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!

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 8 science work

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!

Crew Ambler – The eye

Today in biology we have been investigating how our pupil changes size in light and dark. We learnt that when there is minimal light our pupil contracts to allow more light in helping us to see better and when there is light our pupil retracts to control the amount of light through our eye. #ogdentrust

Crew Ambler – Lecture Preparation

This morning, we have been busy researching our topics in preparation for our scientific lecture all about space. Over the next few weeks, we will be using all our information to create scripts and slides ready to deliver to our audience. We can’t wait to show you what we have learnt! #OgdenTrust
