the sun. We tested different factor suncreams to see if they protected the beads and used layers of different transparent materials to investigate how sun glasses protect our eyes.

Today we used lux metres to calculate how much light was reflected off different materials. We used our knowledge of the properties of materials to create scientific predictions and then test our theories.

Class 2 are working hard on their basketball skills. Shoot, pass, dribble!

We have had a fab afternoon investigating light. First of all we played find the object in a darkened room and discovered that dark is the absence of light.Then we completed some self led investigations to find out how light behaved with different materials.

What a fantastic day we have had for our Ancient Egyptian Day!

Thank you parents, all of the costumes were incredible and really enhanced the day. The children looked fab.

We enjoyed learning about a range of topics including family life, gods, mummification and Egyptian maths. What a fab…

This week we looked at the story of Noah. We prepped some questions we would have liked to ask him about how he felt when he was asked to build his ark and then hot seated his answers. Some great investigative work class 2.

Class 2 have been busy investigating metal conductors in their second design and technology lesson in the term. Year 4 used metacognition to recall their previous knowledge about circuits and conductors. Great work everyone!

Lots of maths outside this week. The children investigated place value on the playground, creating giant number lines and hoola hoop part whole models. 
 

We’ve had lots of fun practising our common exception words this week!

This afternoon we have investigated the process of pollination. We used rice crispies as the pollen which then travelled to the other children who were our flowers. We love our practical science.

What a fantastic day we had yesterday! Class 3 from Richard Crosse came to visit and we completed a scientific enquiry together. Our question was - How is water transported in plants? We used celery and food colouring to test this. The results were fab. It was great working with scientists from…

What a fantastic session with Jake this morning!

The children were asked to squeeze toothpaste out and then try and put it back in the tube - it was pretty hard! We learnt that  it’s easy to say something unkind but no so easy to take our unkind words back.

We ended our lesson making…
