Year 5 were so excited to visit the Science Fair today and Year 4 didn't disappoint!  They were brilliant hosts and so knowledgeable about their particular element of science!  There were so many areas of science on offer that Year 5 were spoilt for choice but they managed to have a try at everything!  It was great fun!  Thank you Year 4 and Mrs Higham and Miss Deer for organising the event!  We loved it!

Year 1 loved visiting the school Science fair. They got to guess the flavour of crisps by smelling them, see how many cubes could fit in a boat before it sank, make fizzy colours and so much more. They even got to pass electricity through everyone at the end to make the bar light up and learnt if they let go of hands and broke the circuit that it wouldn't light up anymore. A big thank you to the Year 4 pupils for running it; you were great and I'm sure you are Scientists in the making!

Year 6 had a wonderful time at the Science Fair today where they took part in a multitude of science activities ranging from magnets to chemical reactions to digestive systems to stactic electricity.

Thank you to Year 4 for organising this and for your fabulous leadership skills.

Today, Year 2 took part in lot’s of fun science experiments which Year 4 prepared and delivered. These activities included: chemical reactions, optical illusions, learning about famous Scientists, locating and labelling human body parts, working with magnets and much more.

Year 3 really enjoyed taking part in Broadbent Fold's Science fair.

Superb hosts giving children the chance to:*guess the famous scientist

*build the human body

*mircoscope looking

*optical illusions

Future scientist in the making!

Year 4 are ready for Science Fair number 2. 

Year 5 were able to use their prior knowledge of their Forces topic this morning!  They remembered key vocaculary such as Gravity, Friction and Air Resistance together with their meanings!  Along with Mr B and Mr T, the class made their own rockets, with specific instructions, to get the best possible launch!  Outside, everyone had the opportunity to launch their rockets and Mr T timed them to see which rocket stayed in the air for longest!  It was great fun for everyone!  Thank you to Mr B and Mr T for a brilliant workshop!  Mrs Blomeley

Today, as part of our topic 'Where would we be without the bee', our Science topic 'Plants' and to celebrate Science week, Year 2 have been extremely busy tidying up the garden planters and planting bee friendly wild flower seeds to encourage a variety of different species of bee to visit our site. We safely used tools to tidy up the plants and get rid of the weeds. We then used the plant waste to make some compost heaps and bug houses to encourage a range of wildlife to visit the garden area. While we were gardening we found lots of worms, wood lice and snails.

To celebrate Science week, Year 2 took part in an 'Animals including Humans' workshop where the children learnt some cool facts about the human body, learnt some names of bones and took part in a circuit of physical activities to explore what actions humans can do. What a fun day we have had! 

Today, as part of our topic 'Where would we be without the bee?' we took part in a honey tasting experience. The children learnt how bees make honey and thet got to taste honey from Greece, Africa, UK and China. The children rated each of the four countries honey from 1-10 (10 being the most delicious) and then wrote a short explanation about why it was their favourite. COOL FACT: Did you know that honey from different parts of the world will taste different as it depends on the plants that the bees gather the nectar from!
