Who lives in our school?

Date: 15th Jul 2019 @ 3:48pm

Today Y1 were tasked with gathering and recording data to help them to answer questions. Our learning question was, what lives in our school? and then children used the data they collected to answer, which is the most common insect in our school? Y1 had lots of fun exploring and investigating the many mini habitats in our fabulous school grounds. Children looked on bark, under stones, in soil and in the sky. Y1 also performed the tree shake test, placing white trays under branches and gently shaking them to see who is living on them. Y1 discovered that we have many ant nests and that ants were the most common insect. We also discovered beetles, grasshoppers, butterflies, and some interesting things in our school pond. Great investigating Y1.

Tooth Decay Experiment - Y4

Date: 15th Jul 2019 @ 3:39pm

EGGciting EGGsperiment

 

This week Y4 have been looking at how to take care of their teeth and the effects of tooth decay. We placed 6 hard-bolied eggs in a variety of liquids to see what effect they would have over the course of a week. 

To make it a fair test, the children checked that we were using the same sized jug with the same amount of liquid, made sure that the eggs were exactly the same size and weight and were placed into the liquid at the same time. 

The children were given oppurtunity to predict what effects the liquid would have on the egg and also made observations throughout the week. 

As you can see in our pictures, the results were pretty interesting. We have decided that fizzy drinks should be banned forever!   

Transition Day

We got our ice creams the next day!
