We had a brilliant science lesson today learning all about reproduction in plants and the different parts of a plant!
We built up our background knowledge, through watching videos, reading, playing games and finally dissecting a lily! Lilies are great to be able to see the different male and female parts of a plant really clearly!
Wow! What a very busy and jam packed science lesson we’ve had this morning! We’ve worked so hard to learn about the different types of plant reproduction, the different parts of a plant and their functions and we even dissected a lilly and labelled the parts we could find! Well done Crew Spetch – You’ve been SUPER SCIENTISTS!
Year 6 have been learning all about plant reproduction this morning. To build their background knowledge, the children explored informative videos, engaging reading materials, and class discussions about how flowering plants reproduce. With their curiosity sparked, they then had the opportunity to dissect lilies and carefully identify and label each part of the flower. Everyone worked together to deepen their understanding. Fun was had by all, and the pupils demonstrated excellent learning attitudes throughout the activity!
A huge shout out to my whole class for their amazing learning attitudes this morning when learning about the life cycles of different animals. Everyone’s craftsmanship and quality was beautiful. A Massive shoutout to Hunter for his scientific diagrams on his butterfly lifecycle.
This morning, we have been busy learning all about reproduction of plants. We even managed to dissect a plant and identified the different parts of a plant. Well done Y6 awesome work today!
Year 4 had a fantastic time working with our visitors from Drax Power Station. The children were buzzing with excitement as they explored the science of forces in a hands-on and practical way.
One of the highlights of the session was constructing their very own cars. With teamwork, creativity, and plenty of determination, the children carefully built their designs before putting them to the test.
This was a brilliant opportunity for the children to link their classroom learning to the real world and to see how science and engineering are used in everyday life. We are so grateful to our visitors from Drax for making the session fun, interactive, and memorable.
Year 4 were very lucky to receive a visit from Nicki and Vicky from Drax who provided an afternoon of scientific learning! We had so much fun understanding forces and their effects, as well as making our own balloon powered cars!
This morning we completely immersed ourselves in the rainforest by reading and listening to clues to find out about the different layers of the rainforest. We treasure hunted new vocabulary around the classroom, looked at an image, watched a video, read lots of facts and shared a poem; all of this helped us collaborate to create anchor charts. We went on to produce our own rainforest flap books and I was blown away by not only the recall of facts but by the time and care taken in ensuring their work was presented to a high standard. We just need to add the finishing touches tomorrow and I can’t wait to see the final version.
Keep up the great work everyone!
Another wonderful science lesson today where the children explored pitch, high and low sounds. Again, their discussion and vocabulary was amazing and they made me so proud. Here they are exploring sounds and working out how and why pitch changes using water in bottles. Well done as always class 12!
Class 10 have been busy little scientists again this week as they have been investigating sound by exploring sound waves, pitch and volume. Why not ask us at home about our learning from these experiments … what did we find out?
