This week in Science the children have wowed me when creating their own branching keys to classify different leaves. They have worked hard to identify the similarities and differences between them and come up with suitable questions to sort them. Well done everyone!

Our Science lesson this week was very exciting!

We have been exploring filtration. We looked at when filtering should be used and how filtering separates mixtures.

Our experiment involved filtering water through cotton wool, a paper towel, filter paper and gauze.

We had a great time at the Fire Station :)

Firstly, we walked to the Lichfield Trent Valley train station which was very exciting! We made our way up the stairs to the platform and then boarded the train. We were very lucky because we had the whole carriage to ourselves! When we arrived at…

In science, we have been learning about living things. This week we were looking at things that are 'alive', 'used to be alive' and 'never been alive'. We went on a hunt around the school to see if what we could find. 

In Year Three, our new science topic is called Movement and Nutrition. This week, the children learned, and have started to use, an impressive range of scientific vocabulary! The children looked at vertebrates and invertebrates as well as some creatures with an endoskeleton and exoskeleton. They…

This morning, the children in Hedgehogs were transported into space!

We climbed inside the Stardome and were taken on a journey through space. We explored our different neighbouring planets and talked about their atmospheres. We then began to discuss the different ways in which we can search…

Team Hedgehogs had a wonderful time at the Think Tank, exploring all things SCIENCE. 

The children were able to explore the Science Garden, Wildlife and Marine Worlds, the Spitfire Gallery, All About Me and much more! They ended the day with an amazing chemistry show which was a enjoyed by…

This week, Team Daffodils have enjoyed exploring different parts of the school field. They've built houses out of the cut grass, worked as a team to move heavy objects and taken it in turns to push each other in the cars. We've also enjoyed an outdoor snack and tried some more summery…

In Science this week, we have been investigating forces, and have used our knowledge to create wind-powered pulley systems! We worked in small teams making windmills, attaching string, cups, straws and paperclips together to create an amazing pulley system. We were amazed to see the windmill…

Team Meadow have been learning about the life cycle of a plant. They recreated this life cycle using role play to represent the different stages. 

We welcomed the parents into our "in the garden" workshop. Where we planted seeds and explored the outdoor environment.
 

The children have been learning and understanding the process in which a caterpillar takes in order to become a butterfly.
