Professor Ella...

More amazing Science from another of our talented 'professors'! Enjoy!

(ps There are a couple more episodes which we're trying to upload!)

Professor Mugridge...

Professor Mugridge and her assistant, Millie, have made another video for Science Week, this time inspired by Stephen Hawking. Enjoy!

Soaking science week

So far this week has been a blast. The children have had the opportunity to learn all about weight and floating and sinking. We started the week by understanding what floating and sinking meant. We have then based a lot of our work on the book who sank the boat. We made predictions of who we thought would cause the boat to sink, we thought about why this was and then tested to check if we were right.
We have moved on to learning about boats and what makes a good boat, this will help us later in the week when we make our own boats and test them out in the water.

Super Science in Year R!

We have been very busy during Science week! We investigated what happens to flour when we add different substances to it. We made predictions and then tested our ideas! As you can see from the pictures, we enjoyed finding out the results and getting very messy!


We also used our 'Super Heads' to think carefully about how far a car will travel on different surfaces. We made predictions and then tested our results by measuring the length travelled with our hands or a tape measure. We thought carefully about why and shared our ideas.


Please take a look at our pictures!

Silly science - by Professors Mugridge & Mayo

Great Science happening at home... this is awesome! I am sure we can get these 'youtubers' a few more watches?

Science Experiments Live!

Inspired by Science Week, we are very pleased to be sharing a link to a video presentation by a group of young scientists from our school. Despite their disguises, one or two do look very familiar...? Looks like great fun!

Science week in Robins class

We've had a fantastic week in Robins.  We have welcomed some small visitors into our class (Bob, Dave, Stuart, Kevin and Gru the caterpillars). We can't wait to watch them grow and turn into a caterpillar.

In maths we have been measuring caterpillars using standard and non-standard units. We have written some beautiful sense poems and are looking forward to publishing them on Friday. We have labelled a butterfly's  body parts and found out how a butterfly sees, hears, feels, smells and tastes. We ventured out into the field to find some mini-beasts and have created some fab butterfly pictures using crayons.

Rooks Day 1 Science Week

Today Rooks began their introduction into Electricity and circuits.

"I loved today, it was fun and I learnt lots!" Kayden

"What I have liked about Science Day is we have learnt lots of new things but had fun at the same time." Victoria

"Especially the experiments at the beginning of today and lots of new stuff about circuits!" Seth

Today we began by identifying different types of appliances and whether they use mains electricity, battery or are manual.  The children learned that an appliance is a device, piece of equipment or an instrument designed to perform a task.

This afternoon, the class looked at circuits using a Human Circuit Maker Breaker.  We formed human circuits and tested different objects to see if the current would flow through the material being inserted into the circuit for instance a wooden ruler.

Quotes from Rooks members
"I really liked the fact we could transport electricity. It was amazing!" Lucas
"I found out electricity can go through us and metals and not wood." Kayden
"I learnt not all materials can carry on the circuit and some can." Saiya
"I learnt wooden and plastic will not allow electricity through, only metal can make it go through."Seth
"I learnt plastic will not let it go through." Kobey
"I learnt that metal with plastic on the end can't let the electric circuit go through." Jason
