Year 6 (Class 16) - Science - Materials
This week, we started our topic about properties of materials.
The children first had a go at feeling different items in bags, and they tried to decipher what the items were based on their properties.
Then, we categorised properties and definitions, and finally the children conducted an…

Year 5 (Class 12) - Science - Forces and Friction
Class 12 have been studying friction with a variety of different carpets and toy cars.
The class experimented by pushing toy cars with equal force on vinyl, ribbed carpet and underlay to determine which carpet has the least friction and therefore which one is the most suitable for a nursery…

Year 6 (Class 16) - Science - Water Resistance
This week, Class 16 were testing water resistance. In groups, the children made 2 different objects out of play dough - one which they thought would have more water resistance and one which they thought would have less water resistance against it.
We used stop watches to time their results.…

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…
