Today we did multi-skills in PE, focusing on developing our catching and throwing skills using a variety of different sized balls. 

Year 5 had great fun when Vicky, the Science Boffin, arrived in school to demonstrate different aspects of Science in her assembly!  In their workshop, they learnt about atoms, and how static charge happens.

Today, we have taken part in an incredible illusions workshop with Science Boffins. Oh what fun we had, finding animals hidden in the pictures. 

Year 3 watched lots of exciting experiments in the Boffin assembly. 

In their workshop they looked very closely at illusions. Are the coloured papers different sizes? Or is it just an illusion? 

Another fabulous Freddie Fit exercise class for Year 4. 

Year 4 have been planting broad beans so that they can observe the stages of germination. As part of the British Science week topic of growth, Year 4 will be watching their broad beans root and shoots grow as they were placed somewhere they would have warmth, air and water so that they could germinate. Keep checking our blogs for updates on our broad bean plants. 

We had a fabulous visitor in school today. Science Boffins set the day off with a great assembly where we saw flames, Miss Harvey experimented on, elephant toothpaste and an invisible baby dragon. 

The day continued with an amazing workshop for Year 4, where we learnt about static electricity, how the film industry do stunts and we managed to make slime.

We ended the day with a rocket launch and we were amazed at how far it reached up in he air. 

A brilliant immersion into lots of different elements of science.

This year Science Week's theme is Growth. Today, Year 3 children planted some pepper, carrot, lettuce and tomato seeds. We also set up a spring onion growth investigation. It involved measuring (amount of water, lenght and circumference of the spring onions) and cutting. We put our spring onions in water and placed them outside. We will be observing them for the next 2 weeks and recording our finding. 

We aslo planted some cress seeds and placed them in different conditions to find out what seeds and plants need to grow. 

Keep checking our blog for updates on our plants. 

The theme for the 2022 Science Week is ‘Growth’

Welcome to science week in Year 4. This week we will be finding out about digestion, planting broad beans for our school vegetable patch and learning about Jane Goddall. We have the Science Boffins in school on Tuesday, science fair and dress up as a scientist day on Friday too. Don't forget to join in with our school competition where you need to design a poster representing growth. Keep reading our blogs to see what we're up to in Year 4.
