The children in Year 5 enjoyed exploring the technique of filtering to clean different particles out of water.
This week Year 2 visited the Life Centre in Newcastle. We had an amazing day and loved every second. On the morning we took part in a space workshop and found out all about being an astronaut. We even made our own space breakfast! On the afternoon we explored the museum and especially enjoyed the Planetarium and the science show!
We had a fantastic time exploring the Centre for Life and learning all about our senses!
Following on from their history work all about Neil Armstrong and his voyage to the moon, Y2 looked at the footprint he left behind on the moon’s surface. They then predicted which material would leave the best footprint in flour. Following the investigation, the children discovered rubber and plastic left the best print. We then talked about which material would hold a footprint best – soft sand or flour. The children correctly predicted it was the flour.
The children enthusiastically participated in an assembly about World Anatomy Day. We found out about the role of the lungs and the heart as well as trying out some exercises to increase our heart rate.
If you would like to learn more, you can visit The Fire station on Sunday 15th October.
EYFS welcomed some visitors into their classroom to talk about the importance of staying healthy. We passed a ball around which was covered in glitter to demonstrate how easily germs are spread.
After this, we practised how to wash our hands correctly to make sure we kill the germs.
Another important topic we discussed was looking after our teeth. Nursery 30 hours children and Reception will brush their teeth everyday at school to keep them clean and healthy.
Y4 enjoyed a visit from the Nissan STEM team. During the morning event, the children were able to build their own cars and explore Japanese culture. The children also set up their own car building production line and used their problem solving skills to improve its efficiency. Great work Y4!
Year 1 have had the best day down at the seaside! We found so many sea creatures like crabs, shrimps, fish, starfish and even a Sea Hare which was huge! The children behaved fantastically and really did us proud. 🙂
This week in reception the children have been hunting in our school environment to find as many different types of minibeasts as they could. They were all very excited and discovered many minibeats which were hiding around out school!
Y4 had an amazing day at the Discovery Museum in Newcastle. It started with an excellent circuit workshop where the whole class impressed Fran with their knowledge of conductors and insulators. The children then applied their knowledge by making their own torch!
After lunch, everyone enjoyed exploring the exhibits in the museum. The interactive science lab was a huge hit! Finally, as a special treat for working so hard, the children experienced a ride on the Red Arrows simulator. What a fantastic day!
