Learning about fish
Nursery have been learning all about fish today! We had a real fish (bought from the fish mongers!) for the children to explore. They were able to touch it and feel its scales, spot its fins and gills and look closely at its mouth to see if it had any teeth! They looked through magnifying…
A Snow Day
Nursery enjoyed a 'snow day' today, making foot prints, snow balls, snow castles and they even tried to build a snowman! They had lots of fun exploring how snow felt and they even tried to catch a few flakes on their tongue!
Back inside after they had warmed up we learnt all about Chinese…
Exploring frost and ice
As we welcomed our Nursery children back this week, the weather was just right for our planned activities!! We learned how frost was formed and looked at pictures of the pretty patterns it makes! We were able to go outside on the grass and explore the frost for ourselves! The children thought…
Exploring ice and animals
At the end of last week we took advantage of the cold, snowy and icy weather. We carried out an experiment to see what would happen if we left a tray of water outside overnight. The children were surprised the next morning when the water has disappeared and ice was in it's place! The children…
Ice Adventures

well done Year 4…
Investigating Air Resistance
The aim of this week's Year 5 Science lesson was not how fast can an object fall fall but how slow... Why? Because we were studying air resistance and how it can be useful in situations such as slowing down the fall of a parachutist.
The children looked at the effects of air resistance on…
A combination of seasons
Nursery have been having fun creating these gorgeous pictures with natural materials which represent the 4 seasons. They used objects such as flowers to represent summer, green leaves to represent spring, acorns, conkers, yellow/orange leaves to represent autumn and twigs for winter. They chose…
