Year 4 ‘shine’ during Science Week 2025!

10th March 2025Chris Mumby

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!

Reception Science Week – Chicks in F2.

10th March 2025Amanda Wallace

We are very excited that we have had 10 eggs delivered today in reception. We are hopeful that these eggs will hatch and then we will have some chicks in our classroom by the end of the week.

We will keep you posted on the progress of this and what we find out this week.

Class 8 science experiment 1: forces

10th March 2025Aime Shaw

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!

Class 10 are scientists! Does light bend?

10th March 2025Claire Dutton

To kick-start our science week, Class 10 have been busy investigating light! We started with researching light and shadow through photography on the playground and then we held an experiment in the classroom to see if light could bend through a series of holes. Why not ask us about our findings … did the light bend or did it travel in a straight line?

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!

Today, Class 7 created their own food boards to make sure that they understood a healthy and balanced diet. There was some beautiful work created. Well done Class 7 for another amazing lesson!

Class 7 labelling body parts!

11th February 2025Simon Gerrard

Today, we had an active science lesson! We drew around our friends and then labelled all of the body parts we know. Well done Class 7 for working so well and being so enthusiastic and sensible during the lesson!

Class 8 science work

4th February 2025Aime Shaw

I was really impressed today by the children recalling their knowledge on the life cycle of a plant and then learning about the functions of the structure of a plant. They did some superb labelled diagrams and then wrote about the different jobs that parts of a plant have to do!

Great work class 8!
