Year 3 (Class 8) - Science - Yorkshire Coal Mining Museum Trip
Today we went to the Yorkshire coal mining museum to learn more about our science topic on rocks.
We learnt about how coal was made as well as mudstone, sandstone, limestone and ironstone and what life was like for miners years ago.
We also learnt that children the same age as us worked…

Year 4 (Class 11) - Science - Conductors and Insulators
Today, as part of our electricity topic we investigated conductors and insulators.
We tested objects in a circuit to see if they conducted electricity. If the bulb lit up the material was a conductor.
We talked about how materials that are insulators are very important to keep us…

Year 6 (Class 16) - Science - Gravitational Pull
In Science this week, Class 16 investigated gravitational pull, and how mass and weight affect each other.
We measured difference items in kg and newtons and studied the difference between gravitation pull and mass.

Year 3 (Class 8) - Science - Rock Hunt
Today we went on a rock hunt in our local area. We looked for different natural and man-made rocks and their uses.
We discussed why uses of types of rocks may have changed over time looking at things like industry, new inventions and cost.

Year 4 (Class 11) - Science - Different Circuits and Lights
In our science lesson this week we tested whether a lamp would light up when connected to different circuits.
We made the circuits using light bulbs, wires and batteries and then explained why they did or did not light up.

Year 3 (Class 8) - Science - The Rock Cycle
Today we started our new science topic, rocks! We used starburst to show how the rock cycle works by turning sediments into bigger rocks using heat and pressure.
We then identified different rocks using a key. Finally, we studied a single rock and observed its properties.
We looked at…

Year 4 (Class 11) - Science - Circuits and Electricity
Today we started our new topic in science. We are learning about electricity.
We looked at what electricity is, new vocabulary and symbols used to draw circuits.
We then played a game in pairs where we had to build our own circuits.

Year 3 (Class 8) - Science - Grow to School Project
This year we are lucky enough to be involved in the ‘Grow to school project’.
We will be visited every half term by a grow leader and spend time developing our wildlife garden and growing vegetables.
On our first visit, we learnt some of the different vegetable families and we readied our…

Year 1 (Class 4) - Science - Seasonal Changes
In Science we have been learning about the seasonal changes that take place in autumn. We went outside to look for evidence of these changes and found lots of different coloured leaves.
We then made pictures to show what happens in autumn.

Year 1 (Class 4) - Science - Rain Gauges
Year 1 enjoyed making rain gauges to measure the rainfall.
We will use these this year to measure how much rain there is in each season.
