Year 4 ‘shine’ during Science Week 2025!
This week, Year 4 had an exciting and hands-on science lesson as part of our Science Week celebrations! The children explored the topic of light and how it travels in straight lines through a fun and practical investigation.
Using torches and cardboard with small holes, the children experimented to see how light moves in a straight path and how it can be reflected and directed. They were amazed to see that when objects blocked the light, a shadow was formed—proving that light doesn’t bend around corners!
The best part? Watching the children work together, discuss their ideas, and make predictions before testing them out. Their enthusiasm and curiosity shone just as brightly as the torches!
Class 9 | Light Experiment
We kicked science week off with an experiment to prove that light travels in straight lines. We used three pieces of card and made a hole in each before shining a torch through the hole. We knew that light must travel in straight lines because we could only see the light when all three holes lined up perfectly.
To prove this further, we then moved the middle card and tried to shine the torch through it again. We could no longer see the light from the torch as the light was unable to bend around the middle card.
Class 7 forces experiment!
Today, as part of our first day of Science Week, we have been learning about forces! We used balloons as a first test of forces!

Class 8 science experiment 1: forces
The children learnt today about different forces and how they are a push or a pull. They then had the opportunity to work in teams to test the theory out with air (inside a balloon) pushing on air outside of the balloon to see what would happen. There was lots of fun and laughter but also lots of great learning! Super work class 8, hope you enjoyed our first experiment of science week!
Extended Study – Science Week – Day 1
What do you already know about changing state?
Build your knowledge by watching the video and link below:

Can you demonstrate changing state with something you have at home?
E.g. You could freeze water and melt ice cubes, melt chocolate, boil water etc. Take photographs and send to your class teacher so we can celebrate your science learning!

Green Top Science Week
Keep a look out on the blog this week for what we will be getting up to in our science weeks. We are planning to inspire the children with scientific experiments and visitors with scientific professions! We are very excited to see what the children know already and what they learn!

Class 12: non chronological reports
This lovely class have worked the hardest I think I have ever seen to create some lovely two page spread non chronological reports about the digestive system. They listened to advice and feedback and have thought about their layout so carefully to ensure they made the best use of space. Stay posted for some of the final finished pieces, but here they are in action working hard and showing amazing quality.
Class 12: Live draw along for world book day
Before we set off for swimming, we joined in with the world book day Doncaster draw along with a local author and illustrator. The children were so engaged and loved every second. Well done guys I was so proud of your efforts.
Class 12: amazing world book day dress up!
I was amazed at the level of partition for world book day in class 12 it was so amazing to see all your wonderful efforts, thank you for a lovely day!
