🌿🎉 What an amazing afternoon we’ve had celebrating Sir David Attenborough’s 100th birthday! 🎉🌿
Across our houses, everyone got involved in a range of activities inspired by Sir David’s incredible love for nature and wildlife. We started by making bird feeders to help support the birds in our local environment, thinking about how even small actions can make a big difference for nature. 🐦🌱
We also created our very own “Promises to Nature” Tree, where everyone added a promise about how they will help protect and care for the natural world. It was wonderful to see so many thoughtful ideas and commitments. 🌳💚
The celebrations continued with us designing colourful birthday cards for Sir David and, of course, no birthday is complete without cake – so we baked a special birthday cake to mark the occasion! 🎂🎈
It was a fantastic afternoon full of creativity, teamwork, and appreciation for the natural world. Happy 100th Birthday, Sir David Attenborough – thank you for inspiring generations to care for our planet! 🌍💙 ... See MoreSee Less

Class 2 have been busy scientists this week! 🔬🌈
We carried out a chromatography experiment to investigate the question: “What colours are hiding in our felt tip pens?”
The children used paper, water and different coloured felt tip pens to see what would happen over time. As the water travelled up the paper, the ink began to separate, revealing lots of hidden colours we didn’t expect! It was very exciting to watch the patterns and colours appear.
During the investigation we used the scientific enquiry skill **observing over time**, carefully watching the changes and talking about what we noticed as the colours spread.
The children made great observations and predictions, and loved discovering that one pen colour can actually be made up of many different colours! Fantastic work, Class 2! 👩🔬👨🔬 ... See MoreSee Less

Class 2 took on the **Egg Drop Challenge**! 🥚🚀
We worked like real scientists, designing and building protective containers to keep our eggs safe when dropped from a height. The children explored lots of different materials including paper, cardboard, cotton wool, bubble wrap and tape to see which would protect the egg the best.
As part of our scientific enquiry, we talked about comparing results and making sure our investigations were fair tests. We discussed what we should keep the same (the height of the drop) and what we could change (the materials and designs).
There were some fantastic ideas and lots of teamwork, creativity and problem solving. Some eggs survived… and some didn’t! 😄 ... See MoreSee Less

🌿 STEM Week Finale: Sir David Attenborough Day!
To wrap up our STEM Week this Friday, we’re celebrating the birthday of the legendary Sir David Attenborough! 🎂🐢
Our explorers will be heading outside for some nature-inspired STEM activities. Please ensure all pupils come to school dressed for the great outdoors—think sturdy shoes, warm layers, and waterproof coats! 🥾🌧️
We can’t wait to see our budding naturalists in action! ... See MoreSee Less

The children in nursery and reception have enjoyed being very curious scientists this week in all our STEM week activities. They have learnt about how scientists start off being curious about the world around them and asking lots of questions! They have used their senses and knowledge of the world around them.
We have set up an experiment to find out if plants might grow on the moon and are going to observe closely what happens. We explored whether dirty water could be made clearer in a filtering experiment and we have explored solids and liquids. The children loved exploring how water and chocolate can melt but is also reversible.
Today they have all been busy learning about engineers and how they design and build the things we see around us. They then created their own helicopter, parachute and aeroplane and we had great fun testing them! ... See MoreSee Less

Another day, another investigation—this time in Maths! 🔺📐
Class Three have been busy exploring different types of triangles. Using straws, the children created their own equilateral, isosceles and scalene triangles, carefully thinking about the length of each side. Some even challenged themselves to make triangles with right angles.
Afterwards, the class investigated a range of different triangles and worked together to sort and classify them using Venn diagrams, thinking carefully about the different properties each triangle has.
A brilliant hands-on way to investigate shape, angles and mathematical thinking. Please ask them about the properties of triangles.
Well done, Class Three! 👏📏 ... See MoreSee Less

Today Class 3 became snake scientists! 🐍
We investigated how snakes are able to eat prey much bigger than their own heads. The children explored how a snake’s jaw works and discovered that, unlike our jaws, a snake’s jaw is connected by flexible ligaments that allow it to stretch and open incredibly wide.
To help us understand this, we made our own models of a snake’s jaw and used them to demonstrate how the ligaments allow the mouth to open far wider than our own. The children loved testing their models and seeing just how big a “meal” their snake could swallow!
A fantastic mix of science, creativity, and curiosity today! 🐍✨ ... See MoreSee Less

What a fantastic start to STEM Week! 🧪🔬
Class 3 have been busy investigating the question: Which drink is worst for our teeth? 🦷🥤
As no one was quite willing to donate their teeth in the name of science, we’ve had to make do with boiled eggs instead! The eggshells are a great substitute for tooth enamel, so they’re perfect for our experiment.
We’ve placed them in different drinks and are looking forward to observing what happens over the next week. Fingers crossed the classroom doesn’t get too smelly by the end of it! 🤞😅
Stay tuned for our results! ... See MoreSee Less

Nursery and Reception have used the story ‘Journey’ by Aaron Becker as a stimulus for their World Book Day celebrations. They went for a hunt for the magic doors, a portal into imaginary worlds that stories create. They then used the theme of the story to design their own magnificent flying machines and their own magic doors. The children came up with wonderful ideas about where they might go through their door - the jungle, desert, a treasure island. We talked about how a story can really transport us to amazing places in our imagination! ... See MoreSee Less
