This half term in Science we have started learning about Plants. We learnt the different parts of a plant and labelled them. Pupils enjoyed investigating with magnifying glasses, taking the flowers apart and looking closely at all the parts. The following week we enjoyed learning about the difference between bulbs and seeds. We discussed what…
Following on from our lovely trip to Hamsterley Forest Oak class in Science this week were working on knowing the four seasons and the weather associated with theses seasons. We learnt this by observing the trees in the forest and when we came back to school we read our autumn sensory story using the book…
In Art Oak class have been working on using a range of materials creatively to make a natural sculpture, know what construction materials are and use them to assemble a structure. Today we went to Hamsterley forest to explore natural sculptures and construct a den using natural materials. We went on a walk to find…
This half term Oak class are learning all about seasons in Science. We listened to a story all about the different seasons of the year. We spoke about how the weather changes depending on the season and activities we can do in the winter but not in the summer. Oak class enjoyed creating some art…
In Science we have been learning about materials and their properties. This week we enjoyed our recap activity where we spoke about which of the three little pig’s houses were the strongest against the big bad wolf. We then decided to investigate which of the pigs houses might be waterproof. We made a prediction and…
This term in Science Hazel and Oak class have been learning about rocks. Over the last few weeks we have completed some experiments to develop of knowledge on different types of rocks (igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic) and the different properties they have. We created igneous rocks by pouring warm melted chocolate over ice to represent…
During Science today in Rowan the children have been learning all about the skeleton and how our bones and parts of the body help us. Once we identified the different parts of the body and labelled them we then went onto to do an investigation. The investigation was to find out if our femur actually…
Hazel class today continued learning about the human body, focusing on their senses. Pupils had to make predictions about what they could smell in each cup. They also had to smell the playdough and guess the scent. Pupils fell into the trap of using their sense of sight to make predictions instead of smell.…
This week Hazel class started learning about the human body. As a baseline we labelled the body parts of Miss Wilson and Miss Brannan. Pupils labelled internal and external body parts, we then discussed our answers as a group. Next week we are going to learn…
Today in Hazel we enjoyed Active Science. Some pupils were given a symbol card and asked to go and find the item. Others were given a type of material to find and the final group were given different types of material properties and had to…
