Part of our Science Entry Level qualification requires students to interact with animals and learn about the care they need daily. This was a valuable learning experience as it showed how hard work farming is. 

4M really enjoyed their science lesson identifying smells. 
They worked out most smells ranging from vinegar, coffee, chocolate to car air fresheners. 
well done on challenging yourselves, as some of you was very sensitive to certain smells. 

In science this week we looked at friction, we had objects with different surfaces and used a newton meter to measure how much force it took to move them along the table. This told us how much friction each object had.

Well Done 3S

Today in our Science lesson 4B have been learning about chemical reactions.

In Science we have been learning about the solar system. We have been exploring the planets, moons, asteroids & comets. 

We used a Kahoot quiz to see how much information we have remembered & to see where we need to focus next. 

We looked at gravity in our science lesson this week.

Gravity is the force that pulls down on an object, we looked at how air resistance (using parachutes) can effect gravity and slow falling objects.

In science this week we have been looking at forces.

we learnt about contact forces (such as push and pulling) and non contact forces such as gravity (as shown in our photos!) and magnetism.

Well done 3S!

In science everyone in 3S received their Bunsen Burner licence ! Everyone was taught how a  Bunsen works and how to safely use one. 
 

Well Done 3S!

We are learning about the solar system in Science & the sheer size of the planets. Today we have focused on the sun & we were amazed at how small it appears to super stars. 

2E enjoyed a minibeast hunt in the Berry building mud kitchen area.

They explored the different habitats that insects might live in and found ladybirds, worms, slugs, woodlice and a centipede.

Pupils returned all insects back to nature and washed their hands afterwards.

We have been working so hard,  arranging wooden dominoes carefully at the bottom of the ramp requires a lot of skill and concentration. 
Ready, steady……..go! The ball goes down the ramp and knocks over the dominoes! It’s so exciting. 

In our Science lesson this week 2W explored different materials which were mixed together and how we could separate them.
