👩🏻‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬🧪British Science Week, Day 4: Today we have taken part in various experiments to change the properties of materials. We drew around a piece of bread, toasted it and then drew around it again recognising that the piece of bread had shrunk in size, changed colour and had become a lot harder. We also found that we can turn liquids (water) into solids (ice) by freezing them and that we can turn solids (chocolate) into liquids by melting them🍞🧊🍫

👩🏻‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬🧪 British Science Week, Day 3: Year 5 have conducted an experiment to identify whether fruit cells could be used as batteries. They experimented with a range of different fruit and tested their voltages. They found that citrus fruits work best, generating the most voltage🍊🍋‍🟩🍋

👩🏻‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬🧪 British Science Week, Day 2: Year 1 went to EnviroSort, a recycling centre in Worcester. They observed recycling coming into the warehouse on a conveyor belt, going through the crusher and being packed into cubes of recycled materials. Then a forklift came along and took the packed cubes of recycling to be melted down and reused. They also had a session in the EnviroSort classroom and learned lots of facts about recycling. Did you know that black materials are not supposed to be recycled as the machine cannot spot them on the conveyor belt? Did you know that by recycling 1 aluminium can, you can power a microwave to heat 3 microwave meals? Year 1 learned lots at EnviroSort today!🚛🚮

👩🏻‍🔬👨🏽‍🔬🧪 British Science Week, Day 1: Reception have been discussing seasonal changes, thinking about plants and new life. They have painted flowers, drawn flowers in sand, sorted and classified plants in circle time, pretended to be florists in the role play area and have even pretended to be seeds growing, responding to Vivaldi's Springtime music. Reception, you are excellent scientists!🌻🌸🌹

Year 2 had a super fun day celebrating World Book Day!📚

HAPPY WORLD BOOK DAY!📚 To celebrate, here are our wonderful Year 1 children retelling the story of Lila and the Secret of Rain🌧️💧

Year 1 have been learning about healthy eating in PSHE and about cooking and nutrition in DT. As part of our learning, we made a fruit salad by cutting and chopping fruit safely using our 'peek-a-boo' hold to keep our fingers away from the knife. We were so sensible and our fruit salad was yummy!🔪🍎🍌🍓

Year 5 / 6 have been enjoying exploring different artists. This week the children used clay to sculpt animals, inspired by Frida Kahlo🧑🏼‍🎨👩🏽‍🎨
