For this experiment we used baking soda and vinegar to create an irreversible change. We used differing amounts to see how much CO2 was created by the reaction by capturing the gas in a balloon and then measuring. 

This week in RE, the children in Class One explored the meaning of Easter and why the cross was placed in the garden.

We began our lesson by tasting a traditional Easter treat - hot cross buns! The children sampled different varieties, noticing the sweetness of the bread, the fruity pieces and…

This week in maths, our EYFS children have been busy investigating mass! The children explored objects around the classroom, estimating which were heavier or lighter. To test their ideas, they became human balance scales, holding an object in each hand to see which felt heavier. We then used real…

This week, Class One created beautiful handmade gifts to show their appreciation for their mums and grandmas on Mother’s Day.

Using Clay, the children carefully shaped pinch pots, turning them into lovely trinket dishes. Once dried, they decorated them with metallic paint and a touch of…

 Children created posters for an exhibition in the church to highlight the issues facing the planet, and our role in fighting Climate Injustice.

In maths, we have been learning about mass. We have used scales to measure objects from around the classroom. Some year 2 children even became balancing scales themselves to see whose bag was the heaviest. 
 

We also had a debate about which is heavier1kg of feathers or 1kg of bricks?

Class Three worked scientifically using heat to create irreversible changes. They looked at how different materials burned and recorded their observations. 

This week, our EYFS mathematicians wriggled into the world of measurement with Superworm! We started by comparing the characters in the story, using shorter and longer to describe their sizes.

Next, the children explored length by sorting objects around the classroom into shorter and longer…

This week, in Geography, Class One took a trip (in our imaginations) to Nairobi, Kenya. We explored the difference between physical features - natural landforms like rivers and hills - and human features, which are man-made like roads and buildings.

working in small groups, the children…

Children used heat to melt different items then allowed them to cool to see if they changed back to their original state.

This week, in PE, our Class One adventurers took to the skies - well, almost! Using a giant, colourful parachute, they worked together to lift, shake and swoosh it in all directions, building our gross motor skills and teamwork along the way.

We played games that got our arms, legs and core…

This week in Science, our EYFS and KS1 scientists put their measuring skills to the test as they investigated human growth! Armed with measuring tapes and teamwork, they set out to answer two big questions:

• Are children in the same year group all the same height?
• Do children grow taller as…
